 Historical Note

The first women's home demonstration clubs were formed in North Carolina in 1913, in the fourteen counties that employed home demonstration agents. As the number of clubs and counties involved grew steadily thereafter, it was decided that a statewide organization was needed to coordinate agents activities and to act as a voice for their concerns. Thus, at the 1920 Farm Women's Convention in Raleigh (held in connection with the annual Farmer's Convention which began in 1903), the Federation of Home Bureaus was created and charged with directing the efforts of the home demonstration agents. In 1924 the name of the organization changed to the North Carolina Federation of Home Demonstration Clubs.

The Federation held its first separate business meeting in 1928, called the State Council meeting. During this period the local clubs were organized into sixteen districts that held their own meetings beginning in 1929. The number of districts grew to 27 by the 1950s, and the numerical districts were abolished in the following decade. In 1958, the group's name was changed to the North Carolina Organization of Home Demonstration Clubs.

Negro home demonstration work was organized in 1917, and the first clubs formed by 1922. A statewide organization was not created, however, until 1940, as the State Federation of Negro Home Demonstration Clubs. By 1945, the name had changed to the State Council of Negro Home Demonstration Clubs of North Carolina.

The two organizations were integrated in 1966, and the group's name changed to the North Carolina Extension Homemakers Association. This name remained until the current designation was assumed by 1995. In 2005 the Extension and Community Association (NCECA) had over 5359 members in 434 Clubs.

 Scope and Content Note

The records in the North Carolina Extension and Community Association collection document the activities of the association from 1916 to 2003, with the bulk of the records falling between 1929 to 1975. Detailed scope and content notes can be found at the beginning of each of the separate series below, as well as for each subseries. The only apparent gaps in the records pertain to the earliest dates of North Carolina home demonstration work, the 1910s and early 1920s. This collection was formerly titled North Carolina Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences Records, but it was determined in 2006 that the records did not originate with that organization but rather with the North Carolina Extension and Community Association.

The records in this collection tie in closely with the records in the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences, UA 102.018. Many of the records in the Department's collection can be found to a greater or lesser degree here as well. Researchers who search through this collection are advised to see the records of UA 102.018 as well.

 Organization of the Collection

The collection has been organized into nine series: Annual Records, Administrative Records, Affiliations, Committees, County and District Records, Farm and Home Week, Financial Records, Oversize, and Scrapbooks. Most of the records have been arranged alphabetically within each series, with the exception of the Annual Records, Farm and Home Week, and Oversize series, which are arranged chronologically. In addition, many of the series have been further divided into subseries where appropriate, often denoting records of particular interest. Occasionally, the records in different series overlap, in order to preserve the original filing of the records. This can be seen in the number of financial records to be found in the Annual and Administrative series, in addition to the files in the Financial Records series.

These records represent the yearly record of the Association's activities and programs, as kept by its officers. The organization of this series reflects the original chronological order of the files, with a "General" file, often a "President's" file, and less often, a "Financial" or "Treasurer's" file for each year. Researchers will note that there is much overlap between these records, and those found in the Administrative Records and the Financial Records series. These records are arranged chronologically and consist of correspondence, financial information, meeting minutes and agenda, and reports. In addition, there is often a small amount of biographical material in the files designated "President."

Others established early on were the Dazelle Lowe loan fund in 1935 and the Estelle Smith loan fund in 1945.

The Affiliations series documents the activities and events of organizations with which the association affiliated itself from time to time. Some of these groups are no longer in existence or have since changed their names. No effort was made to trace the history of most of these organizations, except the Associated Country Women of the World, with which the Extension and Community Association has had a strong relationship. These records contain certificates, correspondence and memoranda, event programs and brochures, meeting minutes and agenda, member lists, news releases, publications, reports, and travel itineraries. The series is divided into three groupings: records for the Associated Country Women of the World and its U.S. branch, the Country Women's Council; records for national home demonstration or homemakers organizations; and records for affiliations not falling into the other two categories. More detailed information can be found in the individual grouping descriptions.

 Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW) and Country Women's Council (CWC) 1928-1985 Scope and Contents note

The ACWW was founded in 1930 as an organization dedicated to representing the interests of rural women worldwide. The organization's headquarters were established in London, England. The organization adopted its current name in 1933. The Country Women's Council (CWC), the American branch of ACWW, was established in 1939 and adopted its current designation in 1946.

In addition to the types of records listed in the series description, several other items are worth noting. The Triennial Conference Scrapbook folder in box 42 contains clippings, programs, and other items relating to the conference. The first folder in box 40 contains information about the founding of the organization, as well as a number of Christmas cards and greetings from woman's groups all over the world. Finally, the dates indicated on the folder for Countrywoman magazine do not always represent complete runs for those years.

The general files contain, among other records, a set of folders that include "Report Anytime" pages, wherein county agents could report on particular activities or projects within their jurisdiction without having to wait to file a year-end report. The items within this grouping are arranged alphabetically by county, and they include reports and in some instances clippings.

In 1929, the Association divided its constituent clubs into sixteen districts, consisting of several counties each with their own set of district officers. These districts were given numerical designations. The number of these districts grew to twenty-seven by the early 1960s. Beginning in approximately 1939, North Carolina's clubs were also divided into geographically designated districts, each made up of eleven to nineteen counties. These geographic districts also had their own sets of officers.

By 1966 the numerical designations were dropped, and the Association maintained only geographic districts. As of 2005, there were seven of these districts in existence: North Central, Northeast, Northwest, South Central, Southeast, Southwest, and West. The records listed below are arranged first by geographic district, then numerically, with a few files of more general records at the beginning of the grouping. Many of the files in the numerically designated folders consist of scrapbook-type records of programs, clippings, and occasionally photographs, likely compiled by members of the individual districts. Researchers should note that there are also scattered records on individual districts in both the Annual Records series and the Historical Materials folders in the Administrative Records series.
