Records, 1926-1951.

Records of the Church Hill Garden Club include 5 volumes containing membership lists and minutes of meetings, 1926-1951; a few committee and officers' annual reports, 1938-1942; and copies of the constitution and by-laws. Three historical sketches, 1936, 1941, and 1951, summarize the club's various civic and charitable activities, which included economic assistance for the needy during the Great Depression and the establishment of a community center, as well as conservation and beautification projects in Richmond. The group regularly coordinated its activities with the East End Business Men's Club and other civic organizations in the city. In 1932 the club became an affiliate of the Virginia State Federation of Women's Clubs.
