There is also a notebook, alphabetically arranged, listing pictorial material used in the exhibit and for which pictures are not on file. The printed materials and photographs, except those pertaining to Savannah homes and buildings that were featured in the "Pictorial Review of Savannah..." have been placed with other such collections in the Georgia Historical Society Library. Of the papers comprising the collections of the Savannah Historical Research Association (Box 9), the first 8 folders contain papers given to the Association but not marked as read at meetings. They are in alphabetical order by author. Most of the printed programs included in this collection are of Savannah performances. Of special interest are a Savannah Theater performance, 1842, on silk; the Saturday Club, 1894-1897; Savannah Music Club, 1900-1904, 1922, with by-laws of 18986-1897; Kimball House Concert (Atlanta), 1881; Art Loan Exhibit of the Woman's Club, 1904; and the Savannah Town Theater, 1934.
