Sorosis Club (Bowling Green, Ohio) records

The Sorosis collection is largely comprised of meeting minutes which describe in detail the events of each meeting as well as information on the membership of the club. The minutes are complete except for the years from September 1945 through May 1951, September 1985 through May 1994. A second excellent source of information in this collection include the newspaper clippings which provide details on the meeting topics and speakers as well as other club activities. These clippings are fairly complete from 1960 through 1979, with additional clippings attached to the minutes. The program booklets also assist in researching the activities and membership of the club and are fairly complete from 1965 to 2000. Unfortunately, only the 1935/36 and 1943/44 yearbooks are available prior to 1965.

Completing the collection are constitutions, membership records, financial ledger sheets and a few pieces of correspondence. These records add some information to the club's history, but are not as complete as the minutes, newspaper clippings and programs. The collection overall is small in size, but important in providing details as to the history and activities of this woman's organization.
