Item Information

Title:
Finding Aid: RG103 YMCA Hall of Fame Papers
Description:
This collection documents both the establishment and organization of the YMCA Hall of Fame at Springfield College and the nomination and induction processes from the institution’s founding in 1985 to the present. The collection continues to grow as new nominees are inducted and as the by-laws and committees change. Information about the initial establishment and history of the Hall of Fame at Springfield College, including correspondence with attorneys and applications to patent and/or copyright the term “YMCA Hall of Fame,” are included in Series 1: History and Governance. This series includes several lists of committee chairmen, committee members, nominees, and inductees as well as minutes, memos, and draft documents from committee meetings. Official documents such as the Hall of Fame by-laws and selection processes can also be found in this series. In addition, there is memorabilia from the Hall of Fame, including a banner, and the plaque and listing books from the original physical Hall of Fame. The bulk of the YMCA Hall of Fame collection can be found in Series 2: Annual Induction Ceremonies and Nominations. This series contains information related to the individual induction ceremonies which were first held annually from 1985 to 2007 (with the exception of 2005) and then held every three years beginning in 2007. Although the same materials are not available for every year in this series, almost every year contains programs from the induction ceremony as well as nomination and biographical information on that year’s inductees. Nomination and biographical materials are varied; there are nomination forms and letters, other correspondence, résumés, memos, newspaper and magazine articles by and/or about the inductees, YMCA publications, etc. Other materials in Series 2 include: videos and photographs of the induction ceremonies, oral histories of the inductees, photographs of the induction ceremonies and portraits of the inductees, invitations to the induction ceremonies, plaques of inductees, and committee memos, correspondence, budgets, and scheduling and planning information.
