1917 Wennerberg Chorus tour, 1916-1917

The Wennerberg Chorus records, 1901-1933 and undated, contains materials spanning most of the existence of the Wennerberg Chorus, including meeting minutes, membership lists, correspondence, receipts, treasury books, programs, photographs, and clippings. Materials have been arranged into five series: Administration, Financial records, Programs, Newspaper clippings, and Photographs.

The records in the Administration series (1901-1926 and undated) include meeting minutes, membership lists, and correspondence. The Financial records series (1902-1922) contains receipts and other records of financial transactions, financial reports, and audits. The Programs series (1902-1933 and undated) contains event programs and tour schedules. The Newspaper clippings series (1903-1933 and undated) primarily includes clippings that were pasted into a page of a scrapbook. It is unknown to whom the scrapbook belonged. Due to the preservation challenges involved in preserving the clippings, the originals were photocopied onto acid-free paper and then discarded. The Photographs series (1903-1917) contains seven group photographs of the Wennerberg Chorus. One of the images is a half-tone copper relief plate used for relief prints. This plate would have been mounted on a wood block and used to produce multiple letterpress copies of the image. The 1917 Wennerberg Chorus tour series (1916-1917) contains correspondence about the group's 1917 tour, schedules, and itineraries.
