This series contains the records of the Hudson Valley District Council of Carpenters which was chartered on May 4, 1949 when the Ulster and Vicinity Council as well as some other Locals combined.New locals and independent locals continued to affiliate with the district council, and by the early 1950's the district council represented carpenters in Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Greene, Sullivan, and Ulster counties. The records include minutes of meetings of the district council, contracts, and bylaws. This series also contains printed matter and material related to jurisdictional disputes with other carpenters' district councils. Minutes, a few contracts, and some other material in this series have been photocopied, and the originals have been returned to the Council.
