The collection consists of records concerning WYSSAR’s administration, membership, activities, and accomplishments. The collection also contains publications, correspondence, and other materials from the national organization. The membership applications, dating from the Society’s inception, are good sources for genealogical information. Scanned copies of the applications, with an index, are also included on two CDs filed separately in Box 14, RR 1196. These should be referenced instead of the originals. The WYSSAR charter, an oversize document, is stored in Box 5, RR 1185
