Meeting minutes, correspondence, reports, publications, subject files, financial ledgers, departmental records, and audiovisual materials document the activities of the leadership and membership of GHA. Although the records document GHA's entire history, the bulk of the records concern the beginnings of the company, especially in the Board of Trustees series, and the years 1970-1993. The most significant series are the Board of Trustees, Executive Office, and General Administration. GHA members elected and served on the Board, making it a key component of the company's philosophy. The Board of Trustees series, especially the large volume of meeting minutes, documents the organization's actions and infrastructure. The Executive Office series highlights GHA's management structure and activities. Records such as executive office files and policy manuals provide an understanding of the organization's managerial style and corporate planning. The General Administration series provides a day-to-day record of the company. Inter-office memos and subject files address the basic routines that kept GHA running smoothly. Researchers looking for information about GHA's membership constituency will find voluminous records in the Membership and Claims Management series. Applications, denials, and policy coverage changes for individuals and the variety of companies for which GHA provided coverage can be found in these two series, as well as computer output summary data regarding such topics as the types of policies held and the variety of economic, gender, race, and age groups served. Similar information can also be found in the Medical Services series.
