This series consists of the record copies of the publications of the State Board of Probation. The State Board was composed of members of the Board of Pardons and Paroles who served ex-officio as the Board of Probation from 1956 to 1972. The Department of Probation administered the policies which the Board created. These administrative functions fell to the Division of Probation of the Department of Offender Rehabilitation after 1972, and the policy-making functions came under the Board of Offender Rehabilitation (see RG 78). The Board and the Department of Offender Rehabilitation became the Board and the Department of Corrections in 1982.
