Overview and metadata sections
The Huntingdon Valley Fish and Game Protective Association was founded in 1933. The Association was particularly concerned with the polluted conditions of the Pennypack Creek in the 1950s, and getting it stocked with fish.
This collection consists of minutes of the Huntingdon Valley Fish and Game Protective Association, 1933-1936, 1951-1969, reporting on fish stocking and catching, game releases and hunting, tree planting, shooting and fishing tournaments. The Association was particularly concerned with the polluted conditions of the Pennypack Creek in the 1950’s, and getting it stocked. The minutes include financial reports, names of members elected, and occasionally brief descriptions of programs presented at meetings. There is miscellaneous correspondence, member lists, Constitution and By-Laws, and photographs of the Torresdale Hatchery.
Summary descriptive information on this collection was compiled in 2011-2012 as part of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania’s Hidden Collections Initiative for Pennsylvania Small Archival Repositories (HCI-PSAR), using data provided by the Old York Road Historical Society. The HCI-PSAR project was funded by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
This is a preliminary finding aid. No physical processing, rehousing, reorganizing, or folder listing was done in the HCI-PSAR project.
