Hello Everyone, I have managed to get quite a bit done this week. I have completed entering all the note headings into ArchiveSpace and transferred the series scope and content notes into them.
I am working on the biographical history of the Woman’s Club of Claremont to enter into ArchiveSpace and hope to have it completed by next Tuesday. In researching the Club’s history for the narrative, I came across some interesting information. The women first purchased their clubhouse, known as the Elegant Lady, in 1925 through fundraising efforts, donations from the townspeople of the city of Claremont, and a loan procured from Claremont First National Bank. Twenty-five years later the women celebrated their silver anniversary by having a grand jubilee which culminated with the original Club President Mrs. Hill and the then President Mrs. Kennard burning the paid-in-full mortgage.
The event was recorded in the local newspaper and a toast and response was recited at the celebration commemorating the club, and the original thirteen members that brought the dream of the Woman’s Club of Claremont into reality. Take a look at the images below.
Have a great weekend!
