Scope and Contents
The DiRosa records contain subject files from the councilperson's two terms in office. Many of the subject files deal with civic matters, social services, and local organizations. Of particular note are the liquor license revocations that were part of a morality enforcement against gambling, sex work, and same-sex bars. Many of the organizations present in the collection are local social service organizations or political organizations, including anti-community organizations from the 1960s.
