Scope and content:

The Sally H. Thomas papers (1968-2010; 76 cubic feet) document the political career of Sally H. Thomas as a member of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, as well as a member of the Albemarle County School Board. The materials in this collection mainly consist of Albemarle County Board of Supervisors correspondence, reports, budgets, site plans and maps, city-planning documents and publications, and related printed materials. Some of the topics emphasized are conservation, rural preservation, community services, infrastructure, and transportation planning as key features of Sally Thomas' career. Materials mostly include Albemarle County planning with some Charlottesville city planning documents, and Albemarle County School Board budgets and plans as well. The materials document the development needs of the Albemarle/Charlottesville area as population and economic growth increased, and highlight the attempt to balance economic and residential development with environmental conservation needs and the interests of rural areas.
