This subseries contains a variety of material from the British War Relief Society, a national organization established to assist in the British war effort from the American home front, and its Honolulu chapter. The majority of the activity documented in these materials takes place before America’s entrance into the war, primarily between 1939 and 1941. Materials include bank statements, receipts, and other financial documentation; bulletins and circulars both from the national headquarters and the Honolulu branch; correspondence with the national headquarters in New York and with recipients of aid in Britain; ledgers; materials regarding goods purchased with funds raised by the society or gifts sent to Britain by the society (including Christmas packages to children and soldiers; knitted clothing and outerwear; and an ambulance); miscellaneous documents regarding events planned to raise funds for the society; press releases and other publicity; pamphlets; requisition and inventory forms; correspondence with other islands and other relief organizations (including the British Red Cross and American Red Cross); meeting minutes; and memoranda.
