History

This organization originated in 1919 and spanned 48 years congregating several Slovakian Nationals together for various events and activities. It appears from some of the minutes taken that there was a struggle to maintain membership in the District 6 location, but the society continued to be maintained for a number of years.

Scope and Content Notes

These records are primarily in the Slovak language, although one set of meeting minutes is in English. There were many National Slovak Societies (NSS) located in the area and they are referred to indirectly concerning membership. Also included in this collection are a few monthly reports, membership transfers, and membership roll lists as well as materials relating to national conventions and some badges and pins.

Access Restrictions
