Leader Mailing, Sep 1993-Dec 1998

This collection consists of the historical collections of the four progenitor councils of the Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois (GSNI). Because of this, the collection contains different materials from these four councils. They do share similar categories of items however, so the breakdown of the council holdings is reflected at the sub-series level. Two of the councils that now make up GSNI went by different names in the past but this is not reflected... at every level of the collection. Sybaquay Council was formerly Elgin Council and Rock River Valley Council was formerly Rockford Council.

A large portion of the collection was in the form of scrapbooks, but most of these did not have titles. A high proportion of the Sybaquay council scrapbooks were assigned an accession number by the Sybaquay volunteers who collected these scrapbooks before they were donated to the Regional History Center. No list of these accession numbers was included with the collection but the numbers have been preserved in this finding aid for potential reference.
