This collection documents the history and activities of the Mountwaybia Club of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, through the group's constitution, by-laws, history, minutes, photographs, membership rolls, scrapbook, yearbooks, publications, and correspondence. ‡b From its founding in 1924, the Mountwaybia Club has maintained records of the group's history and activities. The club history begins with the first meeting in 1924 and continues through 2000. In the early years, the history volumes contain detailed hand-written descriptions of club meetings including summaries of the books and topics discussed. Correspondence, newspaper clippings and other materials are also inserted in these volumes. From 1966 through 1987, the history volumes consist primarily of newspaper clippings regarding the club's activities supplemented by program announcements and photographs. Beginning in 1989 and continuing through 2000, the club history is composed of printed announcements of meeting topics plus officer and member names and numerous photographs. During the same period that the club history was being maintained, minutes of each meeting were also prepared. In the early years, the minutes focused on discussions and actions taken at business meetings with brief mentions of the report or research paper presented to the members. From approximately the late 1950s through the present, the minutes include summaries of both actions taken at the business meeting and of the books or topics discussed as part of the program. The photograph collection includes studio portraits of many club members as well as snapshots of club meetings and activities. From 1924 through 1952, a volume listing the membership, the topics of each year's meetings, and each member's individual assignments was maintained in addition to the information on those topics provided in the minutes and history. The collection also includes a roster detailing attendance at meetings from 1989 through 2004. The scrapbook documents the activities of the club and of club members from 1999 through 2008. It includes photographs of activities, newspaper articles about the organization and about individual members and copies of the club yearbook for 2002/2003, 2005/2006 and 2007/2008.
