Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Norse Club records date from 1930-2009 and measure 18 linear inches. The records are arranged in two series: Administrative Records and General.

The Administrative records include histories of the club, minutes beginning in 1946, treasurerer's reports dating from the 1950s to the early 1990s, and membership lists and programs. Information about the founding and early years of the club can be found in the red 1937-1977 scrapbook in the General series. Also included are questionnaires sent to the club by historian Odd Lovell, a short essay by Terry Tonneson about her Norwegian heritage, and a portion of member Audrey Jordahl's autobiography that concerns her childhood and her service in the WAVES.

The General series consists primarily of information about Norwegian history and culture that were used for presentations at Norse Club meetings. Also included are obituaries of members, photographs, and four scrapbooks that contain photographs, newspaper clippings, and other material by and about the club.
