The Portfolio Club is a women's organization that was founded in 1875 in Syracuse, New York.
" ... Women had little opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with other women except for an occasional tea, sewing group or church gathering."Responding to the plight of women in her day, Mary Dana Hicks, an art teacher in the Syracuse City Schools, attended a women's congress in 1875. Miss Hicks and her young art students were impressed by the speeches of such leading feminists as Mary Livermore, Mary Redfield Bagg, and Julia Ward Howe."Most impressive … was the appeal for women to organize into club groups and pursue whatever study or cause they considered important."Shortly after … a group of nine young high school girls met in October, 1875 … and formed a sketching club. The Portfolio Club, as it was called, was said to be one of the first women's clubs in Syracuse and one of the first in the nation. Although it was called the Portfolio Club because of the original study of art, it became more of a general interest club. Topics for study are assigned by the club president each year."(Patricia Corbett, Syracuse Herald Journal, September 26, 1975)
Consisting of about 30 members, the club meets regularly from the first Monday in October to the last Monday in March. Each year new members are recommended and their admission to the club is voted upon by the current membership. Occasionally honorary members have also been selected. Club meetings are held at the homes of members. Chosen at the beginning of the program season, a general topic is broken down into a specific assignment for each club member to research; a paper is presented on a designated date. Ranging over broad fields of interest, yearly themes have covered economics, religion, world culture and science. Often characterized by inventive graphic design, which reflects the changing topics through decades of meeting seasons, programs document the club's officers and membership as well as the meeting schedules and their venues. The club is still active.
The Portfolio Club Records comprises the historical files of the Syracuse, New York women's club. Beginning with the 1888-1889 program year, the meetings of the Portfolio Club have centered around an annual theme.
Arranged chronologically, the collection consists of the Club's incorporation papers, constitution and by-laws, clippings, correspondence, examination questions, memorial tributes, minutes, notes on lectures, annual programs, photographs, and some published material relating to the Club's history. Early minutes from the 1875 to 1884 are not among the Portfolio Club Records.
Supplemental material at the end includes historical items and memorabilia related to the club but not part of the official records: photographs, clippings, material generated for an exhibit on the Portfolio Club in 2008, a collection of papers presented by member Ida Bond at club meetings between 1900 and 1928, and other assorted items.
Material is arranged in chronological order, apart from the supplemental material which is arranged alphabetically.
There are no access restrictions on this material.
