Series 6: Programs, 1895-Ongoing
Scope and Contents note
The club has met monthly or more often since the start with programs built around a talk or exhibit. Through much of its history these were dinner meetings, but since 1992 a second, luncheon meeting has been usual. The annual Christmas Revels (inaugurated in 1939) include lighter entertainment and in some years an auction of books. Occasional programs and offsite visits are arranged in Series 9 and 17. Videos of most of the programs since 1997 have been videotaped, and they are available for viewing in the Special Collections Reading Room (appointment required). See Series 19: Audiovisual, for a list of available titles.
