Scope and Content Note
This collection consists of the records produced by the Euepian Club and consists of the constitution and bylaws, meeting minutes up to January 1939, correspondence & valuable letters, rosters, memorabilia such as 50th anniversary photos and invitation dated 1954, and other records. The Euepian Club was organized in Rock Hill, SC on September 21, 1904, admitted to the City Union of Clubs of Rock Hill, February 1906, and admitted to the State Federation of Women’s Clubs in May 1906. The name of the club comes from the Greek word “eu” (good) and “epian” (words). The club was formed as an “incentive and aid to original research and endeavor in literary fields, and for the pleasure to be derived from the social relations of its members.” This collection can offer prospective researchers a glimpse of the social dynamic of Rock Hillians during the span of this collection.
Provenance
The papers of the Euepian Club of Rock Hill were received from the York County Library, Main via Jason Hyatt as a gift.
