President's Project: Turning Memories Into Memoirs, 1990

 File — Box: 9
Identifier: SERIES I

Scope and Content Note

From the Collection:

This collection is comprised of three series. The first series, Administrative Records, is comprised of various records maintained by the federation president and administrative assistants. These records not only document the administrative history but also the myriad of social and political concerns expressed by the federation. There is insightful information about the organization and activities of local clubs. Most of the records date from the early 1950s when the federation showed signs of growing and later fading in statewide influence with the closure of many local women's clubs. Of particular importance are minutes, yearbooks (annual and biennial reports), histories, and the Wyoming Clubwoman, the newsletter of the federation.

The second series deals with records sent to the federation from the national organization, the General Federation of Women's Clubs. Again, most of the records date from the 1950s, and reflect the social concerns of the time with regard to communism and family values. This series also contains some, but not inclusive run of national newsletters and periodicals.

The third series consists of records from local clubs, including minutes, constitution and bylaws, programs, and scrapbooks.
