Scope and content
Series contains records relating to the operations of volunteer committees of The Grange – primarily meeting minutes, agendas, memos, correspondence, The Grange newsletter, training documents, Day Captain’s minutes, and historical research materials provided to volunteers.
Volunteer committees were variously known as The Grange Committee (1973-1980), the Grange Volunteer Committee (1980-1995), and The Grange Executive (1996-). Committee members liaised with gallery departments and the AGO Volunteer Committee, ran programs and daily operations, fundraised, and publicized The Grange. In 1981 due to staff cuts in the gallery, Grange volunteers took over operation of the Grange including administration, programming, training, and finances.
