(accessed December 12, 2018).","Robert Breen, born December 26, 1909 in Hibbing, Minnesota, served as the Executive Secretary of the American National Theatre and Academy (ANTA) from 1946-1952, and was instrumental in much of the organization's success, both domestically and internationally. In addition to serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps, Breen had an extensive background in theater. Prior to joining ANTA, Breen founded a theater program at the College of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota, as well as established the Chicago unit for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Theatre Project with his wife, Wilva Davis Breen. Wilva herself was instrumental in promoting and guiding ANTA's many and varied operations, and getting the organization off the ground. The Breens' apartment home - situated above the Hudson Theatre in New York City, NY - served as ANTA's early headquarters. Davis Breen served as Breen's constant support and collaborator until he passed away on March 31, 1990."," The American National Theatre and Academy (ANTA) was the United States' first national theater and dance organization, in the tradition of European national theaters. Originating in 1935 with a charter from the U.S. Congress, ANTA continued until 1966 when the National Endowment for the Arts came into being. ANTA was responsible for both the presentation of American theater in the U.S. and abroad."," Although officially formed in 1935, ANTA did not begin actual operation until 1946 due to a variety of factors, including the Great Depression and World War II. During the depression, federal funding was funnelled towards the Works Progress Administration's Federal Theatre Project, another national performing arts program. In addition to these setbacks, the ANTA board, comprised of prominent citizens and business leaders from outside the theater community, could not agree on the goals of ANTA. Eventually, Robert Breen and Robert Porterfield, two men with Army and theater backgrounds, took the reins of ANTA and initiated its revitalization. Porterfield and Breen developed ANTA's \"Foundation Plan,\" with the intention of having ANTA become the foundation for and driving force behind the stimulation of growth of American theater. The plan, successfully undertaken by Breen, Porterfield, and Breen's wife Wilva Davis Breen, called for a National Foundation to make loans and grants, insure theater projects against loss, as well as a National Service Bureau to provide technical assistance for acting companies, as well as a national clearing house for theater information. The plan was adopted by the ANTA Board in 1946."," Under the guidance of Breen, ANTA produced several projects in the U.S. with successful results during the postwar years. From 1946 - 1948, ANTA sponsored a series of plays called the Experimental Theatre. Its goal was to \"present new, interesting plays which would not see production on Broadway due to present high costs.\" Admittedly, the plays were \"not necessarily perfect\" but \"worthy of a trial production in a simplified fashion\" according to an ANTA letter offering subscription to the series, which included high profile playwrights and actors. During the late 1940s and early 1950s ANTA sponsored a number of drama festivals across the U.S., featuring well-known actors. ANTA also featured a televised production of short plays for NBC television. With the intention of promoting theater growth in the U.S. and showcasing new talent, ANTA produced, supported, and promoted theater projects all across the United States."," Internationally, ANTA promoted artistic exchange between the U.S. and Europe, and entertained American troops there. This was initiated with a 1949 tour of William Shakespeare's \"Hamlet\" throughout Europe, produced by and starring Breen in the titular role. This tour famously culminated in a performance at Elsinore Castle in Denmark - the actual setting of the play. Perhaps ANTA's, as well as Breen's, greatest success came with the international tour of George Gershwin's \"Porgy and Bess\" (produced with Blevins Davis), which toured from 1952-1956, visiting 89 cities and 29 countries. The opera's performance in the Soviet Union was considered the first cultural exchange post-World War II between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. ANTA also sponsored the American National Ballet Theatre's tour of Europe in 1950, performing in eighteen cities and eight countries. The tour lasted from August to December of 1950 and played to an audience of over 150,000, and was the first international tour of any American ballet company."," ANTA also produced a number of Broadway plays and musicals out of the formerly named Guild Hall Theatre, renamed the ANTA Theatre in the 1960s and 1970s. ANTA West, which grew out of the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of ANTA in 1957, promoted and facilitated the growth of theater in the Southern California region.","Part of the Robert and Wilva Breen papers was donated to The Ohio State University.","The Special Collections Research Center does not have the equipment necessary to play  obsolete audiovisual material found in the found in the Robert and Wilva Breen papers.

Originating in 1935 with a charter from the U.S. Congress, ANTA continued until 1966 when the National Endowment for the Arts came into being. ANTA was responsible for both the presentation of American theater in the U.S. and abroad."," Although officially formed in 1935, ANTA did not begin actual operation until 1946 due to a variety of factors, including the Great Depression and World War II. During the depression, federal funding was funnelled towards the Works Progress Administration's Federal Theatre Project, another national performing arts program. In addition to these setbacks, the ANTA board, comprised of prominent citizens and business leaders from outside the theater community, could not agree on the goals of ANTA. Eventually, Robert Breen and Robert Porterfield, two men with Army and theater backgrounds, took the reins of ANTA and initiated its revitalization. Porterfield and Breen developed ANTA's \"Foundation Plan,\" with the intention of having ANTA become the foundation for and driving force behind the stimulation of growth of American theater. The plan, successfully undertaken by Breen, Porterfield, and Breen's wife Wilva Davis Breen, called for a National Foundation to make loans and grants, insure theater projects against loss, as well as a National Service Bureau to provide technical assistance for acting companies, as well as a national clearing house for theater information. The plan was adopted by the ANTA Board in 1946."," Under the guidance of Breen, ANTA produced several projects in the U.S. with successful results during the postwar years. From 1946 - 1948, ANTA sponsored a series of plays called the Experimental Theatre. Its goal was to \"present new, interesting plays which would not see production on Broadway due to present high costs.\" Admittedly, the plays were \"not necessarily perfect\" but \"worthy of a trial production in a simplified fashion\" according to an ANTA letter offering subscription to the series, which included high profile playwrights and actors. During the late 1940s and early 1950s ANTA sponsored a number of drama festivals across the U.S., featuring well-known actors. ANTA also featured a televised production of short plays for NBC television. With the intention of promoting theater growth in the U.S. and showcasing new talent, ANTA produced, supported, and promoted theater projects all across the United States."," Internationally, ANTA promoted artistic exchange between the U.S. and Europe, and entertained American troops there. This was initiated with a 1949 tour of William Shakespeare's \"Hamlet\" throughout Europe, produced by and starring Breen in the titular role. This tour famously culminated in a performance at Elsinore Castle in Denmark - the actual setting of the play. Perhaps ANTA's, as well as Breen's, greatest success came with the international tour of George Gershwin's \"Porgy and Bess\" (produced with Blevins Davis), which toured from 1952-1956, visiting 89 cities and 29 countries. The opera's performance in the Soviet Union was considered the first cultural exchange post-World War II between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. ANTA also sponsored the American National Ballet Theatre's tour of Europe in 1950, performing in eighteen cities and eight countries. The tour lasted from August to December of 1950 and played to an audience of over 150,000, and was the first international tour of any American ballet company."," ANTA also produced a number of Broadway plays and musicals out of the formerly named Guild Hall Theatre, renamed the ANTA Theatre in the 1960s and 1970s. ANTA West, which grew out of the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of ANTA in 1957, promoted and facilitated the growth of theater in the Southern California region."],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePart of the Robert and Wilva Breen papers was donated to The Ohio State University.\u003c/p\u003e"],"custodhist_heading_ssm":["Custodial History"],"custodhist_tesim":["Part of the Robert and Wilva Breen papers was donated to The Ohio State University."],"phystech_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Special Collections Research Center does not have the equipment necessary to play  obsolete audiovisual material found in the found in the Robert and Wilva Breen papers.

(accessed December 12, 2018).","Robert Breen, born December 26, 1909 in Hibbing, Minnesota, served as the Executive Secretary of the American National Theatre and Academy (ANTA) from 1946-1952, and was instrumental in much of the organization's success, both domestically and internationally. In addition to serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps, Breen had an extensive background in theater. Prior to joining ANTA, Breen founded a theater program at the College of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota, as well as established the Chicago unit for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Theatre Project with his wife, Wilva Davis Breen. Wilva herself was instrumental in promoting and guiding ANTA's many and varied operations, and getting the organization off the ground. The Breens' apartment home - situated above the Hudson Theatre in New York City, NY - served as ANTA's early headquarters. Davis Breen served as Breen's constant support and collaborator until he passed away on March 31, 1990."," The American National Theatre and Academy (ANTA) was the United States' first national theater and dance organization, in the tradition of European national theaters. Originating in 1935 with a charter from the U.S. Congress, ANTA continued until 1966 when the National Endowment for the Arts came into being. ANTA was responsible for both the presentation of American theater in the U.S. and abroad."," Although officially formed in 1935, ANTA did not begin actual operation until 1946 due to a variety of factors, including the Great Depression and World War II. During the depression, federal funding was funnelled towards the Works Progress Administration's Federal Theatre Project, another national performing arts program. In addition to these setbacks, the ANTA board, comprised of prominent citizens and business leaders from outside the theater community, could not agree on the goals of ANTA. Eventually, Robert Breen and Robert Porterfield, two men with Army and theater backgrounds, took the reins of ANTA and initiated its revitalization. Porterfield and Breen developed ANTA's \"Foundation Plan,\" with the intention of having ANTA become the foundation for and driving force behind the stimulation of growth of American theater. The plan, successfully undertaken by Breen, Porterfield, and Breen's wife Wilva Davis Breen, called for a National Foundation to make loans and grants, insure theater projects against loss, as well as a National Service Bureau to provide technical assistance for acting companies, as well as a national clearing house for theater information. The plan was adopted by the ANTA Board in 1946."," Under the guidance of Breen, ANTA produced several projects in the U.S. with successful results during the postwar years. From 1946 - 1948, ANTA sponsored a series of plays called the Experimental Theatre. Its goal was to \"present new, interesting plays which would not see production on Broadway due to present high costs.\" Admittedly, the plays were \"not necessarily perfect\" but \"worthy of a trial production in a simplified fashion\" according to an ANTA letter offering subscription to the series, which included high profile playwrights and actors. During the late 1940s and early 1950s ANTA sponsored a number of drama festivals across the U.S., featuring well-known actors. ANTA also featured a televised production of short plays for NBC television. With the intention of promoting theater growth in the U.S. and showcasing new talent, ANTA produced, supported, and promoted theater projects all across the United States."," Internationally, ANTA promoted artistic exchange between the U.S. and Europe, and entertained American troops there. This was initiated with a 1949 tour of William Shakespeare's \"Hamlet\" throughout Europe, produced by and starring Breen in the titular role. This tour famously culminated in a performance at Elsinore Castle in Denmark - the actual setting of the play. Perhaps ANTA's, as well as Breen's, greatest success came with the international tour of George Gershwin's \"Porgy and Bess\" (produced with Blevins Davis), which toured from 1952-1956, visiting 89 cities and 29 countries. The opera's performance in the Soviet Union was considered the first cultural exchange post-World War II between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.

In addition to serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps, Breen had an extensive background in theater. Prior to joining ANTA, Breen founded a theater program at the College of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota, as well as established the Chicago unit for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Theatre Project with his wife, Wilva Davis Breen. Wilva herself was instrumental in promoting and guiding ANTA's many and varied operations, and getting the organization off the ground.

In addition to these setbacks, the ANTA board, comprised of prominent citizens and business leaders from outside the theater community, could not agree on the goals of ANTA. Eventually, Robert Breen and Robert Porterfield, two men with Army and theater backgrounds, took the reins of ANTA and initiated its revitalization. Porterfield and Breen developed ANTA's \"Foundation Plan,\" with the intention of having ANTA become the foundation for and driving force behind the stimulation of growth of American theater. The plan, successfully undertaken by Breen, Porterfield, and Breen's wife Wilva Davis Breen, called for a National Foundation to make loans and grants, insure theater projects against loss, as well as a National Service Bureau to provide technical assistance for acting companies, as well as a national clearing house for theater information.

Its goal was to \"present new, interesting plays which would not see production on Broadway due to present high costs.\" Admittedly, the plays were \"not necessarily perfect\" but \"worthy of a trial production in a simplified fashion\" according to an ANTA letter offering subscription to the series, which included high profile playwrights and actors. During the late 1940s and early 1950s ANTA sponsored a number of drama festivals across the U.S., featuring well-known actors.

This tour famously culminated in a performance at Elsinore Castle in Denmark - the actual setting of the play. Perhaps ANTA's, as well as Breen's, greatest success came with the international tour of George Gershwin's \"Porgy and Bess\" (produced with Blevins Davis), which toured from 1952-1956, visiting 89 cities and 29 countries.

Lewis demanded a pension and medical care program for American coal miners.  The collective bargaining agreement of the same year between the Union and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug established two trust funds, one for welfare and retirement payments and another for medical care benefits.  Krug signed the agreement on behalf of the industry because the U.S government had seized the country's coal mines during the miners' 1946 strike.","The original names for the pension and medical care plan was the Welfare and Retirement Fund.  Coal companies paid money to the Fund according to a royalty per ton of coal mined.  The royalty rose gradually from five cents per ton in 1946 to eighty-two cents per ton in 1974.  The first welfare and medical checks reached beneficiaries in 1947, but a dispute between the union and the coal industry held up the first pension check to a retired miner until 1948.","From 1946 until 1971, there was a close relationship between the UMWA and the Fund.  There were three members of the Fund Board of Trustees, one each for the union and the industry and one \"neutral\" trustee.  John L Lewis held the Union's trusteeship from 1946 until his death in 1969, while his close associate and director of the Fund, Josephine Roche, was the neutral trustee from 1950 to 1971.  UMWA President W.A. \"Tony\" Boyle served as the Union's trustee from 1969 to 1971.  Collective bargaining agreements between the Union and the coal industry established the royalty payments to the Fund.  But the collaboration between Lewis and Roche, and later Boyle and Roche, placed policy-making decisions in the Union's hands and indirectly led to the abuses and mismanagement of the Funds that were made public in the late 1960s.","The 1946 Kruger-Lewis agreement called for an investigation of coal miners' health and medical treatment, sanitation, and housing in the coal fields.  This study took place in 1946-47 under the direction of Rear Admiral Joel T. Boone, Navy Medical Corps.  Boone's report, \"Medical Survey of the Bituminous Coal Industry,\" revealed inadequate health facilities, lack of qualified physicians, and poor housing and sanitation in many parts of the coal fields.  Accordingly, in 1948 Warren F. Draper became the Fund's executive medical officer in charge of ten Area Medical Offices covering mining districts.  These offices arranged for the delivery of medical care to eligible coal miners by doctors in the coal fields.","The host of difficulties with the Fund's health care program from 1948 to 1951 led to a decision to build and staff ten hospitals in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia.  These Miners Memorial Hospitals opened their doors in 1955 and 1956, offering modern facilities and equipment and well-trained medical staff to the Fund's beneficiaries.  Due to the gradual decline of the coal industry during the 1950s and 1960s and to the corresponding decrease in the number of beneficiaries for medical care programs, the Fund decided in 1963 to transfer the hospitals to the Appalachian Regional Hospitals, Inc., a non-profit corporation established by the Board of National Missions of the United Presbyterian Church.","The problem which led to the transfer of the hospitals also affected the other parts of the Fund's programs.  The Board of Trustees changed eligibility requirements for pensions in 1953 and 1960, responding to declining payments form the royalty on coal tonnage.  These changes reduced the number of retired miners who qualified for pensions.  A revision in the health care program in 1962 denied benefits to miners whose employers were delinquent in making payments to the Fund.  These changes in the Fund's programs, coupled with the Board of Trustees' investment decisions for Fund financial reserves, stirred much resentment among coal miners.  Their criticism of the Fund escalated in step with their dissatisfaction with the UMWA leadership in the late 1960s.","Friction between rank and file coal miners, the UMWA, and the Fund produced the 1969  Blankenship vs. Boyle  class action lawsuit.  On behalf of 17,000 miners who had been denied benefits by the Fund, this suit alleged that Fund finances had been mismanaged and that pension eligibility requirements were arbitrary and capricious.  The presiding judge's decision in 1971 found in favor of the plaintiffs and began a series of important changes for the Fund, including the removal of trustees and the director, diverting Fund monies to new bank accounts and investments, and implementing new pension application procedures. As a result of the eligibility portion of the judge's decision, thousands of miners previously denied pensions began to receive them.","The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) archives consists of the records of the first industry-wide pension and medical care plans for coal miners and their families in the United States.  The archives comprise approximately 156 linear feet of records from the years 1946-1974, and include minutes, resolutions, correspondence, memos, reports, transcribed speeches, lawsuit documents, construction plans, contracts, statistical reports, newspaper clippings, photographs, microfilmed reading files, sound recordings, and movie film.","Letters, memos, and reports in the archives document the relationship between the UMWA and the Health and Retirement Funds.  There are correspondence files for John L. Lewis, Josephine Roche, W.A. (Tony) Boyle, and\nother members of the Funds' Board of Trustees, 1946-1974. There are also newspaper clippings, letters, and lawsuit documents concerning the 1969 UMWA election, the  Blankenship vs. Boyle  class action lawsuit, and the U.S. Senate investigation of the Funds.  ","The archives also include extensive records on the creation and implementation of hospitalization and medical care policies.  There are letters, memos, reports, minutes, and agenda of professional health care meetings, speeches and addresses concerning the administration of health care delivery in the coal fields, the hiring and retention of physicians and other medical personnel, and the provision of various types of medical care, from routine examinations to vocational rehabilitation for the victims of mining accidents.  ","The archives include a variety of documents on the building, dedication, and administration of the Miners Memorial Hospitals in Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky.  There are volumes of minutes, resolutions, and exhibits from meetings of the Miners Memorial Hospital Associations of Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky, from 1951-1964.  There are also construction plans, contracts, photographs, sound recordings, and movie film of groundbreaking and dedication ceremonies, as well as extensive documentation on the implementation of medical care programs through the hospitals. Additional letters, memos, reports, contracts, and printed material concern the transfer of the Miners Memorial Hospitals from the Funds to the Appalachian Regional Hospitals, incorporated in 1963.","The archives' medical care records also include material on the dispute between the Funds' medical professionals and the American Medical Association (AMA) concerning the issue of free choice of physicians  There are letters,\ntranscribed hearings of local medical associations, sound recordings of Kentucky legislative hearings, and printed material revealing the policies of both the Funds and the AMA and the cases of individual physicians employed or retained by the Funds whom the AMA barred from membership.  ","There is voluminous correspondence among the Funds' trustees, officers, administrators, and beneficiaries concerning the eligibility requirements for pensions, funeral expense payments, disability payments, widow's\nmaintenance payments, and hospitalization and health care.  These letters, appearing in large groups throughout the archives, reveal the changes in the Funds eligibility and benefit requirements and the attitudes of coal miners and their dependents to the establishment of the pension and medical care programs and the revision of these programs from the late 1940s to the early 1970s.","There are also multiple addenda to the main collection and a set of ledgers, certificates, and other material. These addenda contain wage agreements, correspondence between area medical offices and others, court papers, correspondence regarding the retention of medical services at various facilities, annual reports, and other material.","This series consists of correspondence, benefit and trust plans, contracts, and court orders and opinions.

Lewis demanded a pension and medical care program for American coal miners.  The collective bargaining agreement of the same year between the Union and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug established two trust funds, one for welfare and retirement payments and another for medical care benefits.  Krug signed the agreement on behalf of the industry because the U.S government had seized the country's coal mines during the miners' 1946 strike.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe original names for the pension and medical care plan was the Welfare and Retirement Fund.  Coal companies paid money to the Fund according to a royalty per ton of coal mined.  The royalty rose gradually from five cents per ton in 1946 to eighty-two cents per ton in 1974.  The first welfare and medical checks reached beneficiaries in 1947, but a dispute between the union and the coal industry held up the first pension check to a retired miner until 1948.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eFrom 1946 until 1971, there was a close relationship between the UMWA and the Fund.  There were three members of the Fund Board of Trustees, one each for the union and the industry and one \"neutral\" trustee.  John L Lewis held the Union's trusteeship from 1946 until his death in 1969, while his close associate and director of the Fund, Josephine Roche, was the neutral trustee from 1950 to 1971.  UMWA President W.A. \"Tony\" Boyle served as the Union's trustee from 1969 to 1971.  Collective bargaining agreements between the Union and the coal industry established the royalty payments to the Fund.  But the collaboration between Lewis and Roche, and later Boyle and Roche, placed policy-making decisions in the Union's hands and indirectly led to the abuses and mismanagement of the Funds that were made public in the late 1960s.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe 1946 Kruger-Lewis agreement called for an investigation of coal miners' health and medical treatment, sanitation, and housing in the coal fields.  This study took place in 1946-47 under the direction of Rear Admiral Joel T. Boone, Navy Medical Corps.  Boone's report, \"Medical Survey of the Bituminous Coal Industry,\" revealed inadequate health facilities, lack of qualified physicians, and poor housing and sanitation in many parts of the coal fields.  Accordingly, in 1948 Warren F. Draper became the Fund's executive medical officer in charge of ten Area Medical Offices covering mining districts.  These offices arranged for the delivery of medical care to eligible coal miners by doctors in the coal fields.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe host of difficulties with the Fund's health care program from 1948 to 1951 led to a decision to build and staff ten hospitals in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia.  These Miners Memorial Hospitals opened their doors in 1955 and 1956, offering modern facilities and equipment and well-trained medical staff to the Fund's beneficiaries.  Due to the gradual decline of the coal industry during the 1950s and 1960s and to the corresponding decrease in the number of beneficiaries for medical care programs, the Fund decided in 1963 to transfer the hospitals to the Appalachian Regional Hospitals, Inc., a non-profit corporation established by the Board of National Missions of the United Presbyterian Church.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe problem which led to the transfer of the hospitals also affected the other parts of the Fund's programs.  The Board of Trustees changed eligibility requirements for pensions in 1953 and 1960, responding to declining payments form the royalty on coal tonnage.

Lewis demanded a pension and medical care program for American coal miners.  The collective bargaining agreement of the same year between the Union and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug established two trust funds, one for welfare and retirement payments and another for medical care benefits.  Krug signed the agreement on behalf of the industry because the U.S government had seized the country's coal mines during the miners' 1946 strike.","The original names for the pension and medical care plan was the Welfare and Retirement Fund.  Coal companies paid money to the Fund according to a royalty per ton of coal mined.  The royalty rose gradually from five cents per ton in 1946 to eighty-two cents per ton in 1974.  The first welfare and medical checks reached beneficiaries in 1947, but a dispute between the union and the coal industry held up the first pension check to a retired miner until 1948.","From 1946 until 1971, there was a close relationship between the UMWA and the Fund.  There were three members of the Fund Board of Trustees, one each for the union and the industry and one \"neutral\" trustee.  John L Lewis held the Union's trusteeship from 1946 until his death in 1969, while his close associate and director of the Fund, Josephine Roche, was the neutral trustee from 1950 to 1971.  UMWA President W.A. \"Tony\" Boyle served as the Union's trustee from 1969 to 1971.  Collective bargaining agreements between the Union and the coal industry established the royalty payments to the Fund.  But the collaboration between Lewis and Roche, and later Boyle and Roche, placed policy-making decisions in the Union's hands and indirectly led to the abuses and mismanagement of the Funds that were made public in the late 1960s.","The 1946 Kruger-Lewis agreement called for an investigation of coal miners' health and medical treatment, sanitation, and housing in the coal fields.  This study took place in 1946-47 under the direction of Rear Admiral Joel T. Boone, Navy Medical Corps.  Boone's report, \"Medical Survey of the Bituminous Coal Industry,\" revealed inadequate health facilities, lack of qualified physicians, and poor housing and sanitation in many parts of the coal fields.  Accordingly, in 1948 Warren F. Draper became the Fund's executive medical officer in charge of ten Area Medical Offices covering mining districts.  These offices arranged for the delivery of medical care to eligible coal miners by doctors in the coal fields.","The host of difficulties with the Fund's health care program from 1948 to 1951 led to a decision to build and staff ten hospitals in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia.  These Miners Memorial Hospitals opened their doors in 1955 and 1956, offering modern facilities and equipment and well-trained medical staff to the Fund's beneficiaries.  Due to the gradual decline of the coal industry during the 1950s and 1960s and to the corresponding decrease in the number of beneficiaries for medical care programs, the Fund decided in 1963 to transfer the hospitals to the Appalachian Regional Hospitals, Inc., a non-profit corporation established by the Board of National Missions of the United Presbyterian Church.","The problem which led to the transfer of the hospitals also affected the other parts of the Fund's programs.  The Board of Trustees changed eligibility requirements for pensions in 1953 and 1960, responding to declining payments form the royalty on coal tonnage.  These changes reduced the number of retired miners who qualified for pensions.  A revision in the health care program in 1962 denied benefits to miners whose employers were delinquent in making payments to the Fund.  These changes in the Fund's programs, coupled with the Board of Trustees' investment decisions for Fund financial reserves, stirred much resentment among coal miners.  Their criticism of the Fund escalated in step with their dissatisfaction with the UMWA leadership in the late 1960s.","Friction between rank and file coal miners, the UMWA, and the Fund produced the 1969  Blankenship vs. Boyle  class action lawsuit.  On behalf of 17,000 miners who had been denied benefits by the Fund, this suit alleged that Fund finances had been mismanaged and that pension eligibility requirements were arbitrary and capricious.  The presiding judge's decision in 1971 found in favor of the plaintiffs and began a series of important changes for the Fund, including the removal of trustees and the director, diverting Fund monies to new bank accounts and investments, and implementing new pension application procedures.

Lewis demanded a pension and medical care program for American coal miners.  The collective bargaining agreement of the same year between the Union and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug established two trust funds, one for welfare and retirement payments and another for medical care benefits.  Krug signed the agreement on behalf of the industry because the U.S government had seized the country's coal mines during the miners' 1946 strike.","The original names for the pension and medical care plan was the Welfare and Retirement Fund.  Coal companies paid money to the Fund according to a royalty per ton of coal mined.  The royalty rose gradually from five cents per ton in 1946 to eighty-two cents per ton in 1974.  The first welfare and medical checks reached beneficiaries in 1947, but a dispute between the union and the coal industry held up the first pension check to a retired miner until 1948.","From 1946 until 1971, there was a close relationship between the UMWA and the Fund.  There were three members of the Fund Board of Trustees, one each for the union and the industry and one \"neutral\" trustee.  John L Lewis held the Union's trusteeship from 1946 until his death in 1969, while his close associate and director of the Fund, Josephine Roche, was the neutral trustee from 1950 to 1971.  UMWA President W.A. \"Tony\" Boyle served as the Union's trustee from 1969 to 1971.  Collective bargaining agreements between the Union and the coal industry established the royalty payments to the Fund.  But the collaboration between Lewis and Roche, and later Boyle and Roche, placed policy-making decisions in the Union's hands and indirectly led to the abuses and mismanagement of the Funds that were made public in the late 1960s.","The 1946 Kruger-Lewis agreement called for an investigation of coal miners' health and medical treatment, sanitation, and housing in the coal fields.  This study took place in 1946-47 under the direction of Rear Admiral Joel T. Boone, Navy Medical Corps.  Boone's report, \"Medical Survey of the Bituminous Coal Industry,\" revealed inadequate health facilities, lack of qualified physicians, and poor housing and sanitation in many parts of the coal fields.  Accordingly, in 1948 Warren F. Draper became the Fund's executive medical officer in charge of ten Area Medical Offices covering mining districts.  These offices arranged for the delivery of medical care to eligible coal miners by doctors in the coal fields.","The host of difficulties with the Fund's health care program from 1948 to 1951 led to a decision to build and staff ten hospitals in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia.  These Miners Memorial Hospitals opened their doors in 1955 and 1956, offering modern facilities and equipment and well-trained medical staff to the Fund's beneficiaries.  Due to the gradual decline of the coal industry during the 1950s and 1960s and to the corresponding decrease in the number of beneficiaries for medical care programs, the Fund decided in 1963 to transfer the hospitals to the Appalachian Regional Hospitals, Inc., a non-profit corporation established by the Board of National Missions of the United Presbyterian Church.","The problem which led to the transfer of the hospitals also affected the other parts of the Fund's programs.  The Board of Trustees changed eligibility requirements for pensions in 1953 and 1960, responding to declining payments form the royalty on coal tonnage.  These changes reduced the number of retired miners who qualified for pensions.  A revision in the health care program in 1962 denied benefits to miners whose employers were delinquent in making payments to the Fund.  These changes in the Fund's programs, coupled with the Board of Trustees' investment decisions for Fund financial reserves, stirred much resentment among coal miners.  Their criticism of the Fund escalated in step with their dissatisfaction with the UMWA leadership in the late 1960s.","Friction between rank and file coal miners, the UMWA, and the Fund produced the 1969  Blankenship vs. Boyle  class action lawsuit.  On behalf of 17,000 miners who had been denied benefits by the Fund, this suit alleged that Fund finances had been mismanaged and that pension eligibility requirements were arbitrary and capricious.  The presiding judge's decision in 1971 found in favor of the plaintiffs and began a series of important changes for the Fund, including the removal of trustees and the director, diverting Fund monies to new bank accounts and investments, and implementing new pension application procedures. As a result of the eligibility portion of the judge's decision, thousands of miners previously denied pensions began to receive them.","The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) archives consists of the records of the first industry-wide pension and medical care plans for coal miners and their families in the United States.  The archives comprise approximately 156 linear feet of records from the years 1946-1974, and include minutes, resolutions, correspondence, memos, reports, transcribed speeches, lawsuit documents, construction plans, contracts, statistical reports, newspaper clippings, photographs, microfilmed reading files, sound recordings, and movie film.","Letters, memos, and reports in the archives document the relationship between the UMWA and the Health and Retirement Funds.  There are correspondence files for John L. Lewis, Josephine Roche, W.A. (Tony) Boyle, and\nother members of the Funds' Board of Trustees, 1946-1974. There are also newspaper clippings, letters, and lawsuit documents concerning the 1969 UMWA election, the  Blankenship vs. Boyle  class action lawsuit, and the U.S. Senate investigation of the Funds.  ","The archives also include extensive records on the creation and implementation of hospitalization and medical care policies.  There are letters, memos, reports, minutes, and agenda of professional health care meetings, speeches and addresses concerning the administration of health care delivery in the coal fields, the hiring and retention of physicians and other medical personnel, and the provision of various types of medical care, from routine examinations to vocational rehabilitation for the victims of mining accidents.  ","The archives include a variety of documents on the building, dedication, and administration of the Miners Memorial Hospitals in Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky.  There are volumes of minutes, resolutions, and exhibits from meetings of the Miners Memorial Hospital Associations of Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky, from 1951-1964.  There are also construction plans, contracts, photographs, sound recordings, and movie film of groundbreaking and dedication ceremonies, as well as extensive documentation on the implementation of medical care programs through the hospitals. Additional letters, memos, reports, contracts, and printed material concern the transfer of the Miners Memorial Hospitals from the Funds to the Appalachian Regional Hospitals, incorporated in 1963.","The archives' medical care records also include material on the dispute between the Funds' medical professionals and the American Medical Association (AMA) concerning the issue of free choice of physicians  There are letters,\ntranscribed hearings of local medical associations, sound recordings of Kentucky legislative hearings, and printed material revealing the policies of both the Funds and the AMA and the cases of individual physicians employed or retained by the Funds whom the AMA barred from membership.  ","There is voluminous correspondence among the Funds' trustees, officers, administrators, and beneficiaries concerning the eligibility requirements for pensions, funeral expense payments, disability payments, widow's\nmaintenance payments, and hospitalization and health care.  These letters, appearing in large groups throughout the archives, reveal the changes in the Funds eligibility and benefit requirements and the attitudes of coal miners and their dependents to the establishment of the pension and medical care programs and the revision of these programs from the late 1940s to the early 1970s.","There are also multiple addenda to the main collection and a set of ledgers, certificates, and other material.

Lewis demanded a pension and medical care program for American coal miners.  The collective bargaining agreement of the same year between the Union and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug established two trust funds, one for welfare and retirement payments and another for medical care benefits.  Krug signed the agreement on behalf of the industry because the U.S government had seized the country's coal mines during the miners' 1946 strike.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe original names for the pension and medical care plan was the Welfare and Retirement Fund.  Coal companies paid money to the Fund according to a royalty per ton of coal mined.  The royalty rose gradually from five cents per ton in 1946 to eighty-two cents per ton in 1974.  The first welfare and medical checks reached beneficiaries in 1947, but a dispute between the union and the coal industry held up the first pension check to a retired miner until 1948.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eFrom 1946 until 1971, there was a close relationship between the UMWA and the Fund.  There were three members of the Fund Board of Trustees, one each for the union and the industry and one \"neutral\" trustee.  John L Lewis held the Union's trusteeship from 1946 until his death in 1969, while his close associate and director of the Fund, Josephine Roche, was the neutral trustee from 1950 to 1971.  UMWA President W.A. \"Tony\" Boyle served as the Union's trustee from 1969 to 1971.  Collective bargaining agreements between the Union and the coal industry established the royalty payments to the Fund.  But the collaboration between Lewis and Roche, and later Boyle and Roche, placed policy-making decisions in the Union's hands and indirectly led to the abuses and mismanagement of the Funds that were made public in the late 1960s.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe 1946 Kruger-Lewis agreement called for an investigation of coal miners' health and medical treatment, sanitation, and housing in the coal fields.  This study took place in 1946-47 under the direction of Rear Admiral Joel T. Boone, Navy Medical Corps.  Boone's report, \"Medical Survey of the Bituminous Coal Industry,\" revealed inadequate health facilities, lack of qualified physicians, and poor housing and sanitation in many parts of the coal fields.  Accordingly, in 1948 Warren F. Draper became the Fund's executive medical officer in charge of ten Area Medical Offices covering mining districts.  These offices arranged for the delivery of medical care to eligible coal miners by doctors in the coal fields.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe host of difficulties with the Fund's health care program from 1948 to 1951 led to a decision to build and staff ten hospitals in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia.  These Miners Memorial Hospitals opened their doors in 1955 and 1956, offering modern facilities and equipment and well-trained medical staff to the Fund's beneficiaries.  Due to the gradual decline of the coal industry during the 1950s and 1960s and to the corresponding decrease in the number of beneficiaries for medical care programs, the Fund decided in 1963 to transfer the hospitals to the Appalachian Regional Hospitals, Inc., a non-profit corporation established by the Board of National Missions of the United Presbyterian Church.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe problem which led to the transfer of the hospitals also affected the other parts of the Fund's programs.  The Board of Trustees changed eligibility requirements for pensions in 1953 and 1960, responding to declining payments form the royalty on coal tonnage.  These changes reduced the number of retired miners who qualified for pensions.  A revision in the health care program in 1962 denied benefits to miners whose employers were delinquent in making payments to the Fund.  These changes in the Fund's programs, coupled with the Board of Trustees' investment decisions for Fund financial reserves, stirred much resentment among coal miners.  Their criticism of the Fund escalated in step with their dissatisfaction with the UMWA leadership in the late 1960s.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eFriction between rank and file coal miners, the UMWA, and the Fund produced the 1969 \u003ctitle\u003eBlankenship vs. Boyle\u003c/title\u003e class action lawsuit.  On behalf of 17,000 miners who had been denied benefits by the Fund, this suit alleged that Fund finances had been mismanaged and that pension eligibility requirements were arbitrary and capricious.  The presiding judge's decision in 1971 found in favor of the plaintiffs and began a series of important changes for the Fund, including the removal of trustees and the director, diverting Fund monies to new bank accounts and investments, and implementing new pension application procedures. As a result of the eligibility portion of the judge's decision, thousands of miners previously denied pensions began to receive them.\u003c/p\u003e"],"bioghist_heading_ssm":["Biographical / Historical"],"bioghist_tesim":["In 1946, the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) President John L.

These changes in the Fund's programs, coupled with the Board of Trustees' investment decisions for Fund financial reserves, stirred much resentment among coal miners.  Their criticism of the Fund escalated in step with their dissatisfaction with the UMWA leadership in the late 1960s.","Friction between rank and file coal miners, the UMWA, and the Fund produced the 1969  Blankenship vs. Boyle  class action lawsuit.  On behalf of 17,000 miners who had been denied benefits by the Fund, this suit alleged that Fund finances had been mismanaged and that pension eligibility requirements were arbitrary and capricious.  The presiding judge's decision in 1971 found in favor of the plaintiffs and began a series of important changes for the Fund, including the removal of trustees and the director, diverting Fund monies to new bank accounts and investments, and implementing new pension application procedures. As a result of the eligibility portion of the judge's decision, thousands of miners previously denied pensions began to receive them."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Description and date of item], [Box/folder number], United Mine Workers of America, Health and Retirement Funds, Records, A\u0026amp;M 2769, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["[Description and date of item], [Box/folder number], United Mine Workers of America, Health and Retirement Funds, Records, A\u0026M 2769, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) archives consists of the records of the first industry-wide pension and medical care plans for coal miners and their families in the United States.

Lewis demanded a pension and medical care program for American coal miners.  The collective bargaining agreement of the same year between the Union and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug established two trust funds, one for welfare and retirement payments and another for medical care benefits.  Krug signed the agreement on behalf of the industry because the U.S government had seized the country's coal mines during the miners' 1946 strike.","The original names for the pension and medical care plan was the Welfare and Retirement Fund.  Coal companies paid money to the Fund according to a royalty per ton of coal mined.  The royalty rose gradually from five cents per ton in 1946 to eighty-two cents per ton in 1974.  The first welfare and medical checks reached beneficiaries in 1947, but a dispute between the union and the coal industry held up the first pension check to a retired miner until 1948.","From 1946 until 1971, there was a close relationship between the UMWA and the Fund.  There were three members of the Fund Board of Trustees, one each for the union and the industry and one \"neutral\" trustee.  John L Lewis held the Union's trusteeship from 1946 until his death in 1969, while his close associate and director of the Fund, Josephine Roche, was the neutral trustee from 1950 to 1971.  UMWA President W.A. \"Tony\" Boyle served as the Union's trustee from 1969 to 1971.  Collective bargaining agreements between the Union and the coal industry established the royalty payments to the Fund.  But the collaboration between Lewis and Roche, and later Boyle and Roche, placed policy-making decisions in the Union's hands and indirectly led to the abuses and mismanagement of the Funds that were made public in the late 1960s.","The 1946 Kruger-Lewis agreement called for an investigation of coal miners' health and medical treatment, sanitation, and housing in the coal fields.  This study took place in 1946-47 under the direction of Rear Admiral Joel T. Boone, Navy Medical Corps.  Boone's report, \"Medical Survey of the Bituminous Coal Industry,\" revealed inadequate health facilities, lack of qualified physicians, and poor housing and sanitation in many parts of the coal fields.  Accordingly, in 1948 Warren F. Draper became the Fund's executive medical officer in charge of ten Area Medical Offices covering mining districts.  These offices arranged for the delivery of medical care to eligible coal miners by doctors in the coal fields.","The host of difficulties with the Fund's health care program from 1948 to 1951 led to a decision to build and staff ten hospitals in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia.  These Miners Memorial Hospitals opened their doors in 1955 and 1956, offering modern facilities and equipment and well-trained medical staff to the Fund's beneficiaries.  Due to the gradual decline of the coal industry during the 1950s and 1960s and to the corresponding decrease in the number of beneficiaries for medical care programs, the Fund decided in 1963 to transfer the hospitals to the Appalachian Regional Hospitals, Inc., a non-profit corporation established by the Board of National Missions of the United Presbyterian Church.","The problem which led to the transfer of the hospitals also affected the other parts of the Fund's programs.  The Board of Trustees changed eligibility requirements for pensions in 1953 and 1960, responding to declining payments form the royalty on coal tonnage.  These changes reduced the number of retired miners who qualified for pensions.  A revision in the health care program in 1962 denied benefits to miners whose employers were delinquent in making payments to the Fund.  These changes in the Fund's programs, coupled with the Board of Trustees' investment decisions for Fund financial reserves, stirred much resentment among coal miners.  Their criticism of the Fund escalated in step with their dissatisfaction with the UMWA leadership in the late 1960s.","Friction between rank and file coal miners, the UMWA, and the Fund produced the 1969  Blankenship vs. Boyle  class action lawsuit.  On behalf of 17,000 miners who had been denied benefits by the Fund, this suit alleged that Fund finances had been mismanaged and that pension eligibility requirements were arbitrary and capricious.  The presiding judge's decision in 1971 found in favor of the plaintiffs and began a series of important changes for the Fund, including the removal of trustees and the director, diverting Fund monies to new bank accounts and investments, and implementing new pension application procedures. As a result of the eligibility portion of the judge's decision, thousands of miners previously denied pensions began to receive them.","The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) archives consists of the records of the first industry-wide pension and medical care plans for coal miners and their families in the United States.  The archives comprise approximately 156 linear feet of records from the years 1946-1974, and include minutes, resolutions, correspondence, memos, reports, transcribed speeches, lawsuit documents, construction plans, contracts, statistical reports, newspaper clippings, photographs, microfilmed reading files, sound recordings, and movie film.","Letters, memos, and reports in the archives document the relationship between the UMWA and the Health and Retirement Funds.  There are correspondence files for John L. Lewis, Josephine Roche, W.A. (Tony) Boyle, and\nother members of the Funds' Board of Trustees, 1946-1974. There are also newspaper clippings, letters, and lawsuit documents concerning the 1969 UMWA election, the  Blankenship vs. Boyle  class action lawsuit, and the U.S. Senate investigation of the Funds.  ","The archives also include extensive records on the creation and implementation of hospitalization and medical care policies.  There are letters, memos, reports, minutes, and agenda of professional health care meetings, speeches and addresses concerning the administration of health care delivery in the coal fields, the hiring and retention of physicians and other medical personnel, and the provision of various types of medical care, from routine examinations to vocational rehabilitation for the victims of mining accidents.  ","The archives include a variety of documents on the building, dedication, and administration of the Miners Memorial Hospitals in Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky.  There are volumes of minutes, resolutions, and exhibits from meetings of the Miners Memorial Hospital Associations of Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky, from 1951-1964.  There are also construction plans, contracts, photographs, sound recordings, and movie film of groundbreaking and dedication ceremonies, as well as extensive documentation on the implementation of medical care programs through the hospitals. Additional letters, memos, reports, contracts, and printed material concern the transfer of the Miners Memorial Hospitals from the Funds to the Appalachian Regional Hospitals, incorporated in 1963.","The archives' medical care records also include material on the dispute between the Funds' medical professionals and the American Medical Association (AMA) concerning the issue of free choice of physicians  There are letters,\ntranscribed hearings of local medical associations, sound recordings of Kentucky legislative hearings, and printed material revealing the policies of both the Funds and the AMA and the cases of individual physicians employed or retained by the Funds whom the AMA barred from membership.  ","There is voluminous correspondence among the Funds' trustees, officers, administrators, and beneficiaries concerning the eligibility requirements for pensions, funeral expense payments, disability payments, widow's\nmaintenance payments, and hospitalization and health care.  These letters, appearing in large groups throughout the archives, reveal the changes in the Funds eligibility and benefit requirements and the attitudes of coal miners and their dependents to the establishment of the pension and medical care programs and the revision of these programs from the late 1940s to the early 1970s.","There are also multiple addenda to the main collection and a set of ledgers, certificates, and other material. These addenda contain wage agreements, correspondence between area medical offices and others, court papers, correspondence regarding the retention of medical services at various facilities, annual reports, and other material.","This series consists of correspondence, benefit and trust plans, contracts, and court orders and opinions.

Lewis demanded a pension and medical care program for American coal miners.  The collective bargaining agreement of the same year between the Union and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug established two trust funds, one for welfare and retirement payments and another for medical care benefits.  Krug signed the agreement on behalf of the industry because the U.S government had seized the country's coal mines during the miners' 1946 strike.","The original names for the pension and medical care plan was the Welfare and Retirement Fund.  Coal companies paid money to the Fund according to a royalty per ton of coal mined.  The royalty rose gradually from five cents per ton in 1946 to eighty-two cents per ton in 1974.  The first welfare and medical checks reached beneficiaries in 1947, but a dispute between the union and the coal industry held up the first pension check to a retired miner until 1948.","From 1946 until 1971, there was a close relationship between the UMWA and the Fund.  There were three members of the Fund Board of Trustees, one each for the union and the industry and one \"neutral\" trustee.  John L Lewis held the Union's trusteeship from 1946 until his death in 1969, while his close associate and director of the Fund, Josephine Roche, was the neutral trustee from 1950 to 1971.  UMWA President W.A. \"Tony\" Boyle served as the Union's trustee from 1969 to 1971.  Collective bargaining agreements between the Union and the coal industry established the royalty payments to the Fund.  But the collaboration between Lewis and Roche, and later Boyle and Roche, placed policy-making decisions in the Union's hands and indirectly led to the abuses and mismanagement of the Funds that were made public in the late 1960s.","The 1946 Kruger-Lewis agreement called for an investigation of coal miners' health and medical treatment, sanitation, and housing in the coal fields.  This study took place in 1946-47 under the direction of Rear Admiral Joel T. Boone, Navy Medical Corps.  Boone's report, \"Medical Survey of the Bituminous Coal Industry,\" revealed inadequate health facilities, lack of qualified physicians, and poor housing and sanitation in many parts of the coal fields.  Accordingly, in 1948 Warren F. Draper became the Fund's executive medical officer in charge of ten Area Medical Offices covering mining districts.  These offices arranged for the delivery of medical care to eligible coal miners by doctors in the coal fields.","The host of difficulties with the Fund's health care program from 1948 to 1951 led to a decision to build and staff ten hospitals in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia.  These Miners Memorial Hospitals opened their doors in 1955 and 1956, offering modern facilities and equipment and well-trained medical staff to the Fund's beneficiaries.  Due to the gradual decline of the coal industry during the 1950s and 1960s and to the corresponding decrease in the number of beneficiaries for medical care programs, the Fund decided in 1963 to transfer the hospitals to the Appalachian Regional Hospitals, Inc., a non-profit corporation established by the Board of National Missions of the United Presbyterian Church.","The problem which led to the transfer of the hospitals also affected the other parts of the Fund's programs.  The Board of Trustees changed eligibility requirements for pensions in 1953 and 1960, responding to declining payments form the royalty on coal tonnage.  These changes reduced the number of retired miners who qualified for pensions.  A revision in the health care program in 1962 denied benefits to miners whose employers were delinquent in making payments to the Fund.  These changes in the Fund's programs, coupled with the Board of Trustees' investment decisions for Fund financial reserves, stirred much resentment among coal miners.  Their criticism of the Fund escalated in step with their dissatisfaction with the UMWA leadership in the late 1960s.","Friction between rank and file coal miners, the UMWA, and the Fund produced the 1969  Blankenship vs. Boyle  class action lawsuit.  On behalf of 17,000 miners who had been denied benefits by the Fund, this suit alleged that Fund finances had been mismanaged and that pension eligibility requirements were arbitrary and capricious.  The presiding judge's decision in 1971 found in favor of the plaintiffs and began a series of important changes for the Fund, including the removal of trustees and the director, diverting Fund monies to new bank accounts and investments, and implementing new pension application procedures. As a result of the eligibility portion of the judge's decision, thousands of miners previously denied pensions began to receive them.","The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) archives consists of the records of the first industry-wide pension and medical care plans for coal miners and their families in the United States.  The archives comprise approximately 156 linear feet of records from the years 1946-1974, and include minutes, resolutions, correspondence, memos, reports, transcribed speeches, lawsuit documents, construction plans, contracts, statistical reports, newspaper clippings, photographs, microfilmed reading files, sound recordings, and movie film.","Letters, memos, and reports in the archives document the relationship between the UMWA and the Health and Retirement Funds.  There are correspondence files for John L. Lewis, Josephine Roche, W.A. (Tony) Boyle, and\nother members of the Funds' Board of Trustees, 1946-1974. There are also newspaper clippings, letters, and lawsuit documents concerning the 1969 UMWA election, the  Blankenship vs. Boyle  class action lawsuit, and the U.S. Senate investigation of the Funds.  ","The archives also include extensive records on the creation and implementation of hospitalization and medical care policies.  There are letters, memos, reports, minutes, and agenda of professional health care meetings, speeches and addresses concerning the administration of health care delivery in the coal fields, the hiring and retention of physicians and other medical personnel, and the provision of various types of medical care, from routine examinations to vocational rehabilitation for the victims of mining accidents.  ","The archives include a variety of documents on the building, dedication, and administration of the Miners Memorial Hospitals in Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky.  There are volumes of minutes, resolutions, and exhibits from meetings of the Miners Memorial Hospital Associations of Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky, from 1951-1964.  There are also construction plans, contracts, photographs, sound recordings, and movie film of groundbreaking and dedication ceremonies, as well as extensive documentation on the implementation of medical care programs through the hospitals. Additional letters, memos, reports, contracts, and printed material concern the transfer of the Miners Memorial Hospitals from the Funds to the Appalachian Regional Hospitals, incorporated in 1963.","The archives' medical care records also include material on the dispute between the Funds' medical professionals and the American Medical Association (AMA) concerning the issue of free choice of physicians  There are letters,\ntranscribed hearings of local medical associations, sound recordings of Kentucky legislative hearings, and printed material revealing the policies of both the Funds and the AMA and the cases of individual physicians employed or retained by the Funds whom the AMA barred from membership.  ","There is voluminous correspondence among the Funds' trustees, officers, administrators, and beneficiaries concerning the eligibility requirements for pensions, funeral expense payments, disability payments, widow's\nmaintenance payments, and hospitalization and health care.  These letters, appearing in large groups throughout the archives, reveal the changes in the Funds eligibility and benefit requirements and the attitudes of coal miners and their dependents to the establishment of the pension and medical care programs and the revision of these programs from the late 1940s to the early 1970s.","There are also multiple addenda to the main collection and a set of ledgers, certificates, and other material. These addenda contain wage agreements, correspondence between area medical offices and others, court papers, correspondence regarding the retention of medical services at various facilities, annual reports, and other material.","This series consists of correspondence, benefit and trust plans, contracts, and court orders and opinions.
