Series Description

 

Series I Minutes 1908-1980

Physical Description: 17 volumes and 2 folders

Scope and Content Note

The 15 volumes of lodge # 68 regular and executive meeting minutes form an unbroken chronological account of all lodge activities between 1908 and 1948. Besides detailed accounts of meetings, the minutes also include correspondence, resolutions and ballots. The amount of detail found in the last two volumes of the minute books (1946-1948) has decreased, perhaps reflecting the fortunes of Lodge #68. Minutes of lodge #68 Building Corporation Committee have survived from 1955 to 1980, however they are narrow in scope and only concern the problem of finding suitable premises for the union's relocations. The 1917-1921 Golden West Lodge #1 minute book is also included in this series. Golden West Lodge #1 was the benevolent organization for Lodge #68.
 

Series II Membership, 1903-1945

Physical Description: 7 volumes and 1 folder

Scope and Content Note

This series contains 5 volumes of membership dues ledgers, 1900-1903, membership application ledgers (fees) from 1903-1940, and initiation and reinstatement records 1937-1945. The membership series contains useful demographic and genealogical information including place of birth and indicates extent of lodge membership.

Physical Description: 3 volumes

Scope and Content Note
