Custodial history

Nellie Lawson, Chairman of Public Affairs for Zonta Club of Regina, donated some of these records to the Regina Office, Saskatchewan Archives, in two accessions in 1977 and 1978: R77-196 (July 5, 1977); and R78-439 (September 29, 1978). Nelle Balkwill, Canada Week Chairman and Zonta Club of Regina member, donated some of these records to the Regina Office, Saskatchewan Archives, in two accessions in 1979 and 1980: R79-356 (October 23, 1979); and R80-558 (August 04, 1980). Ruby Apperley, former President of Zonta Club of Regina, donated some of these records to the Regina Office, Saskatchewan Archives, in one accession in 1992: R92-036 (March 13, 1992).

Scope and content

This fonds consists of records created, accumulated and used by members of the Zonta Club of Regina from 1976 through its dissolution in 1987. The records are mainly essay submissions from senior citizens that relate their experiences as pioneers, which were entered into a contest the Zonta Club of Regina sponsored and promoted annually during Canada Week from 1976 through 1981. Most of the entrants were women, and the submissions were subsequently donated to Saskatchewan Archives, providing a valuable contribution to the history of the nation, and to women's history. Two of the entries are recounted by audiotape. The fonds also includes administrative material related to: the delegation of executive sent to the Zonta International Convention in 1986; the dissolution of the Zonta Club of Regina in 1987; and the launch of the X-Z (ex-Zontians) service club in 1987.
