Records, 1890-1984 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/232006568

Minutes, annual reports, day books, photos, scrapbooks, clippings, pamphlets, posters, and invitations comprise the collection. The records are incomplete; there are gaps in the annual reports, 1920-1934 and 1943-1948, and very few records from 1949-1960; much financial information is lacking, and there is almost no correspondence. Also included are reminiscences by Vida Scudder and a 1980 slide show.
