Southern Highland Handicraft Guild

When the Allanstand Cottage Industries craft shop in Asheville, North Carolina was transferred from Frances Goodrich to the Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild in 1931, it presented Guild members with an outlet to sell their craft products. It was important to the Guild that the work sold under its name was mountain crafted and met high standards. Shortly after its formation in 1930, the Guild set up a Membership and Standards Committee to ensure members met certain standards in terms of the quality of their craft work. Goodrich, Clementine Douglas, and Lucy Morgan formed the committee and, with input from Olive D. Campbell, together they established criteria for selling crafts under the Guild's name in 1937. These three documents include the proposed criteria along with accompanying correspondence to Helen Dingman, Guild secretary, and O.J. Mattil, Guild president.
