Greetings members of H-Florida!
As the current review editor and a list editor for H-Florida, I wanted to tell you about why I find H-Net to be a wonderful resource and worthy of your support. Some of you are already aware that there is a fundraising drive to help preserve H-Net's independence and integrity, but there is a chance that a few of you may still be unaware.
I have found a reference in The St. Augustine Record to Florine McQuiag as the first woman elected to a city commission in Florida. She was elected to the St. Augustine City Commission in 1948.I'ved looked in various "Halls of Fame" around the state and I can't find an earlier female commissioner. Does anyone know of someone prior to 1948?

This collection includes the administrative records of the organization as well as scrapbooks, photographs, membership and annual meetings files, correspondence, and financial records.
