{"value"=>"<p>This series is arranged into two sub-series: a) Domestic Regional Groups affiliated with the FGI and b) Regional Groups abroad affiliated with the FGI. Both sections provide an excellent source of information about the activities of the regional groups and their relationship to the parent organization. These records should not be considered complete. Many of the groups are currently active and more complete archives are most likely kept by the groups themselves. The domestic regional groups, 1930s-1990s, are arranged by city in the following order (* indicating strong representation) : Atlanta, Baltimore, Birmingham, Boston*, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland*, Columbus*, Dallas*, Detroit*, Fort Worth, Houston, Honolulu, Kansas City*, Los Angeles*, Miami, Minneapolis/ St. Paul, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Palm Springs, Philadelphia*, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland (Oregon), St. Louis, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle*, Tampa, Tempe, AZ; Washington, DC*. The regional groups abroad, 1930s-1990s, are smaller in scope and are arranged by city in the following order: Bogota, Colombia; Johannesburg, South Africa; London, England; Melbourne, Australia; Mexico City, Mexico; Montreal, Quebec; Paris, France; Sydney, Australia, and Tokyo, Japan.
