Gilbert Porter Collection

.5 Linear Foot

The records in the Gilbert Porter Desegregation Files consist of Dade County school reports, and national school reports relating to integration and desegregation plans and procedures. There is also material on the Florida Conference of Social Welfare and the Florida Conference of Social Work. A large portion of the collection is newspaper clippings about race relations and integration in Dade County, and the State of Florida.

Inclusive subjects and descriptions of processing procedures provided by Kenneth D. Harris and M. Dawson circa 1999.

A preliminary survey was conducted on the records. The material was then sorted by record type and subject. Rusting hardware was removed from the records. The material was then put in alphabetical and chronological order and placed in acid-free folders and boxes. Appropriate box labels were affixed before shelving and storing the collection in the archives stacks.

Closed to the public online.
