Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Junior League of Salt Lake City records (1922-2006) contain administrative and financial records, correspondence, board and committee meeting minutes, project and program reports, publicity material, scrapbooks, news clippings, and notebooks. The league is organized into standing committees which direct its ongoing internal affairs and its community activities. The organization also has a number of projects and programs which may last a year or continue for several years. Most of these are under the direction of the Community Vice-President, while the fund raising projects fall under the auspices of the Treasurer. Committee files, program files, and project files typically contain correspondence, progress reports, evaluations, and news clippings. Some of the project files refer to prospective projects which were studied by a committee, then presented to the general membership who voted against supporting the project. An example of one of the League's most successful fund raising projects was the flea market. It was held twice, first in 1967 and again in 1970. This project led to the permanent establishment of the Junior League Shop, which is administered by the standing committee of that name. Records of the flea market can by found in ways and means, flea market, and thrift shop files. The yearbooks provide the single most complete record of the activities of the league. The president and board members provide summaries for this publication. Another excellent source of information about yearly activities is the monthly newsletter, the Bulletin. Yearly scrapbooks are also available.
