Extent:

12 cubic ft.

Scope and content:

This series contains the records of Local 255 of Bloomingburg. Local 255 was created in 1974 when the Hudson Valley District Council of Carpenters merged 14 locals into 3. Local 255 combined 6 of the 14 locals. These locals were; Local 301, Newburgh (organized July 1, 1887, chartered November 25, 1888); Local 574, Middletown (organized May 3, 1900, chartered 1900); Local 729, Liberty (chartered April 12, 1949); Local 1038, Ellenville; Local 2373, Monticello (chartered October 24, 1950); and Local 2967, Port Jervis (merged into Local 574).

Prior to the creation of the Hudson Valley District Council of Carpenters, some of these locals belogned to other district councils. Locals 301, 574, and 2967 were originally part of the Lower Hudson Valley District Council until that council surrendered its charter on April 1, 1957.

Locals 729, 1038, and 2372 were originally part of the Ulster and Vicinity Council. Local 729 had jurisdiction over building and construction work in the northern part of Sullivan County specfically while Local 1038 orignally had jurisdiction in Ellenville and Local 2372 had jurisdiction in Monticello.

This series contains records relating to the locals that make up Local 255. These records include meeting minutes, membership ledgers, daybooks, and contracts. While Local 1038 and Local 2372 are part of Local 255, there are no records on those specific locals in this collection. This series also contains a single ledger book of dues records remains to document the history of Local 1662. Although the local is located in Goshen, which is near all the other unions that eventually merged into Local 255, Local 1662 is not listed in any of the tables as being a part of the predecessors. The local might have been independent, but it is likely that it was affiliated with some predecessor to the current district council.
