Title:    The Annexation of Greater Lancaster, Manheim Township, 1947-1952

Description:   These scrapbooks address the development of Manheim Township.  There is a variety of correspondence discussing the boundary lines between Greater Lancaster and Manheim Township and the impact they would have on the community. The books show the debates between Kendig C. Bare with Simplex Paper Box Corporation and John M. Groff with Armstrong Cork Company.  The newspaper clippings give a wider community view of the complex problems in developing new boundary lines, including taxes and education.
