Scope and content
Series consists of the Club’s promotional materials such as pamphlets, program guides, flyers, and information guides, as well as radio and news media releases. There are also newspaper clippings written mostly by former Club members George W. North and R. H. Westmore, as well as clippings pertaining to the publication of Birds of Hamilton and Surrounding Areas. The series also includes publication materials such as correspondence regarding articles for publication in The Wood Duck (the Club’s newsletter), as well as correspondence and documentation about the Club’s Naturally, Hamilton! publication. The series also contains manuscript copies of published articles written by various members, some of which were published in various newspapers such as the Dundas Banner, the Hamilton Spectator and the Club's newsletter, The Wood Duck. There is also a manuscript of bird songs compiled by long-time member Anna McLoghlin.
