Sociedad de Union Papers
La Sociedad de la Union was a mutual aid society established in 1886 in San Antonio, Texas. The mutualista collected dues from its members, primarily men, and used the funds to assist members and their families with medical and other outstanding expenses encountered during an illness or lack of employment. This collection provides names and addresses of members, minutes, treasurers’ reports. The records of the society provide a small window into San Antonio’s Mexican American community. These records provide data useful to persons interested in community organizing, health, immigration, labor, and genealogy.
The following provides a broad view of the items held at the Center for Mexican American Studies and Research collections in the OLLU Convent, room 112. Currently there are no transcriptions available for these records. Interested persons should contact library.collections@ollusa.edu.
