Administrative and financial records of the Madison History Round Table (MHRT), an organization that meets semi-monthly over dinner to listen to presentations about historical topics, particularly those relating to American military history. The organization's precursor, known as the Madison Civil War Round Table (MCWRT), merged with the Madison Revolutionary War Round Table in 1975 to form the present incarnation. Membership consists of many well-known area residents, including university professors and prominent businesspeople. The majority of the records predate the 1975 merger and thus relate largely to the MCWRT. Located in Box 1, administrative records include correspondence regarding speakers, membership rosters, meeting attendance records, and a list of speakers, which shows that some very prominent historians presented to the group in the 1950s through the 1970s. The organization's newsletter, General Orders, is separately cataloged in the museum's periodical collection and complements this collection with information about officers, meetings, speakers, and activities. Box 2 contains financial records that include bank statements, expense reports, and a description of the treasurer's duties. While scattered, these documents give an idea of the amount of money collected through dues and expended by the MHRT.
