Southern Highland Handicraft Guild

The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild met for its annual membership meeting in Knoxville, Tennessee on March 7, 1941. 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 Allen Eaton spoke on the issues related to opening a new shop in the Shenandoah National Park which sparked a lively discussion among attendees. The Education Committee reported about documenting craft standards for members, as well as developing a certification process for Master Craftsmen designation. There was also a general discussion about U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour issues. 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.
