Title

A Guide to the Blue Ridge Forum Collection

Description

The Blue Ridge Forum was a women’s educational organization, or study club, founded in Roanoke in 1937. Its membership largely came from the Blue Ridge Chapter of the Delphian Society (one of at least four Delphian chapters in Roanoke), whose members disbanded and formed this group. Members studied social and cultural topics, across the United States and worldwide, at times from courses published by the University of North Carolina extension division. Member-led meetings involved discussions based on readings, as well as individual member reports. The group disbanded in 1997.
