Southern Highland Handicraft Guild

The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild met for its annual membership meeting in Knoxville, Tennessee on March 8, 1940. Meeting minutes generally contain committee reports, financial statements, new members, announcements of regional events, and discussion about special issues facing the organization. At this particular meeting a Publicity Committee Chairman was appointed with selected committee members from each of the nine states. Olive D. Campbell opened discussion on the "relationship between the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild and the Southern Highlanders." A committee was formed. President O.J. Mattil summarized the Guild's relationship with the National Park Service and Guild sales in national parks. The membership voted to begin setting up a second shop. Clementine Douglas was asked to send out a questionnaire about sales preferences. [The attached questionnaire is more about basic Guild operations.] Minutes were recorded by Elizabeth G. Barnes. The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild was founded in 1930 as the Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild. The name was changed to the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild in 1933 and again in the 1990s to the Southern Highland Craft Guild.
