Yearbooks, 1984-1987
Scope and Contents
Each of the yearbooks has the guild’s logo on the front, the period of time it was for, and a piece of weaving made by one of its members taped to the inside of the front cover. The creator is credited, along with the pattern, materials, and colors used. The booklets contain a variety of information about the guild, including: current members, officers, committees, activities, a calendar of events, equipment used, rental equipment opportunities, bylaws, study groups a summary of the guild’s objectives, and member’s dues. There’s even a space in each yearbook for new members to be added, which would presumably be written in by hand until the next year, when their names can be printed. Along with their names, members’ telephone numbers and addresses are included, likely because some study groups were held in members’ homes.
