Abstract
Records of the Homestead group and their efforts at self government. Copy of recording secretary's diary (1935-1938) includes
entries about organizing committees and managing projects at Arthurdale such as athletics, maintenance, social programs and
medical care. Noteworthy is the mention of organizing efforts by the Homesteaders in their relations with the federal government,
particularly lobbying for higher pay scales. Also included is a typescript copy of a diary of the founding days by one of
the early members (November-December 1933), in which he mentions construction efforts, weather conditions, and a visit by
Eleanor Roosevelt.
This collection is also available on microfilm (1 reel).
