Administrative history
The Cherry River Women's Institute was founded in 1934. Like the other Women's Institutes of Canada, whose motto is 'For Home and Country', this one was concerned with family life in rural regions. The Cherry River Women's Institute was a member of the Sherbrooke County Women's Institutes, the Quebec Women's Institutes, and the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada. Delegates attended the annual meetings of these organizations. As well, the Cherry River Women's Institute organized activities jointly with Macdonald College in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue. Locally, the elected board worked with various committees (Agriculture Home Economics, Education, Citizenship, Welfare and Health, Publicity, Sunshine Communications, International Affairs, Ways and Means) to organize monthly meetings and activities. The latter included lectures; horticultural contests; school fairs; and fund-raising events (sales of cookies, card parties, rummage sales and draws) in aid of the Canadian Red Cross Society, the Canadian Cancer Society, and other humanitarian organizations. The Cherry River Women's Institute was disbanded in 1955.
Custodial history
The documents of the fonds were preserved until 1997 with the archives of the Quebec Women's Institutes at Macdonald College in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, before being transferred to Bishop's University by the Sherbrooke County Women's Institutes after the reoganization of the provincial archives of the Women's Institutes.
Scope and content
The fonds contains source material on the organization, the activities, and the philosophy of the Cherry River Women's Institute from 1934 to 1953. The fonds is comprised of one series: Minutes (1934-1953).
