Historical note: During the Great War of 1914-1919, organizations formed in Canada to support the war effort as well as contending with the human casualties.  Included in these organizations were women’s projects such as sewing circles and other social functions to help incorporate community members while large segments were abroad.  Humanitarian organizations like the Red Cross played a pivotal role in engaging members of the community at home to service those abroad.   

Custodial history: The fonds was donated to University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections in 2007 by Hilary Everitt.
