Like the rest of the nation, urban renewal took center stage as a response to the spread of blight in cities. This thesis project explores the work of the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency, particularly in the second half of the twentieth-century. The work undertaken by the agency, reflects the city’s demand in preserving and redeveloping their West End and the downtown district. The resulting project produced a container list for the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency Records Collections housed at the Center for Sacramento History; the information gathered from the collection and research presents the agency’s application of urban renewal practices. _______________________, Committee Chair Lee Simpson, Ph.D. _______________________ Date v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my readers, Dr. Simpson and Dylan McDonald for having the patience in dealing with me and helping me produce a readable thesis project. I feel indebted to John Allen, for allowing me to pick his brain and borrow his books.

That Tuesday night, Summer proposed her idea for an Old Sacramento waterfront monument. City leaders were looking for a new way to attract tourists and accumulate revenue for Old Sacramento, Sacramento’s historic district established to preserve the history of the city. To address the problem, the city believed it necessary to build a monument that would reinvigorate interest in the historic district. Summer’s idea inspired by the “World of Color” show at Disney California Adventure Park, replicates this water show but introduces a Sacramento historical narrative. Whether this idea takes fruition remains to be seen. While it is uncertain what monument or attraction will occupy Old Sacramento next, the mission to revitalize the area is not a new endeavor taken by the city or its agencies. One such agency engaged in the city’s downtown district is the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA). SHRA works to ensure affordable housing and community revitalization by providing residents with safer neighborhoods. While the agency continues its agenda, records of previous projects remain.1 Documented in a series of project files, the SHRA maintained record files of their redevelopment work in the city. Specifically, the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency Records acquired by the Center for Sacramento History (Center) in 1997 includes: correspondence and memorandums from SHRA to various Old 1 Ryan Lillies. “Old Sac Monument? A 13-year-old girl has a Disney-inspired idea – and the city loves it,” Sacramento Bee, June 28, 2017, accessed December 8, 2017, http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/city-beat/article158571864.html. 2 Sacramento redevelopers and property owners; parcel rehabilitation surveys; financial and lease agreements; various reports and studies regarding Old Sacramento redevelopment; parcel maps; and architectural drawings of buildings. Additional types of documentation present within this collection consists of files regarding the redevelopment of properties known as the Docks area, 111 Capitol Mall, the California State Railroad Museum, the Central Pacific Railroad, and other properties in the greater Sacramento area. The remainder of the collection consists of numerous SHRA coded redevelopment files. These files, in a large part, are associated with a wide array of redevelopment projects both within and outside the city of Sacramento. The extent of the collection encompasses approximately 320 boxes with records ranging circa 1950 – 2000 as dates of creation, with predating reports on the West End and Capitol Mall projects. The Center houses the collection at their McClellan Park offsite facility given the size needed for storage. Because of its size, the collection remains unprocessed with very little information as to what items are in the collection. This project will rectify the problem by providing a container and folder list that encompasses the contents of every box in the collection. Operating under the archival practice of “More Product Less Process” (MPLP), the project seeks to provide accessibility to the collection through a faster process with minimal archival preservation steps applied to the items. As the name suggests, MPLP refers to the theory that archivists need to adapt their approach in processing a collection in a flexible, simpler manner, to reduce the processing time. These efforts attempt to 3 remedy the continual backlog of collections plaguing archival institutions.2 Because the archival staff received no documentation pertaining to the collection during the accessioning process, the staff decided that in the interest of best archival practices, the records would be kept as received. Given the arrangement of the collection, followed by a filing system implemented by the agency, adequate description of the collection already existed within its files. Through this, combined with a container list, researchers will have an updated list to guide them in searching applicable information, while the archivists staffing the reference desk will have a more clear idea of how the collection provides information for a research request. Considering the scope of the collection and the relevance of the general areas it covers, the collection could see incremental use for any researcher pursuing knowledge about Sacramento’s downtown area, socioeconomic conditions in the heart of the city, and the urban renewal projects that took place in the latter half of the twentieth century. Capturing the city of Sacramento and its transition over time, this thesis examines the urban development of the city and the work of agencies like SHRA and those that preceded it. Starting with the arrival of pioneers after the discovery of gold in nearby Coloma in 1848, the city found permanence as a hub for all those testing their luck in search of riches. Although some did find wealth in the mines, it was those who provided services such as lodging, laundry, cooking, banking, and general goods that found their efforts rewarded in gold. It was here Sacramento became a city capable of expanding 2 Mark A. Green and Dennis Meissner, “More Product Less Process: Revamping Traditional Archival Processing,” The American Archivist,

Most of the photographs were taken by David Joslyn during the 1920's while he was an employee of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Therefore, many of the photos deal with the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific Railroad Lines. Some of the photographs are copied from earlier photos, drawings and lithographs. Joslyn also took numerous photographs of the State Capitol and the surrounding park as well as many shots from rooftops around the area of downtown Sacramento. These photographs are invaluable when searching for specific locations or businesses in early 20th century Sacramento.

The project is located at 3101 Redding Avenue in Sacramento. Figures 1 and 2 depict the general project location and the project site map. The proposed project consolidates and streamlines the cooking that currently takes place at individual schools. By shifting the cooking to a centralized location, there is substantial reduction in energy usage as the Central Kitchen would employ modern, energy efficient appliances. These replace the older cooking appliances currently being used. The project would not lead to not any increase in the number of meals that would be prepared or the amount of solid waste that would be produced.
