Collection Information
Abstract:

The records of the North Carolina Extension and Community Association document the activities of the association from 1916 to 2003, with the bulk of the records falling between 1929 and 1975. The files contain correspondence and memoranda, programs and brochures, reports, meeting minutes and agenda, member lists, financial information, clippings, news releases, photographs, and handbooks and yearbooks.

The association was organized in 1920 as the Federation of Home Bureaus, and the name changed to the Federation of Home Demonstration Clubs in 1924. An African-American organization was formed in 1940, and it integrated with its white counterpart in 1966. The current designation was assumed in 1995.

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.

Detailed Description of the Collection


  • UA 102.052 Series 1: Annual Records, 1920-1997


    7 linear feet, 14 archival boxes

    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."

    15.75 linear feet, 31.5 archival boxes

    These records comprise the bulk of the collection and detail most of the events, programs, and aims of the Association through its history. The records consist of awards and certificates, biographical information, brochures and programs, correspondence and memoranda, handbooks, meeting reports and agenda, photographs, publications and newsletters, reports, surveys, and yearbooks. The series has been divided into a number of record groupings, in most cases in order to draw attention to records that require further explanation or may be of particular importance. In such cases, more detailed information is provided in descriptive notes for each grouping.

Note that by the late 1960s, many of the topics had become further subdivided to target particular issues.

      Over time, the Association has established a number of scholarship loan funds to help young rural women attend college. The loan funds honored pioneers in North Carolina Home Demonstration and Home Economics work. The Jane S. McKimmon loan fund was the first one to be established, in 1927. Others established early on were the Dazelle Lowe loan fund in 1935 and the Estelle Smith loan fund in 1945.
