Background

Scope and content:

The Lawrence A. Cabot Papers consist of both subject files and legislation related to Cabot's service in the New York State Assembly from 1964-1965. The subject files contain primarily correspondence although there are also newspaper clippings, press releases, and one map. The legislation includes bills that Cabot sponsored while in the Assembly and resolutions he was involved with. The legislation files frequently include supplemental materials such as correspondence and newspaper clippings.

Please note the archivist retained the original arrangment of the collection. Therefore there is a "resolutions" folder containing resolutions from local governments in Cabot's district in Series 1 as well as individual folders containing resolutions in Series 2. The folder in Series 1 simply contains the resolutions themselves while the files in Series 2 generally contain the resolutions as well as supplemental materials.
