Scope and Contents
This collection documents the student activities, clubs, and honorary societies at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Since the establishment of the University in 1908, clubs and student activities have been founded and faded out throughout the decades. These folders highlight many of the University's older clubs that are no longer active such as the Home Economics Club, the Cavalry Club, etc. These folders contain a variety of documents from promotional event flyers to club constitutions, and photographs. Depending on the club, there is more documentation. The majority of clubs established before the technological advancements of the 1990s have many physical club records. These records include but are not limited to, minutes, presidential records, treasurer records, receipts, etc. Clubs established within the 1990s and to the present have less physical documentation. The oldest records with a recorded date are from the 1940s with the most recent records being from the current year of 2023. Within this collection are folders for materials from undergraduate honor societies such as Chi Beta Phi (Science Honorary), Kappa Omicron Phi (Home Economics), Mu Phi Epsilon (Music), etc. This collection continues to develop as new student organizations are formed and clubs and honorary societies promote events and activities each semester.
