The Cosmos Club is a men's social and intellectual club. It was founded in Savannah, Georgia in 1916 and is still in existence. Membership is by invitation and each member must, from time to time, deliver scholarly papers at the club meetings. The club meets monthly, except for the summer months.
This collection is divided into two series. Series 1 contains minutes from meetings, correspondence, and membership lists of the Cosmos Club of Savannah, Georgia from 1933-1937, 1948-1980. Series 2 contains copies of some of the scholarly papers presented to the club by its members beginning in 1944. The collection is arranged chronologically and those papers without dates are in the beginning.
Note: When originally processed in 1983, each item in the collection was numbered 1-131. The collection was not put in chronological order. New items have been added since then and the entire collection reprocessed. The collection is now in chronological order. The new items have not been numbered.
