District 773: Correspondence and Documents, 1981-1989
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. Included are materials related to routine club business including minutes, newsletters, correspondence, financial documents, and photographs. 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. The new materials include artifacts, photographs, correspondence, programs, and other documentation related to current club projects.
