Catholic Charities, 1935-1951
Scope and Contents
Frank Walker's work with Catholic charities included membership on the Committee of the Laity for the Archdiocese of New York and the chairmanship of a subcommittee formed to solicit contributions from the motion picture industry. Walker's records include correspondence, lists of donors and the amounts they contributed, minutes of meetings, and annual reports. Correspondents include John A. Coleman, the executive director of the Committee of the Laity, other committee members, and people who worked in the motion picture industry. Much of Walker's work involved contacting other movie companies and encouraging them to ask their employees for contributions. The contributions were then sent back to Walker who turned them over to the archdiocese. Most of the records in this series are letters concerning contributions and lists reporting the donors, their addresses, and the amount they have given.
