Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The records of the Fine Arts Club of Fargo, North Dakota can be loosely categorized in three general areas: records pertaining to the club as a whole, those pertaining to the nine individual sections of the club, and scrapbooks. The scrapbooks category, which also contains photo albums, contains both general scrapbooks and those associated with a particular section. The earlier donation of club records was processed as Mss 34. Consult the separate finding aid to that collection regarding its contents. The General Club Materials Series consists of treasurer’s reports, check registers, account books, proposed budgets, tax returns, annual reports, president’s reports, Board of Directors meeting minutes, annual booklets, correspondence and care taker agreements. The treasurer’s reports cover the years 19481956 and 1967-1978. Three volumes of check registers cover the years 1948-1972. The account book tracks dues paid from 1955-1986.
