	Biographical/Historical:	The Florida Park Service was created in 1935 under the Board of Forestry (Chapter 17025, Laws of Florida). It was responsible for the development and operation of Florida's state parks. Its duties were transferred to the Board of Parks and Historic Memorials in 1949 (Ch. 25353, Laws). In 1969, the Board of Parks and Historic Memorials and the Outdoor Recreational Development Council were merged into a Division of Recreation and Parks, within the new Department of Natural Resources (Ch. 69-106, Laws). The Division's duties were to preserve, manage, protect, and regulate all parks and recreational areas which were held by the state of Florida. In 1993, the Department of Natural Resources merged with the Department of Environmental Regulation to form the new Department of Environmental Protection (Ch. 93-213, Laws).
	Summary:	This series contains Florida Park Service contract surveyors' "engineers' field books" used to record the measurements and azimuth data in laying out the land to be surveyed for park projects at the various park facilities. Notebooks may contain pencil and/or pen sketches, remarks, and other suplementary information as it relates to the property being surveyed. Among state parks surveyed were Anastasia, Bahia Honda, Fort Clinch, Highlands Hammock, Hillsborough River, Little Talbot Island, Myakka River, O'Leno, and Torreya.
