Scope and Content Note

From the Series:

Series III is comprised of diversely formatted 4-H materials. It includes photographs, publications, correspondence and articles on boys' and girls' club work from 1915 through 1917, Extension Subcommittee on 4-H Club Work reports, impact studies and bibliographies, and Youth Staff Development and Training intern reports. It contains 4-H sheet music, 33.3 RPM records of radio spots, 4-H club songs on 78 RPM records, and National 4-H Week kits and posters. The sheet music is arranged chronologically. However, songs published the same date are arranged alphabetically by the composer or lyricist's name. Songs published by the same composer or lyricist the same year are arranged alphabetically by title of the song. The National 4-H Leader O.H. Benson's personal file in which the items are not sorted by date or subject was divided into 27 folders in order to maintain the original arrangement. All other dated materials are arranged chronologically. Many of the photographs are not dated and so are arranged by decades based on best estimates. The one poster that is not dated has been placed at the end of the poster collection.

Custodial History

The painting has been displayed in the Heritage Hallway, opposite of the Board of Directors room since 2005. The National 4-H History Preservation team received information in 2012 from Dennis Schmidt: “I have had a copy of what I understood was a National 4-H Club Calendar from the 1960s for many years, because I was one of the participants that posed for some photographs that the artist used to create the picture. He took pictures of several of us 4-H'ers near the Salt Lake County Extension offices. The gentleman pictured in the center of the print (in 'civilian' clothes) is Mel Burningham, one of the County Extension Agents. The kid standing with his boot on the wheel barrow is me.” “My brother is the boy by the trash can.”

The painting was displayed as part of the exhibit of original Calendar and Poster art in the Heritage Hallway, J. C. Penney Hall at the National 4-H Conference Center, Chevy Chase, Maryland, until 2024.
