Hello everyone,
I now have nineteen of the twenty-seven boxes completed and I am almost finished with the initial phase of processing the records boxes. I am going to try to work fast next week and may be able to finish up and move on to the next phase in processing the collection. The volume of club records speaks to the club’s longevity within the Claremont community.
It is inspiring to think that a club which began with a few members meeting during the First World War to do Red Cross sewing, knitting, and community service was able to grow in membership and purpose, and endure an entire century. The day the Woman’s Club of Claremont moved out of meeting at member houses and into their new clubhouse was a big event which the ladies recorded in notes and photographs. I have included more images found in a record book titled, Woman’s Club of Claremont 1924 – 1944, for your consideration.
