This Series contains records, none of which are available online. This series consists of correspondence and telegrams received from government and non-government agencies, as well as from private individuals; newspaper clippings, and copies of correspondence sent, concerning the administration of recreational activities at various U.S. Army installations and training camps. Unnumbered documents, and an engineering drawing of the U.S. Army supply base at Norfolk, Virginia, can be found at the end of the series. File 6520-A contains photographs of the Allied War Exhibition, which toured major American cities across the country in 1919. Pictured are members of the Jewish Welfare Board, Mrs. Jessie McKee, and other unidentified persons. Correspondence from members of the U.S. Congress, the Secretary of the Navy, the Post Office Department, the American Red Cross War Council, the Salvation Army, the Committee of Fourteen, the Council of National Defense, the Jewish Board for Welfare Work, various women's groups, and the Boy Scouts of America is included. Some correspondence is apparently missing from the series. The records were maintained by the Training Camp Activities Commission and its successor, whose chairman was Raymond B. Fosdick.
