Scope and Contents
The Webster Homemakers' Club contains original meeting minutes of the organization and membership lists for the early 1990s. The minutes briefly describe the activities of the club and the programs and events the group participated in during their existence from 1964 to 1994. These activities mainly focused on issues concerning homemakers such as "laundrying" and "making the most of your microwave." The club also engaged in making handicrafts. A person studying American domestic life in the late twentieth century would find this collection useful as it explains what women homemakers were interested in learning and knowing about their profession.
