Abstract:

The records of the Twentieth Century Club, a women's civic organization founded by eight women on April 29, 1901, in La Crosse, Wisconsin, to discuss the arts and to support charities, education and social reform. Later that year, it became associated with the State Federated Women's Clubs. Records consist primarily of minutes, programs, and scrapbooks; the latter include newspaper clippings, photographs, ephemera and original watercolor drawings. Annual reports and other reports are included in the minutes and occasionally in the scrapbooks. The photographs include images of meetings and performances put on by the club.
