| Abstract: |
The Cleveland Clearing House Association is a bank check clearinghouse founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1858. It also conducted
periodic bank examinations and aided in the campaign to locate a branch of the Federal Reserve in Cleveland, coordinated political
lobbying efforts and public marketing and information campaigns on behalf of the banking community and led the effort to transition
from a paper-based payment system to an electronic/computer-based system. The Cleveland Clearing House Association has also
coordinated the philanthropic efforts of member banks by creating a system for the non-profit community to submit project
proposals to the Clearing House to be considered by all member banks for a unified funding decision. The collection consists
of agendas, bank statements, budgets, constitutions, correspondence, financial statements, income tax returns, invoices, legal
briefs and opinions, lists, magazine articles, memoranda, minutes, newspaper clippings, notes, press releases, proposals,
publications, receipts, reports, resolutions, rules and regulations, a telegram and worksheets.
