The Business and Professional Women's Club of Milwaukee records document the organization's role in improving the conditions for working women through education, participation in community affairs and legislative action. Covering the years 1920-1998, the collection contains an almost complete run of the organization's newsletters, the Bulletin (1922-1948) and the Broadcaster (1948-1998), as well as executive committee minutes, committee reports and correspondence files; these files comprise the bulk of the collection. Also included, but to a lesser extent, are membership lists, handbooks, by-laws, annual report files and histories compiled for anniversary celebrations. The collection's photographs document the club's activities and members. Subject files also contain specific information regarding the organization's efforts to secure passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, influence state legislation, and its role in founding the Milwaukee Art Museum War Memorial Center.
