Dutch Treat Club

The Dutch Treat Club was founded in New York, N.Y., in 1905 as an informal social club, meeting weekly, with an annual dinner. Its members were drawn primarily from among practicioners of the creative arts.

The collection consists of a collection of records and video recordings of the Dutch Treat Club. Included are three video recordings of two Dutch Treat Club dinners: one recording of a dinner held on May 1, 1994, as a gala tribute to Kitty Carlisle Hart, and two recordings for the dinner held on May 2, 1995, the club's 90th anniversary. Also present are selected business correspondence (1988-1994), minutes (1987-1995) of the Board of Governors' Meetings, flyers (1964-1995) for their annual dinners, articles by and about Isaac Asimov (Dutch Treat President from 1986 to 1992), membership lists, and miscellaneous papers.

Gift of Edward M. Crane Jr. '1945.
