Custodial History

This series is the remnant of old record group -511, from which several series were created. Records were transferred to the State Archives from the Dept. of Agriculture and Markets, Office of Migrant Child Care, in May 1977. This accession resulted from a project undertaken by Archives staff in 1997 to accession or reintegrate estrayed or unidentified records.
