Title: Federation of Women's Clubs Portraits Collection
Date: 1885-1980

Summary: This collection contains portraits of early individual members of the North Dakota Federation of Women’s Clubs as well as group portraits taken at state conventions. Some of the Sakakawea Junior Girls’ Clubs group portraits are included, as this organization was established by a NDFWC member. Photos of destitute Native American families in the 1940’s are present, probably representing a humanitarian cause of the North Dakota Federation of Women’s Clubs. Members and group photos of other local North Dakota clubs, such as the Shakespearean Club, Current Events Club, and the Alfredian Club are also included in the collection.
