Woman's Club of Olympia
Archive Preservation Project

The Woman's Club of Olympia Archive Preservation Project will scan and digitize its extensive written records, and then be available for use on the WHC website. The Woman's Club of Olympia was formed in 1883 and its minutes, reports, and letters have been preserved at the clubhouse which was built in 1908. The WCO is a non-profit organization of volunteer women.
