Scope and arrangement
The Booker T. Washington Center for Servicemen Records include by-laws, incorporation papers, and minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors (1943 - 1946). The majority of the records, however, are financial, including cashbooks and ledger listing expenditures and receipts as well as budget reports presented to the New York City Defense Recreation Committee. A description of the activities sponsored by the Center is not included in the collection, although occasionally some activities are mentioned in the minutes.
