Montana State Highway Commission records volume 005

Details

DescriptionVolume 5 (1931-1933) of the Montana State Highway Commission records consists of meeting minutes detailing the Commission’s oversight of highway development and maintenance projects across the state. The state Legislative Assembly created the Montana State Highway Commission in 1913. The original Commission was composed of three members. In 1917 new legislation altered the organization of the Commission by authorizing the appointment of twelve members according to geographic highway districts. Membership changed again in 1921 to three members appointed by the Governor and in 1941 to five members, also appointed by the Governor. With Chapter 7 of the Executive Reorganization Act of 1971 implemented by executive order of the Governor on December 16, 1971, the newly created Montana Department of Highways assumed all but the advisory functions of the State Highway Commission. The Commission continues to operate in this capacity for the Department of Transportation.TypeTextCreatorMontana State Highway CommissionGenredocumentLanguageengDate1931-1933SubjectHighway planningContributing InstitutionMontana Historical Society Research CenterPublisherMontana Historical Society Library & ArchivesDigital CollectionMontana State Highway Commission MinutesDigital Formatapplication/pdfDigitization SpecificationsIn 2020 the Montana State Highway Commission meeting minutes were digitized into high-definition tiff files. Following the completion of the digitization project, an MTHS Archivist converted the tiff files into individual PDFs and combined all PDFs into binders with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. With ABBYY FineReader PDF 15, Optimal Character Recognition (OCR) and Mixed Raster Content (MRC) compression were performed on each PDF binder. After their final conversion into archivable PDF/As, the project reached its completion in early 2023.Date Digitized2020Physical Collection(RS 344) Montana State Highway Commission records
