The collection contains documents from both the John Ball Park Community Association and the John Ball Park Target Area Council with the bulk of the material representing the latter. The two organizations are related, though the Council has the more specific mission of spending federal grant money. The records pertaining to each were found definitively separated. There are organizational records such as correspondence, meeting minutes and by-laws primarily from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, though the newsletters continue to 1991. The two bulkiest and most consistent series are correspondence and meeting minutes/agendas. Other material has been sorted by document type such as “legal documents” and “reports”.
