Series 2: Recreation Committee
- Scope and content:
-
Mrs. John Garland Pollard served as Chairman of the Recreation Committee of the Advisory Council on the Virginia Economy, 1947-1956. The Advisory Council recommended that the state create an Inter-Agency Committee on Recreation, and Governor Battle did so in 1953. Pollard was unanimously elected chairman at its first meeting, and continued to serve as chairman until she retired from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in 1956. She remained on the committee until 1962. The series contains published materials, meeting minutes, and some correspondence. It is divided into three subseries: the Advisory Council, its Recreation Committee, and the Interagency Committee.
