RBF Consulting Donates Historic Survey Records to County of Orange
SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
In a presentation held Wednesday morning, RBF Consulting (RBF) donated thousands of pages of valuable survey records dating back to the 1940's and 50's, to the County of Orange, California. The records included notes, boundary surveys and historic data for property in the County surveyed by the firm under the original Jack S. Raub company name. RBF has carefully retained these records on behalf of clients but they have not been a part of the historic records of the Orange County Survey/Public Works Department until this week.
I know a surveyor in a small rural county nearby that wanted to donate all of his dads old survey records to the county. The county refused to take them.

It is a shame they didn't take them. I can see though why some governments wouldn't take them. They would have to index them, organize them, scan them, put them online, store the originals, which all costs money. The way some governments are strapped right now, I really can see why they would have turned him down. It's too bad though, but that was probably the reason.
