	Handbook of Texas Online: TEXAS HISTORICAL RECORDS SURVEY
		As a part of the general federal relief program, a national historical records survey was undertaken in the winter of 1935 for the two-fold purpose of providing useful employment to historians, lawyers, teachers, and research and clerical workers and of preparing inventories of historical materials.
		The survey focused on unpublished records and documents of each governmental unit, to facilitate the administration of government; to provide data for students of political, economic, and social history; and to meet the needs of lawyers, businessmen, and other citizens who require facts from the public records for the proper conduct of their affairs.
		On November 1, 1939, the Texas historical records survey, as a unit of the Texas statewide records project, organized on October 16, 1939, and cosponsored by the Bureau of Research in the Social Sciences of the University of Texas and city and county governmental units, was established.

	Report on the SC 1999 Survey of Historical Records Repositories
		But when considering where and how to deliver services to historical records keepers, the SC SHRAB could keep in mind that there is a significant split between the few larger repositories that hold the bulk of the materials and the many other repositories whose collections are quite small.
		In each survey, the respondents were asked to indicate what portion of their collections were stored in areas equipped to provide year-round temperature and humidity controls.
		Clearly historical records repositories in South Carolina have come to depend on the South Carolina Department of Archives and History (SCDAH) and/or the South Carolina State Historical Records Advisory Board (SC SHRAB) as their primary source of advice and assistance (Tables K.5.a and K.5.b).
