Condition: Black cloth front and rear boards attached with black cloth string have gold gilt text to front board with slight coloration blemishes to both back and front. Rivets on boards hold in place approximately 60 issues of newsletters. It maybe that some of the issues have tears where the three holes were punched for insertion, but they are not apparent from the outside. All binding staples are in place with earlier issues having more pages. Age tanning throughout. Each publication included is in very good condition with no tears, chips, or previous owner marks. These newsletters with stories, happenings across the state, and including advertisements, are a time capsule into a bygone time period in Colorado history.

On April 5, 1895, five Federated Denver clubs issued a call to all women’s clubs throughout the state to meet in Denver and form the Colorado Federation of Women’s Clubs. Thus, The Colorado State Federation of Women’s Clubs was formed to coordinate the activities of women’s literary and educational clubs. The Federation involved itself with penal reform, child protection, and other reforms as well as its original literary purpose. The Colorado Federation of Women’s Club Collection is held at the University of Colorado Libraries, Rare and Distinctive Collections.
