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.
The Authors Club records (1893-2012) consist of minute books, annual histories, yearbooks, and some general materials surrounding one of the longest running women's clubs in Utah.
