The Fortnightly Club was founded by Mrs. Frances W. Wickes to study English literature. It was the first organization in Montana to function as a literary circle. The collection (1890-2015) consists of incoming correspondence, financial records, minutes, organizational records, miscellany, attendance records, outlines of study, programs, histories of the club, a developing scrapbook, and clippings.

The Homer Club of Butte, Montana, was organized in 1891 by Nettie E. Casper and named for the classical Greek author. Included in the records are minutes (1898-1970), yearbooks (1895-1984), constitutions, instructions, and miscellany.
