Woman's Christian Temperance Union (Burgoon, Ohio) records

The records of the Burgoon, Ohio Woman's Christian Temperance Union consists of minutes, financial records, convention programs, pamphlets and flyers, handbooks and newspaper articles. The records date from 1935 to 1960. The most complete records series are the minutes which date comprehensively from 1935 to 1960. From 1935 to 1949, the minutes are formally written and complete, providing information on programs and discussions held, convention reports, attendance and dues records, and cooperative events with other women's groups in Burgoon. After 1949, the minutes are in the form of small spiral notebooks which include meeting and planning notes, most likely taken by the President or the Secretary.

Most of the financial information is included within the minutes, however there also is an expenditures and receipt ledger dating from 1950-1964. A few convention programs, mostly from WCTU county and state conventions, are found in the collection and date in very scattered fashion from 1929-1946. The rest of the collection includes pamphlets, news articles and handbooks from the state and national WCTU.
