Papers of the Council consist of organizational items dealing with its constitution, bylaws, and proposed membership (1938); minutes of annual meetings (1939-60) and special meetings (1940-61) submitted by John C. Huttar and earlier secretaries, with treasurers' reports, attendance lists, resolutions, committee reports, and other attachments; also outline and summary of the history of the organization (1958, 1959) and roster of presidents (1938-65). Records deal mainly with poultry production and marketing policies and standards, especially where federal or state legislation was involved, poultry disease research, and related matters.
