Cator Woolford papers, 1915-1914

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/182560990

The Cator Woolford Papers, 1915-1944, document Woolford's civic and philanthropic interests in the education, health care, and environs of Georgians through a scrapbook and subject files containing articles, correspondence, newsletters, pamphlets, and reports related to local and national organizations to which he founded or was a member. The subjects of the employment and vocational training needs of African Americans and women in Atlanta are documented in the Charities and Employment, Community Employment Training School, Personnel Association of Atlanta, and Vocational Bureau files, whereas the Georgia College Placement Office file pertains to graduates of universities and colleges in the state. In the case of the later, the scrapbook contains news clippings and articles about Woolford's involvement in the Georgia College Placement Office. The Biographical Information file contains articles, news clippings, and obituaries related to Woolford. In general, the collection contains little documentation related to his personal life or the Retail Credit Company.
