Records of YMCA international work in the Philippines, 1901-1990 (bulk 1902-1980).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/769424309

The records of YMCA work in the Philippines consist of correspondence and reports of the foreign secretaries; annual reports; and financial records, including war claims and transfer of property records. Records of approximately fifteen local associations, primarily building records, are also included, as well as records of specific programs and activities, especially rural reconstruction work. There are also some records of the Army-Navy work, histories, issues of periodicals, pamphlets, and photos. Much of the material from the 1970s onwards concerns the transfer of property owned by the International Committee (of YMCAs of the United States) to the Filipino YMCA and support of YMCA-sponsored development projects around the country.
