Abstract:

The tradition of mummery dates back to the late 17th century, but the parade was first sponsored by the City of Philadelphia in 1901. The Philadelphia New Years Shooters and Mummers Association administers the annual Mummers Parade in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Art McGinnis scrapbooks and club statistics, 1963-1988, consist of scrapbooks and statistical information compiled by McGinnis relating to the Mummers Parade and its participants.
