Since the publication of an article on the Frederick Tudor papers in the September 1932 Bulletin, the Society has received a great deal of new manuscript material relating to the Tudor Ice Company and other Tudor business ventures from Mr. Frederick Tudor, grandson of the founder of the ice project. Although a few readers may recall the previous article, a digest thereof will help to place our new acquisitions in their proper setting.

During the year 1934, a sister organization to the Business Historical Society, known as the Council for the Preservation of Business Archives, was formed in London, England. The Council officially came into being on May 11, 1934 when a group of influential men of England gathered at the London School of Economics and Political Science for the Foundation meeting. A great deal of preliminary work had been done in the preceding two or three years, but the organization meeting was the first public notice given the enterprise.

In the forest region of the State of Washington lying south of the Capital, Olympia, there is a little town, Tenino, that has been receiving in the last three years an amount of newspaper publicity far out of proportion to its size. And well might this be so, for Tenino has added a new page in the history of currency by issuing wooden money, some of which has found its way into the archives of the Society.

From time to time during the life of the Society new fields of endeavor have been opened up, thus leading to a general broadening of the organization's activities. One such added activity that has assumed a position of importance is the collection of business historical material in foreign countries. In the six year period that the Society has been seeking foreign material there has been an influx into the Baker Library of hundreds of documents on business abroad.
