Druzea Club Records

Scope and Content

The Druzea Club Records (1937-1987) contain textual materials which document the history of the club’s volunteer and community service activities as well as the active role the group played within the Washington State Federation of Women’s Clubs. 

The materials primarily consist of club scrapbooks which are organized chronologically.  Scrapbooks contain numerous clippings from the Bellingham Herald and the Washington Clubwoman regarding the activities of the club, certificates of award from the Washington State Federation of Women’s Clubs, photographs of club members, thank you letters to the club, yearly membership and officers lists as well as numerous ephemera from various functions and gatherings.  The scrapbooks were kept in a very orderly condition and offer researchers a detailed glimpse into the annual activities of the club from its inception in 1937 until 1968.  The materials also offer a look at the thoughts and concerns of socially active women in Washington state as well as the role of women in society.

The collection also contains materials relating to the Washington State Federation of Women’s Clubs of which the Druzea Club was an active part.  These materials include Bellingham-hosted convention booklets, club bylaws, a 1986-87 directory and speech and communication help-manuals.  These materials can help in the establishment of the connection between the Druzea Club and the umbrella organization of the Federation.
