This series contains the records of Local 265 of Saugerties. Local 265 was chartered in 1974 under the Hudson Valley District Council of Carpenters, and was made up of 5 of the 14 original locals. These locals included; Local 251, Kingston; Local 1075, Hudson; Local 1175, Kingston; Local 2161, Catskill; and Local 2328. This series also contains records of Local 306. The dues ledger of local 306 is the only surviving record of Associated Shipyard Workers Unions, Carpenters Local 306, of Kingston. Local 306 might have been affiliated with the Hudson Valley District Council of Carpenters, but whether or not this is true is unknown. All members in this ledger are listed as being initiated in the period 1940-1942, so this was likely a young local at the time. This series also contains records of Local 1560. The record is of the complete history of Local 1560 from its first meeting on April 14, 1903, until its last in 1909. When Local 1560 was organized there was already one other carpenters' local (number 251) in Kingston. In 1908, these two locals formed the Kingston District Council of Carpenters, but both this council and Local 1560 dissolved in 1909 upon the merger of Local 1560 into Local 251. Local 1175 was also originally a part of the Kingston council. Locals 1075, 2161, and 2328 were originally chartered in 1955 as part of the Hudson Valley District Council of Carpenters. This series contains membership ledgers, meeting minutes, daybooks, correspondence and registers.
