Very large book with red covers. In the middle of the front cover is a gold logo with the words "Zonta International", and the words "Zonta 1974" are handwritten in white. The book is loosely wrapped in a plastic cover. Contains various documents related to the Zonta Club of Arlington, founded in 1931, as the local branch of a much larger organization. The scrapbook contains documents starting around 1963 until 1974. In the front of the book is a history of the Arlington club, prepared by one of the members. There are several yearbooks, containing a summary of the club's purpose and symbols, as well as the budget, officers, meeting schedule, and members of the Arlington branch. There are also several programs from Zonta International conventions. There are many photos throughout the scrapbook, taken at meetings, conventions, and other events. Many of them have a month and year, and are labeled with the event they are from, but the people within the photo are rarely labelled. There are also several newspaper clippings about the Zonta club. Many of them are about ordinary club business, including elections and meeting summaries. There are also clippings about events organized by the club, especially a yearly glaucoma clinic. There are also clippings talking about specific members, and some obituaries of former Zonta club members. Several clippings discuss the Zonta Club as a whole, and members outside the local branch. Also includes some documents related to a donation given to the Old Schwamb Mill by the Zonta club. There are several documents related to Amelia Earhart, and awards given in her name. Pages are held in plastic sleeves, and are in generally good condition. 15.25'' (h) x 13.50'' (w) x 3'' (D)
