Summary:
The Administration Series documents the operational activities of the Boston Society of Vulcans including correspondence, monthly membership meetings, newsletters, legal activities, events, financial documents, fundraising events, publicity articles, and news clippings. The legal documents deal with many of the important changes that took place within the fire department's policies, covering affirmative action in the hiring process, upward mobility reports, charges against minority firefighters, and the Proposition 2 ½. This series also covers the Northeast Regional Meetings, where chapters from the Northeast Region of the International Association of Black Professional Firefighters would gather in one city to share knowledge and discuss organizational direction.
