To view original files please contact the Connecticut State Library at 860-757-6500.\n\nThe Connecticut State Library contains s a collection of Public Health circular letters sent out between 1941 \u2013 1984. A circular letter is typically a formal or official written document or communication that is addressed to a group of individuals.\n\n(Current circular letters may be found on the Department of Public Health website).\n\nPlease note that over time Bureau titles may have changed.  For example in the 1941 volume there is a Bureau of Occupational Diseases but in later years it became the Bureau of Industrial Hygiene.\n\nIn 1941 there were eleven bureaus within the Department of Health:\n\nAdministration\nChild Hygiene\nLaboratories\nMental Hygiene\nOccupational Diseases\nPreventable Diseases\nPublic Health Instruction and Nutrition\nPublic Health Nursing\nSanitary Engineering\nVenereal Diseases\nVital Statistics\n\nSome of these bureaus also had Divisions. The volume for 1941 includes two content listing indices. The first index pages are listed by Department of Public Health circular number. This includes columns for Letter Number, Bureau, and Reference page.\n\nExample:   [Letter #] 43\n[Bureau] Administration (Hairdressing)\n[Reference Page ] 1-C\n\nThe second index pages are arranged by Bureaus. Columns on these pages include Addressee, Letter Number, and File Number.  For example on the Administration (Hairdressing) reference page 1-C you would find:\n\nExample:  TO: School Owners re: changes in rules and regulations prescribed for schools for instruction in hairdressing\n\n[ Letter No. ] 6 (The number 6 indicates a letter number assigned for use within the \u201cHairdressing\u201d section)\n[ File No.]  43 (The File number 43 is the original Circular number)\n\nIn addition the 1941 volume is divided into chapters including: Camps, Laboratories, Well Child conferences, etc. The reference pages will indicate the letter\u2019s chapter or section.  Such as  Hairdressing for Letter #43.\n\nThis appears to be the pattern for the other volumes as well.\n\nVisit the State Agency Profiles page for Connecticut Department of Public Health statutory authority, agency history, published history and articles, agency documents and list of commissioners.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "describedBy": "https://data.ct.gov/api/views/brjr-22yq/columns.json", "describedByType": "application/json", "downloadURL": "https://data.ct.gov/api/v3/views/brjr-22yq/query.json?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "application/json"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "describedBy": "https://data.ct.gov/api/views/brjr-22yq/columns.xml", "describedByType": "application/xml", "downloadURL": "https://data.ct.gov/api/v3/views/brjr-22yq/export.xml?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "application/xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.ct.gov/api/v3/views/brjr-22yq/export.csv?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "text/csv"}], "identifier": "https://data.ct.gov/api/views/brjr-22yq", "issued": "2024-07-03", "keyword": ["circular letters", "connecticut state library", "csl", "ct state library", "department of health", "gis"], "landingPage": "https://data.ct.gov/d/brjr-22yq", "modified": "2024-07-22", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "data.ct.gov"}, "theme": ["History"], "title": "Index to CT Department of Health Circular Letters, 1941-1984"}
