Wilmington Rotary Civic Involvement, 1953-1954
Scope and Contents
This collection contains the archive of the Wilmington Rotary Club, established in 1915. The original donation of materials were collected, organized, and maintained by long time Rotary member, Herman Blizzard.

Blizzard also kept personal files related to Rotary including letters, cards, newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, artifacts, documented histories of district and regional clubs, and membership files. Since the transfer of archive to Special Collection in 2002, the club has routinely made additions to the collection.
