New York State Department of Civil Service Examination and Staffing Services Division Municipal Examination Administration Files

Alphabetic by title of examination.

This series was maintained by the Division of Examinations to monitor and aid municipal civil service commissions in the creation and administration of examinations.

It contains two types of files. The first type relates to examinations actually given and contains examinations, announcements, and correspondence relating to the creation and administration of the examinations. A file may relate to all examinations given for a title or to a specific examination given for a specific municipality.

A smaller set of files contains sample examinations and announcements which were loaned to municipalities. The first file in this set contains a record (on cards) of municipalities receiving sample examinations and announcements.

Series B0504, Municipal civil service examinations, contains examinations for local positions from 1944-1953. Post 1953 exams are on file with the Department of Civil Service.
