The Quest for Beauty Club Records contains the financial and administrative records of the organization, which document the members’ outings around Massachusetts focused on fine art appreciation, educational pursuits, social events, and volunteer work. The collection has been divided into two series. As the majority of the collection had no original order, folders have been arranged chronologically within each series.

Series I. Financial Records contains the organization’s checkbooks, receipts, account books, bank statements, and financial reports. The majority of these records were grouped by fiscal year. Some folders contain various types of financial records and have not been altered so as to reflect the organization of the creator. Items containing what appear to be social security numbers have been removed from the original folder and restricted. Papers previously in binders have been placed into folders.

Series II. Administrative Records contains the club’s meeting minutes taken by the recording secretary (most of which are accompanied by corresponding postcards and newspaper clippings attached by the creator), meeting reports specific to the club’s anniversary events, event menus, and handmade event program booklets. Within the meeting minutes, the creator has interspersed a small number of lists of organization by-laws, officer lists, member lists, calendars of events, and short original poems, which have not been removed as to maintain the organizational system of the creator. Items in binders have been placed into folders.
