About the Ancient Order of Foresters: The Ancient Order of Foresters originated in England in the mid-eighteenth century, with the first recorded Foresters meeting being held in Leeds in 1834. The Ancient Order of Foresters established its first branch (court) in Australia in Victoria in 1849. The Foresters are a non-profit organisation. The principles of the society are founded on a desire to provide financial and social benefits as well as support to members and their families in times of unemployment, sickness, death, disability and old age. Consequently, the Foresters played a particularly active role in the lives of members and their families during the Depression and both World Wars. Membership growth was significant during and up to the mid 1940's. At this stage the society had nearly one hundred courts located throughout Victoria, and had representation in all states of Australia. During this period funds raised by Foresters contributed to the construction of approximately twenty Foresters halls throughout the state. These facilities were utilised for meetings and community purposes and halls were used as refuges in times of trauma such as bushfires and floods. In the post Second World War period membership began to decline as the social circumstances improved due to the growth of the economy and an abundance of work and improvement in the provision of government benefits. Although the importance of such groups as the Ancient Order of Foresters has declined in recent years, the society through a core of loyal and dedicated members, has never wavered from its original objectives and mission to "serve the community and deserving groups by involvement in social activities and fund raising for charities." <a href="http://www.forestersfs.com.au/1history.html">http://www.forestersfs.com.au/1history.html</a> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Hood, Ted Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived State Library of New South Wales Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1929 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource State Library of New South Wales Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Hyperlink Ancient Order of Foresters banner banners float floats Foresters fraternities fraternity friendly societies friendly society horse horses New South Wales NSW parade parades procession processions Ted Hood Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
