Contains minutes of the Board of Directors, Executive Committee, and some committee meetings (1969-1980 except 1976). Minutes are in a single run (i.e. are not divided by committee) and, for most years, in reverse chronological order. The minutes contain a limited amount of correspondence and campaign material. Meeting notes of President Simpkin are retained in the 1974 minutes. This series also includes Budget Committee minutes (1970-1974, 1978-1979). The minutes of this committee are incomplete and supplement minutes found in the regular run. Also in this series are HUW Financial Statements (1973-1980) which supplement Annual Report balance sheets (Series IV).

Most of the correspondence is produced by the executive director and is maintained in rough chronological order. Correspondence for 1976 and 1977 is arranged by agency; for 1978, correspondence is in an alphabetical arrangement. The series includes internal memoranda, routine office correspondence, and (mostly outgoing) agency correspondence. Agency correspondence supplements Agency Allocations (Series III).

Includes agency budget worksheets, budget requests, and allocations (1972-1980). This series also includes some budget committee material--minutes, correspondence, and work notes. This series is arranged chronologically and, within each year, either alphabetically or by agency type (health, family, or community service). Annual Reports (Series IV) includes condensed agency request and allocation information.

Subseries 1 contains campaign records, including campaign organization, internal correspondence, solicitation lists and letters, publicity, and campaign results.

Subseries 2 also includes Annual Reports (1969-1983). Subseries 3 consists of two folders of unidentified photographs.

This subseries includes: "United Fund Budgeting Manual" (1968), "Personnel Development Program: Intern Interview Information" (c.1977), and "United Way Executives of Massachusetts" (1978).
