| 520 | |a This collection comprises scrapbooks compiled on behalf of J. Hampton Moore. Most are newspaper clippings scrapbooks documenting Moore’s political career and related political and civic issues. Scrapbooks on some special topics (Republican Advisory Campaign Committee, 1906; 5 O’Clock Club, 1883-1907) also include ephemera and correspondence; at least one scrapbook is pieced-together transcripts presumably from the Congressional Record (indexed); there is a scrapbook on the 1889 Johnstown Flood. Because of the range of Moore's interests, this collection documents Philadelphia life and politics fairly comprehensively for the first third of the twentieth century from the perspective of multiple newspaper sources. | ||

| 545 | |a Joseph Hampton Moore was a congressional representative for seven terms from 1906 to 1920 and mayor of Philadelphia for two nonconsecutive terms in 1920 and 1932. While in these positions, Moore worked steadfastly to serve his party and constituents. His time serving the public was supplemented by his deep-rooted interest in waterways and shipping and he was president of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association for forty years. In addition, Moore was a founding member of the Five O’clock Club and member and officer of several other clubs and organizations. Much of the rest of his time was spent attending social functions. Moore’s forty years in local and national politics spanned the 1890s through the 1930s. | ||
