Series 1: Board of Trustees, 1937-1993

Series

Scope and Contents

The Board of Trustees documents include bylaws, reports, correspondence, election records, minutes, and other materials relating to the operation of the Board. As members both elect trustees and serve on the Board, this series highlights the principles upon which GHA was founded. These records provide the most complete record of the organization's actions and infrastructure, particularly through the large volume of minutes from different types of meetings. There are sub-series related to other series because the Board retained individual topic files, and in some cases identical records. The most detailed documentation occurs between 1950-1993. The series is organized alphabetically into fourteen sub-series.
