Catoctin Farmers' Club Records 1868-1983

The collection contains 12 volumes of minutes from 1868 to 1943 (volume 8, 1907-1914, is missing) and unbound minutes from 1944-1983. Minutes are incomplete. Inserted materials include copies of minutes, newspaper clippings, and miscellaneous notes and receipts. Following Book 9 is a partial transcription of the volume done by researcher Louisa Hutchison in 2012. The rest of the collection contains correspondence, much of which is between members, to government officials, and to university professors about agricultural sciences. There are also a few essays and speeches, newspaper clippings, magazine articles pertaining to agriculture, grain and cattle price-reports, rainfall and weather tabulations, and other information about the club itself and agriculture in general.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
