Part 2 (M64-154, PH U.S. Mss AG): Additions, 1925-1983 1.8 c.f. (5 archives boxes) and 16 photographs : These additions date 1925-1983 (bulk 1941-1976). They include administrative files; minutes of annual meetings and board of directors meetings; programs and other materials on the annual conferences; the files of officers Roy Buck and Arthur Wileden; and materials on the organization’s efforts to persuade the government to convene a second Commission on Country Life. These records relate in part to the readjustment of structure and membership pattern following the withdrawal in 1940 of a foundation grant under which the ACLA had operated. Photographs relate to group meetings and events of the ACLA in Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana.
