Metropolitan Association of General Improvement Contractors, 1958
Scope and Contents
This Series holds the manuscripts and printed materials that Headley acquired from business and community organizations. It contains materials collected from several Washington, DC area neighborhood groups—including the Southwest Citizens’ Association and the Federation of Citizens’ Associations—local business organizations, political associations, and special interest groups. The materials consist of correspondence, public testimony, resolutions, reports, flyers, advertisements, and newsletters. Topics include citizens’ rights, the right for District residents to vote in Presidential elections, juvenile delinquency, city planning, zoning, development, mortgage loans, relocation, and resident grievances. Correspondence of the Southwest Citizens’ Association is responded to by the DC Redevelopment Land Agency in its file located in Series III. The files of the Southwest Community Council and the Southwest Neighborhood Assembly contain some materials published jointly. Items generated after 1962 by the Washington Housing Association are found under the group’s new title: the Washington Planning and Housing Association. The earliest materials date from 1956, the latest date from 1975. The majority of items span the years 1958 to 1965. Materials are arranged alphabetically by originating organization; within the folders the items are arranged chronologically.
