Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

Series 4, Subseries B, Financial Records, 1941-1942, is concerned with financial matters, particularly fundraising and donations. The majority of this material is presented in the form of contributor lists. These monthly lists contain the names, addresses, and donations of individuals around the country. Most contributions were small, ranging from $1 to $25. Each month typically has a day-by-day accounting of donations, with a consolidated list at the end of the month. Individuals who gave larger amounts, typically exceeding $100, are listed in the large gifts category. This subseries also contains a collection of correspondence – simple reminder letters sent to individuals who agreed to solicit gifts, urging them to follow up on their commitments.

Other files in this subseries contain typical financial documents such as cash statements from May to December 1941, income and expense statements from April to November 1941, and two reports on the examination of cash receipts and disbursements.
