Scope & content

These records were kept in two notebooks ("scrapbooks") by the Seven Hills Garden Club (Providence, Rhode Island) librarian and include by-laws, programs, clippings, photographs, some minutes, membership lists, memorial tributes to past members, and reports. In addition to documenting a women's club and the horticultural activities of a number of Providence women over several decades of the twentieth century, this collection provides some information about individual members and about the Rhode Island Federation of Garden Clubs.

The notebooks were disassembled for preservation purposes. Most items remain glued or taped to the pages, some have come loose, and others were not attached originally.
