This series only includes publications of the Delmar Progress Club and contains an incomplete run of the Delmar Progress Club's newsletter and a complete set of the Club yearbook, i.e. 1904 to 2019. Although the newsletter did not initially have a title, by August 1988, it was named Progress in Print. Starting in 2006, receipts for the printing of Progress in Print are included with the newsletters. An issue of the Club yearbook typically contains a message from the Club president, announcements, lists of Club and General Federation of Women's Clubs officers, lists of committees and committee members, a Club calendar, a general Club program, a list of past Club presidents, member phone directory, and standing rules of the Club. Copies of the yearbook may also contain loose documents, i.e. Club by-laws, by-laws revisions, correspondence to the members, dues statements, event invitations, and membership lists.
