The Quest for Knowledge Club is an organization in Bozeman, Montana which provides a forum "for the purpose of fostering specialized, intellectual discussion and thought." The Q K Club was established in 1921 by Dr. Alfred Atkinson, Rev. R.P. Smith, M.L. Wilson and others. The club's bylaws have kept membership capped at around 25 selected professionals from the Gallatin area. The club has provided a forum where Montana State University professors and local businessmen and professionals could gather to discuss the issues of the day, aspects of an individual's professional expertise, philosophy, theology, and other intellectual pursuits. The club has met between 6 and 8 times a year since 1921. The club's year begins in the fall, during October, and it ends in the spring generally around March or April. At each meeting a research paper is delivered by a club member followed by criticisms of the paper prepared by selected members.

The QK Club papers consist of the club's bylaws, meeting minutes, membership records, yearly bulletins and the papers and criticisms presented at their meetings.

The Bylaws series contains a copy of the original bylaws drafted in 1921. Any changes in the bylaws can be found in the Minutes. The series of membership records gives a listing of which Bozeman professionals became members of the club and how often they attended meetings. It also gives an accounting of the club's finances. The collection of printed materials contains the club's program bulletins and club news clippings. The program bulletins are complete and give a listing of how often the club met during the year and of what papers were to be delivered by selected members. The final series of papers contains many of the papers delivered at the meetings as well as the criticisms which followed. The topics of the papers include history, theology, medicine, and politics. While the collection of QK Club papers is extensive, it is not quite complete.

Within the Presentation and responses series, a response is missing from the "A Selection of Confections on Corrections" presentation. The missing response was authored by Jim Dolan. A copy of this response can be found on the CD-R entitled QK Presentations 2012-2013.
