Letters and notes regarding acquisition of collection; and various donations, 1972-1976

This series contains a small collection of materials from and about the Heritage House Museum in Compton, California. Materials include donation forms, membership rosters, financial ledgers, news clippings, correspondence, programs, booklets, journals, and ephemera from the late 19th century, including pieces from “Godey’s Ladies Journal”. A majority of the documents were created during the renovation and opening of the museum in the late 1950s. Some of the material was created and collected by the Heritage House Auxiliary including by-laws, membership cards, receipt book, membership lists, and correspondence, including letters from the 1970s on the removal of the Heritage House from the Civic Center. Other material not related to the Auxiliary were donated to the museum from citizens of Compton. Also included in this series are photographs of the Heritage House.
