Series I:Community Programs and Involvement, 1959-1984, contains documents pertaining to different local government programs and projects in the Wyoming Valley. This series is broken up into four subseries regarding different aspects of Mailey’s interaction with the community. It contains Hugo Mailey’s speeches and correspondence with associates who partook in different conferences and annual dinners during his career. The series also contains notable letters and reports regarding potential projects for Concrete City in Nanticoke, which Wilkes College acquired on November 5, 1964 from the Glen Alden Coal Company.
