The State Historical Society has the extant records of the AFHW. These records are thorough for the term of Benet's presidency but uneven for the years prior to that because of a housecleaning conducted by Benet's predecessor. At the time of this interview, Benet gave the Society a copy of his farewell address to the Executive Council of the Industrial Union Department in which he made a plea for assistance in organizing the South; this speech was added to the AFHW collection.
