Outdoors Club, 1978
Scope and Contents
This collection contains records spanning from the 1890s to the 2000s for various student organizations on the Johns Hopkins campus. Types of records vary widely from organization to organization; many include membership lists, posters or announcements, while some also include correspondence. Class records include programs to Class events, especially for the Senior year, while publication records include issues of the publication; records of performing groups consist primarily of programs to their performances.
Unfortunately, records of student organizations are often rather sketchy, many groups having no extant records at all; we only know of their existence through yearbooks or handbooks. In other cases, only the most recent (or oldest) records survive, all others having been discarded at some time. As a rule, the records of student publications tend to be more complete.
