1898-1982

Records of a women's reading club in Chicago, founded in 1898 to foster continued interest in the literature of Scandinavia and particularly of Norway. At bi-weekly meetings, the members reviewed and read aloud parts of books which were being discussed. In addition, the club was often engaged in charitable enterprises with financial gifts to the Norwegian homes for the aged in the area and to the Chicago Day Nursery. Includes correspondence, letters to and from members, typically either Christmas letters or acknowledgements of donations.
