1Title:  May Hope Francis Papers     
 Creator:  Francis, May Hope 
 Dates:  1922-1959 
 Abstract:  May Hope Francis was a prominent clubwoman in Cleveland, Ohio, during the 1920s and 1930s. Much of her community work was done through her membership in the Cleveland Federation of Women's Clubs as member and chairman of its American Citizenship Committee. Mrs. Francis also worked with the City of Cleveland during the tenure of City Manager William R. Hopkins to promote ethnic cultural events and to publicize civic events, including the 1927 reception for Charles A. Lindbergh. In 1929, she helped establish the All Nations Hopkins Testimonial Committee. She was also active in the Women's Organization of the National Retail Druggists Association and the Early Settlers Association of Cuyahoga County. The collection consists of scrapbooks, correspondence, a ledger, and newspaper clippings. Most of the collection relates to Francis' work with the Cleveland Federation of Women's Clubs and with the City of Cleveland, particularly the reception for Charles A. Lindbergh in 1927, and ethnic programs sponsored by the City.
