Primarily meeting minutes of the Glenview Woman's Club (sometimes called Glenview Women's Club), first organized on May 14, 1914. Meeting minutes were kept in their original order with most folders in direct chronological order and a few in reverse order. Between 1926 and 1953 meeting minutes include the Corporation minutes as well as those of the club as a whole. Other materials include letters relating to the sale of the clubhouse in 1989, a photograph of the club's founding members, and a club history, "A book of memories," compiled by J. Edith MacNaughton in 1952 which features short historical narratives from many of the club's past presidents. The clippings books also contain club handbooks, which include member directories and treasurer's reports, for the 1926-27 and 1929-30 club years.
