Historical Note

The functions of the Supervisor of Clerical Staff included overseeing the assignment of work duties and enforcement of office policies so that inventorying, ordering and payments would be completed in a timely manner.

Staff that worked with purchase vouchers processed all necessary paperwork and followed through on requisitions.

Biographical Note

Harold Washington was the first African American mayor of Chicago, elected in 1983.

Harold Washington was born on April 15, 1922, at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. His parents, Roy Lee and Bertha Jones Washington, divorced when he was young, and he lived with his father in Chicago and attended boarding school in Milwaukee. Washington entered Chicago’s DuSable High School in 1939, served in the Civilian Conservation Corps for six months, enlisted in the military from 1943 to 1946, and returned to DuSable High School to graduate in 1946. After earning a bachelor degree at Roosevelt University in Chicago and a law degree at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., Washington enjoyed a career as a practicing attorney before he turned to politics.

Washington’s political career encompassed roles at the municipal, state and national levels of government. He served as Illinois State Representative for the 26th District from 1965 to 1976. He then became Illinois State Senator for the 26th District from 1976 to 1980. Washington ran for mayor of Chicago in 1977, but lost. In 1980, he became a U.S. Congressman for the 1st District and served in that post until 1983. Washington again ran for mayor in 1983, winning the Democratic primary election in February of that year and the general election in April. He was inaugurated on April 29, 1983 and was re-elected in 1987. Harold Washington died at 1:36 PM on November 25, 1987 of a cardiac arrest, just a few months into his second term as mayor. He is buried in Chicago’s Oak Woods Cemetery.

Scope and Contents

These files (boxes 22-31) show how payments were made to companies or contractors for services rendered. Such services include messenger deliveries, provision of water coolers, coffee service, office equipment repairs and travel agents. The vouchers also show how staff were reimbursed for expenses incurred.

Arrangement

Most of these files were arranged alphabetically by company name, although several expandable folders held vouchers for an entire year. These expandable folders have been broken down and all vouchers are now filed alphabetically by company name, then chronologically where appropriate.
