Woman's Christian Temperance Union Series
Scope and Contents
Annual meeting minutes/reports, 1874-1934; correspondence and historical files, 1858-1933, n.d.; scrapbooks, 1857-1898; and minute books of various local W.C.T.U. organizations in Michigan.
The Woman's Christian Temperance Union papers are Series III of a twenty-one-series microfilming project done between 1975 and 1977 with the cooperation of three repositories holding significant papers relating to temperance and prohibition: the Michigan Historical Collections (Ann Arbor), the Ohio Historical Society (Columbus), and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (Evanston, Illinois). The project resulted in 426 reels of microfilm, of which the Billy Graham Center Archives purchased 198. See also collections 64, 66, and 67, other series in the Papers.
The series is described in detail in the Guide to the Microfilm Edition of Temperance and Prohibition Papers (Ann Arbor: The University of Michigan, 1977), pages 55-100. An index to selected correspondents begins on page 95.
See Guide to the Microfilm Edition of Temperance and Prohibition Papers, page 239ff. This book is located in the Reading Room, topical shelf DD. Users should also read the "Note to Researchers," page xv, prior to actual research.
