This series documents the initial gift which created the Meade Collection, the scrapbook which includes information on George Welsh and other people and activities in which Meade was involved while serving as a secretary in the Mayor's office.

Included in the scrapbook are original photographs, newspaper clippings including those which use some of the photographs, some correspondence, ephemera and realia. In March 2008, additional processing work was done to further describe the original photographs, and to house and describe loose material which had never been mounted or some loose from the scrapbook.
