La Crosse Pigeon Fanciers Club Records

Scope and Contents

The collection consists of three main parts: club organization, newspaper clippings and photographs, and show reports.

The club organization section contains the club’s by-laws and constitution, a list of charter members, minutes taken from a few meetings in 1959 and 1961 and some issues of the club’s newsletter from 1983 and 1984.

The newspaper clippings and photographs pertain to club activities and personalities. Only a few of the clippings and photographs are dated and no photographs list the names of the people on them.

The show reports contain information on pigeon shows organized by the La Crosse Pigeon Fanciers Club, including lists of exhibitors, awards given, number and types of birds shown, rules for the shows and judging sheets used.
