Tuesday Club (Davenport, Iowa)

Tuesday Club records 1892-1992.

3 boxes (1.2 cubic feet)

collection organized into 2 series arranged chronologically, with undated papers filed at the end.

The Constitution and Programs series includes copies of the Club's constitution published at intervals during the past 100 years, as well as a nearly complete collecion of annual programs. There is a gap in the programs from 1893-1896, 1898-1899, and from 1910 to 1916. A few programs are missing from later years as well. The Papers consist of some of the papers presented during the Club's more recent history. The earliest paper available was presented on 17 May 1955. The papers are not complete and should be considered a representative sample of the kinds of issues and topics to which club members were exposed. A small section of miscellaneous materials follows the papers.

The Tuesday Club, a women's study club, was founded on 4 March 1892 in Davenport. The original purpose as a literary club remains today. Each member is required to write a research paper and read it to the Club once every three or four years. Notable past members include Alice French (Octave Thanet) and Susan Glaspell.
