Club Histories and History Notes
Scope and Contents
Series I, Administrative Records, contains documents related to the organization, administration, and history of the Monday Evening Club, dating from its founding to the current time. The most complete record of the club’s activities appears in the club meeting minutes which begin in 1869. Also present is Correspondence spanning the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, primarily that sent between the club secretary and members; the former is sparse in the earliest years, and the latter includes quantities of printed-out email. The bulk of Other Papers is ephemera kept on various club members, and historical material on four other literary and social clubs active in Hartford: Friday Morning Club; Gilpin’s; Saturday Morning Club; and Twilight Club.
