PREFACE

In 1965 th e s ta ff of the Le g isla tive Council accomplished and

d istrib u te d The Minutes of the D a ily P roceedings oft the Alaska

C onstitu tio na l Convention, 1955-56. The six-par t tra n sc rip tio n

oft the debates and r elated materials was d istrib u te d to convention

delegates and reference lib ra r ie s throughout the s ta te .

The 1965 publication lacked a basic index, allowing the reader

easy access to the committee proposals and ordinances where they

were discussed and to the decisions on the final substance and

wording of the articles and their sections.

The Legislative Affairs Agency arranged with Katherine V. Nordale,

a delegate to the convention, to apply her considerable talents

to a probing of the proceedings and supporting materials to

identify the sources of all parts of the final document, treatment

oft subjects not ultimately included in the constitution, identify

consultants and guests, and note the arrangements fo r the organiza-

tion and administration of the convention itself. We are appre-

ciative of her very successful eff orts and offer this index to

the explorers of Alaska constitutional history with the hope that

it will ease their path.
