This is all material whose original purpose was to use as information in writing the 2001 history. The final manuscript is also included here. A good portion of the YMCA’s photographs and brochures were copied and are included here. The YMCA has quite a full run of newsletters. Only relevant sections of less than half of these were copied and can be found here. The biographical files contain information copied from the P & B files and elsewhere in the Local History Department. Carl Bajema has added to the newspaper articles in large part and continues to do so. This is the reason for the disproportionate amount of articles from the 1880s and 1890s, a period of special interest to Prof. Bajema. Some of the general historical information in this series was found on the website, www.ymca.net. The very recent promotional material came from the YMCA. Everything in these folders is arranged by date, except for the biographical files that are arranged alphabetically, and the local history department photographs that are arranged by collection number.
