Much of Lynde's career was spent with the Associated Charities of Cleveland, Ohio, 1923-1933; then he became assistant director of the Family Welfare Association in New York. He returned to Cleveland in 1935 to head the Cleveland Welfare Federation (later the Federation for Community Planning) until his retirement in 1959. The collection consists of correspondence, newspaper clippings, and articles pertaining to Lynde's personal life and professional career, and genealogical materials relating to Lynde family members. The collection pertains to the private and professional life of Edward D. Lynde, particularly his involvement in the social service reform movement, and relationships between Lynde family members. Included are the Civil War letters and documents of Lynde's grandfather, Abraham G. Schermerhorn, letters from Myron H. Bent, a journalist with the Brooklyn, N.Y. Times-Herald regarding his anti-New Deal activities, and letters to Lynde's mother, Ardelle S.L.
