BOX 1-6 | Office Files, 1913-2020 | ||||||||||||
The Office Files series documents administrative, business, and financial
aspects of VSDC. Extensive board meeting agendas, minutes, correspondence,
bylaws, logic models, and strategic planning notes lend insight into its
priorities and objectives. Contact directories for members, local
businesses, and nonprofits are also indicative of the broader community VSDC
serves. The organization's focus on underrepresented groups is especially
well-documented in applications and correspondence covering grants and
fundraising opportunities. Notable grants include Department of Health and
Human Services Health Disparities in Minority Health grant and the Kaiser
Permanente Community Health Grant, both of which funded the Veg Society of
DC Eat Smart Program. General financial records, including budget outlines,
profit and loss statements, balance sheets, expense reports, and tax records
complement this material. Writings pertaining to VSDC history are also
notable, including Keith Akers’s History of the
Vegetarian Society of District of Columbia and Richard
Stafursky’s radio scripts for Syndicated Vegetarian
News. Digital files include drafts of VSDC announcements and newsletters, two databases with information about membership demographics, and notes related to website updates and a brand refresh. Additional documents include board meeting notes and agendas, bylaws, tax records, and strategic planning notes, most of which are digitized versions of paper files in this series. Material types include agendas, applications, bylaws, correspondence, contact directories, email, digital files, financial records, legal documents, logic models, and notes. |

BOX 6-9 | Programs and Events, 1983-2021 | ||||||||||||
The Programs and Events series documents the planning, implementation, and
reception of VSDC events and educational programs. A substantial amount
pertains to the Veg Society of DC Eat Smart Program, a course addressing
nutrition, health benefits, and strategies for embracing a vegan diet and
active lifestyle. Other papers trace decades of annual Thanksgiving dinners
and VegFest DC celebrations, providing insight into the broad network of
prominent figures and vegetarian organizations that supported VSDC events
and its mission of promoting veganism in the Washington, D.C., area.
Applications for the VSDC GreenRewards Discount Program illustrate efforts
among local businesses to promote veganism by offering incentives to VSDC
members. Additional events documented in this series include the VSDC
seventy-fifth anniversary exhibit, volunteer appreciation socials, and a
speaking event with animal rights activist Howard F. Lyman, codefendant of
Oprah Winfrey in a lawsuit brought by the National Cattlemen's Beef
Association. Digital files include course material for the Veg Society of DC Eat Smart Program and a substantial number of photographs from social gatherings, including picnics, outdoor activities, cooking classes, and game nights. Other files contain digitized programs and promotional flyers available in this series as analog material. Material types include clippings, correspondence, digital files, evaluations, financial records, photographs, programs, and promotional material. |
