Join in: Voluntary Associations in America

By: Library of Congress

"The Join In exhibition, drawn primarily from the collections of the Library of Congress, opens a conversation about voluntary associations and their historic importance in American society. The exhibition examines the longstanding impulse of Americans to join together to shape their society through efforts such as fellowship, charitable and mutual aid; professional, emergency services, reform, and community associations; and the tools they have adopted over time to do so. The exhibition also acknowledges the existence of social conflict in American history and the part associations have played in it. These associations and the act of associating have become an integral and defining part of our American fabric"--
