Women’s Auxiliary #2 - Carpenters (Toledo, Ohio) records

The minutes of the Women's Auxiliary #2 stretch from 1902 until 1977. The collection contains only one folder of correspondence as some records were lost during the 1930s. The collection also includes a scrapbook, dues registers, membership applications, and pamphlets. Though there is a complete run of minutes, the information contained is of an abbreviate nature; thus the lack of correspondence will be a drawback to the researcher.

Although the Women's Auxiliary received some communication from the Toledo Central Labor Union regarding major issues within the carpenters' union, the Auxiliary's main concerns were those of a social and philanthropic nature. The collection, however, may have some value for the labor historian or the women's studies researcher as this particular women's auxiliary was the first of its kind in the nation.
