Sphinx Club papers, 1912-

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/688627964

The collection consists of nine categories: minutes & membership records, correspondence & general financial notes, dinner & reunion correspondence, financial information, specific subject files, photographs, media & artifacts, ritual, recent operational folders, 2000-, oversized biographical sheets on members. Of special interest is the biographical information found on some pages of the Sphinx Record and other membership information pages submitted over the years. Among these other biographical sources are pages from a disassembled book of biographies of all members created circa 1967. The correspondence and financial records of the 1920's were extracted from one letterbox and provide an interesting cross section of letterhead and receipts in the Athens business community of the time. Several fascinating photographs of skits appear in this collection. Modern media is represented by a series of three documentaries on the society, reproduced on DVD.
