Woodlands Apartments, 2006
Scope and Contents
The records in this collection have generally been kept in the order that they were received by the City Archives. Records are divided into five series: Criminal Justice, Recovery, Subject Files, Housing, and Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO). The majority of records in this collection concern City Council recovery efforts following Hurricane Katrina and Carter’s work with criminal justice reform. Of particular interest are records pertaining to the demolition of the “Big Four” public housing developments—C.J. Peete, Lafitte, St. Bernard, and B.W. Cooper. Records include correspondence, agendas, working papers, and meeting notes from the office of James Carter. Some materials have been cataloged in other department collections and are available to researchers upon request. A list of those additional materials is attached to this inventory.
