Historical materials include a press scrapbook of newspaper clippings (1959-1968), loose newspaper clippings (1950-1964) and one Silver Jubilee History (1939). In addition to the collection, there are also non textual records including the President’s official pin, die of the Club’s crest and an official Club’s stamp.
