Historical Note

The Authors Club was organized in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1893. Its original object was to "form a club for the study of the works of the best authors." The club has expanded this to establishing traveling libraries, helping in war relief activities, and offering a free kindergarten, as well as being involved with Utah women political groups. Membership in the club is generally limited to those from prominent Salt Lake City families.
