Records of the Shakespeare Club

The Shakespeare Club was founded in 1879 at the suggestion of Professor J.H. Young of Indiana Normal School and has operated continuously since that time. It is the oldest social and literary organization of Indiana, PA. Several prominent community leaders maintained a membership in the club in the hopes of facilitating more effective communication between the community and the school.

The collection, which dates from 1879 to 1992, includes club yearbooks and membership lists, financial records, meeting minutes and a history of the club that was written by one of its members. Of particular note are two photograph albums which contain studio portraits of many notable professors who taught at the Normal School and several community leaders who were members of the club.
