Forks Conservation Association records
Collection – Multiple Containers
Identifier: MS-0738
Collection Organization
The records of the Forks Conservation Association offer a glimpse into the casual sportsmen events of Northwest Ohio in the mid-20th century as well as the operational activities of a membership organization. The collection contains minutes and correspondence from 1955 until 2012 as well as original membership cards, lists, and rosters. The collection also includes the deed and map of the Forks Conservation Club, the official rules and prices for amateur trapshooting, and event advertisements for national coon dog field races in the area. The trap-shoot records from 1998 to 1993 and the hunting permit tags sold between 1961 and 2001 demonstrate the popularity of hunting and fishing leisure activities during this time. The main strength of this collection is the membership records, but it also contains the original land deed, the association’s constitution and bylaws, the 1944 Articles of Incorporation document, and a 1955 to 1971 ledger.
