About
the Fayetteville Business and Professional Women's Club
Organized
in July, 1919 at St. Louis, Missouri, the National
Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs
is the oldest and largest organization created to promote
the interests of business and professional women. The Fayetteville
chapter was formed in 1924 by Mrs. W.S. Gregson and fourteen
other charter members. Its members supported the public library,
the United Relief Association, the Red Cross, Harmon Playfield,
and various city beautification projects.
About
the Collection
Scrapbooks
pertaining to the Fayetteville Business and Professional Women's
Club were donated by that organization to the University Libraries
periodically from the 1940s through the 1980s. Originally cataloged
in the Arkansas Collection of the Special Collections Department,
the scrapbooks were transferred to the manuscripts division
on September 19, 1986 by Andrea Cantrell, librarian of the Special
Collections Department.
The
scrapbooks were created by the Fayetteville chapter in order
to document the activities of the club. They include newspaper
clippings, photographs, and programs pertaining primarily to
local club events, but state, regional, and national Business
and Professional Women's Club affairs are also included. Scrapbooks
for May 1946 - Dec 1964 are missing.
Prepared by Antony
J. Wappel, Special Collections, University of Arkansas Libraries,
