Scrapbooks and papers kept by the members of the Women's Advertising Club from 1927 through 1976. The material provides information on businesswomen during the time, as well as on the club's activities and the advertising industry.

The material in the collection reflects attitudes towards women in business, the effect of the Great Depression and activities in Grand Rapids during World War II. Also of note are items from 1968 reflecting a possible merger with the men's advertising club. Both the women's and the men's attitudes towards the merger are reflected through surveys, notes and other material.

The scrapbooks are arranged as found, which is mostly in chronological order. A history of the organization states that there were two scrapbooks: one from 1927 through 1949, the other from 1950 through the 1970s. The second scrapbook was said to be lost. This collection appears to contain the 1927-1949 scrapbook, plus additional material from the 1950s through 1970s. This additional material may be the lost scrapbook or may be material collected for their 50th anniversary in 1976. The scrapbooks appear to have been combined into one large scrapbook covering the years 1926-1975.
