Summary: These materials span the years 1973 to 1998, and consist of office files from the Twigs national office and some material from various chapters. For this reason, the collection is only one record series - Series I: General Office Files. Material from standing committees, national and chapter agendas and minutes, the Twig constitution and bylaws, national and chapter directories, correspondence between the national office and chapters, and reports from local chapters to the national office can be found within this collection. Court documents and correspondence concerning the demise of the King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and Trenton, New Jersey, chapters can also be found here.
The Twigs mothers' club was founded in Yeadon in 1948 as "an association whose objective is to encourage and foster mental, physical, social and cultural development of the children who are members." Its eight founding members were Marion Beckett, Clara Bostic, Evelyn Brown, Margaret Carpenter, Ersula Hawkins, Frances Murray, Lillian Reid, and Mary Varleck. Today, Twigs Inc. is national in scope and sponsors a wide variety of activities within the respective communities of each chapter.
