Daughters of the American Revolution. Martha Pitkin Chapter (Sandusky, Ohio) records
Collection Organization
The Martha Pitkin Chapter, D.A.R. records span the years 1867 to 2000. The largest portion of the collection is the secretary's books which contain the minutes of the activities of the organization as well as membership lists and committees. The proceedings of the Chapter also are represented by a few minute books of the Executive Board, which includes consideration of program activities as well as approval of new members.
The minutes, scrapbooks, and reports from the periods of both World Wars and afterwards give a view of humanitarian projects and support for veterans.
The extensive series of yearbooks illustrate the actual programs presented by the Chapter in their meetings, with various topical groupings such as educational, spiritual, and patriotic used to categorize the events. These yearbooks also provide the names of the hostess for each meeting and an annual roster of the active members.
