Method of Acquisition

The records of the Johnson City Kiwanis Club have been deeded to the Archives by three distinct donors. The first donor was Mary Hardin McCown, who donated Kiwanis materials to the Sherrod Library on April 8, 1974. These materials were transferred to the archives upon its establishment in 1978. The McCown donation was opened for research in 1979. Subsequent Kiwanis documents have been donated to the archives by McBerney Burleson, 1986-89, and Dick Stanton, 1987. These materials were opened for research in 1989.
