Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The S.P.M.D.T.U. records consists of typed and handwritten manuscripts of annual statements, organizational meeting minutes and proceedings, and business correspondence. Also included are numerous membership forms, receipt books, ledgers, journals, bank records, receipts, certificates, and photographs. Published materials in the S.P.M.D.T.U. records consist of forms and information booklets regarding tax filing, forms and correspondence outlining legal stipulations pertaining to state insurance, and booklets discussing organizational regulations and ritualistic codes. The records contain a small assortment of miscellaneous papers and memorabilia as well. These historic documents trace the S.P.M.D.T.U.'s social, fraternal, and financial activities throughout much of the twentieth century, and offer insight into its development and operation as a life insurance provider. Additionally, they chronicle the organization's correspondence with state insurance and IRS officials, proceedings during meetings, enlistment of new members, and record keeping of life insurance policies and premiums. The S.P.M.D.T.U. records primarily contain the business manuscripts and correspondence of the supreme council in Antonito as well as numerous documents from certain individual chapters, especially those in Capulín, Colorado, and Arroyo Seco, New Mexico.
The collection was originally divided into three series: Correspondence and Organizational Records, Receipt Books for the Concilio Superior, and Ledgers and Journals. In March 2023, a fourth series--Concilio #3, Mogote, Colorado--was created with the addition of a box of seven journals spanning the Concilio's activities from 1904-1948.
