The collection consists primarily of records created and kept by long-time state officer Mary Money Eggert. Records include scrapbooks of clippings, photographs, convention programs, and information on activities such as essay contests and day camps; annual reports from local chapters; minute books; and other records. A few files pertain to the Wisconsin Legion's parent body, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Wisconsin. |
