Scope & content

Women and Men of Brown University records contain the administrative records of the Brown University society (first called Ladies of the Faculty and then Women of Brown, before assuming the current name in 2006) from 1924 through 2010. Begun as a social group for faculty wives, it has expanded to include all members of the Brown Community and the collection reflects its growth.

The records are arranged in two series. Series I, Women of Brown, contains general meeting minutes for 1924-1969; minutes of the Brunonia Garden Club for 1933-1983; records of the Post-Sepia Club for 1951-1961. Also in this series are officers' records and documents for various time periods between 1924 and 2005.

Series II, Women and Men of Brown, contains board and committee records and financial documents, as well as bylaws, historical accounts, photographs, interest group documents, newsletters, correspondence and event accounts that date from 2006 to 2010.
