The papers of the Perry Hall Improvement Association (PHIA), an advocacy group founded in 1945 by the residents of Perry Hall, Maryland became part of the UMBC Special Collections in 1994 when it was donated by Mrs. Genevieve Buetttner, a long time member of the PHIA Board of Directors. Accession records are not specific as to date of receipt or where the papers had been kept prior to coming to UMBC. The collection arrived at UMBC in nine cardboard boxes, unnumbered and without an existing order. The records and papers were in plastic bags, loose-leaf notebooks, manila envelopes and folders, with no arrangement other than within individual notebooks or files. The collection was processed and the finding aid written by Drew Alfgren, under the supervision of Marcia Peri, Archivist, in August, 1999.
