Introduction

The American Lung Association collection documents from 1920 to 1979 the progress of local health association campaigns against tuberculosis and respiratory diseases. Through the sale of Christmas seals, sponsoring of chest x-rays, and supporting public health education programs, these groups hoped to prevent the future spread of such diseases and promote good health. The health activities of Toledo and six northwestern Ohio counties (Lucas, Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Williams, and Wood) are detailed in organizational minutes, correspondence, subject files, financial records and scrapbooks which provide additional information concerning the relationship between local, state, and national tuberculosis and respiratory disease associations.

The collection was donated to the Center for Archival Collections in May 1982 by Dr. John Ray, executive director of the then-named Northwestern Ohio Lung Association. No restrictions have been placed on the research use of this collection. The register was prepared by F. N. Honneffer in December 1982.

Agency History

The American Lung Association was a merger of the Toledo/Lucas, Defiance, Henry, Fulton, Williams, and Wood County tuberculosis and health associations in June 1973. At that time, the newly formed association was called the Northwestern Ohio Lung Association; in 1984 the name was changed to the American Lung Association. This association was conceived in a united effort to combat not simply tuberculosis but rather all lung ailments and to promote good health through non-smoking and clean air campaigns.

Prior to the establishment of the Northwestern Ohio Lung Association, the county tuberculosis and health associations functioned independently until April 1970, when Fulton and Henry Counties formed the Northwestern Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association, anticipating the future inclusion of the other counties. At that time, the Ohio Tuberculosis and Health Association was engaged in a state-wide reorganization plan to encourage several county chapters to merge into larger organizations in an effort to cut costs, enable hiring of trained professionals and develop more effective programming. In June 1972, the six county Christmas seal organizations merged, creating the Northwestern Christmas Seal Association, and a year later founded the Northwestern Ohio Lung Association.

Scope and Content

The American Lung Association collection contains minutes from Toledo/Lucas County, Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Williams, and Wood County Associations. In addition, the Northwestern Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association, assorted Toledo-based organizations, and other Ohio Tuberculosis Association minutes are included. The great bulk of minutes are those of the Toledo Public Health Association and later the Tuberculosis Society of Toledo and Lucas County. They also are the most complete and inclusive set of minutes in the collection, spanning over forty years of health service. The strength of these Toledo proceedings lie in their detailed coverage of Christmas seal campaigns in that city and their discussion of health camp activities, fresh air school, tuberculosis sanitorium construction and x-ray programs. In addition, the Fulton County minutes contain an interesting history of Christmas seals in that county as well as brief notes from the secretary's book dating back to 1909.

Included in this collection is a large assortment of correspondence, much of which pertains to Toledo. The Toledo Christmas seal and health association correspondence is separately filed and listed. However, the subject files contain additional correspondence related to the health camps, William Roche Hospital construction and many other assorted topics.

Both the subject files and the scrapbooks are the central core of the American Lung Association collection. The subject files again are related primarily to Toledo concentrating on the city health campaigns. Tuberculosis surveys of Toledo conducted as early as 1923 and graphs, charts, and statistical information focusing on tuberculosis in the city provide useful data. Health camp reports, manuals explaining the operating of x-ray equipment, tuberculosis and health related studies also form a significant part of the collection. In addition, there are a number of publicity folders focusing on radio, television and newspaper advertising for the Tuberculosis Society of Toledo and Lucas County. Curative techniques such as sun baths, open air schools, and of course nutrition programs for undernourished children are discussed along with emphasis on the role of sanatoria. Some Works Progress Administration materials can be located in the subject files and also are mentioned in the Toledo minutes and scrapbooks. The remainder of the subject files pertain to a few out-of-state health associations, health education programs and general fund-raising.

The collection's scrapbooks focus primarily on Toledo's tuberculosis and health activities and secondly on the Northwestern Ohio Lung Association. The scrapbooks consist almost entirely of northwestern Ohio news clippings, although some letters, pamphlets, and other printed material may be located within the scrapbooks. The Toledo scrapbooks span almost fifty years, dating from 1923 to 1973, with a five-year gap occurring between 1929 and 1933. They contain Toledo health camp news, information about Christmas seal drives, x-ray program announcements and organization activity updates. The other counties also have their respective scrapbooks. However, they are not as complete and well-organized. No Wood County scrapbook is contained in the collection, but information concerning the Wood County Tuberculosis and Health Association can be found in the Northwestern Christmas Seal Association and Northwestern Ohio Lung Association scrapbooks. In addition, articles pertaining to the northwestern Christmas Seal Association for June to December 1972 may be found under those dates in the scrapbook of the Tuberculosis Society of Toledo and Lucas County.

The collection's printed material consists primarily of Tuberculosis and Christmas Seal pamphlets along with assorted Christmas seals from 1923 to 1976. One of the folders in particular has an assortment of early diagnosis pamphlets for the prevention of tuberculosis while other printed materials tell the history of the Christmas Seal and discuss facts about tuberculosis. Another pamphlet examines the use of the sun cure at a Swiss Alpine Heliotherapic Resort. Two large tuberculosis posters also are part of the collection's printed materials and various certificates and flyers are located throughout the collection.

Miscellaneous photographs from the participating counties and health associations also are included, most of which pertain to Toledo. The subject material, however, is much the same for all the counties, focusing on groups stuffing Christmas seal envelopes, individuals receiving skin tests and chest x-rays, and photos of association officers. The photographs of the Toledo health camp children, many of which appeared in the Toledo newspapers, are another highlight of this collection.
