Series I documents the origins and administration of Reid Hall as the American University Women's Paris Club prior to 1966. In 1922 Elisabeth Mills Reid (Mrs. Whitelaw) donated her house to the club, and it became a residential center for women studying and traveling abroad. Meeting minutes of the club's board and executive committees from 1919-1928 show the operational and funding priorities of Reid Hall in its early years. In 1929 a new body, Reid Hall Inc., was established to take over governance of Reid Hall. Series I contains the board meeting and annual meeting minutes of Reid Hall, Inc. from most years between 1929 and 1964. It also includes documents related to the transition of Reid Hall to Columbia University between 1964 and 1966 and correspondence with donors and members.
