The
Chicago Literary Club
|
|
The Club is a voluntary association of men and
women interested in writing original essays on topics of their own choosing
and in listening to other members present their essays. Meetings are held on
Monday evenings from October through May; one essay is delivered each
evening. Most members are not professional writers, but all are expected to
express themselves competently in English, and to present their essays in
typewritten or printed form to the Secretary for inclusion in the Club
archives. Further
information: chicago.literary.club@gmail.com. Please
submit any queries, errors, and broken links to the webmaster at this address. |

The
Club Archives
primarily consist of papers presented before the Club, and are housed at The
Newberry Library. Most of those papers date from the 1930s, 1940s and later.
Papers available online are listed by subject in the Index of Papers Online. You may search for the papers of a
specific author under the author's name in the Roll of Members. If the paper has the notation (N) following the
date of presentation, it is held in the collection at the Newberry. If it
does not have this notation, the Club does not possess a copy. The Club would be very grateful for
copies of any papers it does not possess--please contact the Webmaster. Copies can be digital or on paper. |
