The records of the United Women's Club, 1916-1946, include 5 letters; several revisions of the original 1917 constitution and bylaws; 4 hand-written minute books, 1924-1945; typed minutes for the period 1937-1946; and a membership book. Although fragmentary, these records, especially the minutes, indicate how the club swung from high moral commitments during the first and second world wars to almost exclusively social pursuits in the years between the wars. During the wars, the club participated in war bond drives, supported rationing and conserving fats, and worked to combat such diseases as tuberculosis and cancer.
