Abstract: |
The Research Club of Cleveland was a woman's social and study club in Cleveland, Ohio, which included bi-weekly luncheon meetings at members' homes, with yearly meetings centered around specific topics. The majority of members were retired or former school teachers. The club was founded in 1895 as the Avery Literary Circle, became the Minerva Literary Club by 1898, and the Research Club in 1905. It disbanded in 1959 due to the declining health and age of the members. The collection consists of minutes, annual reports, yearly program booklets containing topics, names and addresses of members, constitutions and bylaws of the club, newspaper articles about the club, correspondence, and attendance lists. |
