Pacific University Mothers' Club Records
Scope and Contents
This collection includes the meeting minutes and miscellaneous records of the Pacific University Mother's Club from the years of 1933 to 1960. One book seems to be a scrapbook of the club with a number of pasted news clippings and correspondence in addition to the clubs minutes while the other two books belonged to the secretary of the club, so everything in those books is in regards to the clubs monthly meetings, minutes and member lists.
