Descriptive Data

Archives Identifier00104Date Range1914-1928DescriptionAs a public figure the Mayor of Wellington was often asked to head various charitable funds to which the public made contribution. This series covers four such funds: the WWI Imperial Patriotic Fund, the Upper Hutt Disaster fund for dependents of those lost in a disaster in 1914, an Unemployment Relief fund at the start of the Depression and the Moncrieff Hood fund for the dependents of two airmen lost in a crash in 1928. Minutes are evidence of how contributions were used, the part played by prominent Wellingtonians nominated to the committees and also provide valuable social history of the period.
