Title
A Guide to the Woman's Club of Roanoke Collection
Description
The collection consists of club yearbooks spanning from the 1920s through the 1970s (not inclusive), which were given to the library over the years by various donors, and a club scrapbook for the years 1962-64, which had been in the possession of Lucille Woody Creasy Anderson (1913-2006), Mrs. Roy V. Creasy, who was president of the Woman’s Club of Roanoke during those years.
The yearbooks include lists of officers, committee chairs, and members; the club constitution and by-laws; a history of the prior year’s activities; and a program for the coming year’s activities. Some include photographs of the club meeting place and club leaders.
The scrapbook documents the club’s and Mrs. Creasy’s activities and district, state, and national events attended, through ephemera, newspaper clippings, correspondence received, and a few photographs (no identification of individuals). Also included in the scrapbook are some of Mrs. Creasy’s hand-written speaking notes, as well as many issues of the club’s monthly newsletter. A digital copy of the scrapbook was made. Many non-newspaper items were loose and were removed from the scrapbook to box 1, folders 1 and 2.
