The WEA's meeting records consist of twelve volumes of meeting minutes. The
first volume begins in 1871 with the Committee on the Better Education of
Women, the early group of women gathered by Melusina Fay Peirce and Charlotte
F. Buck Brooks, who came together in Dec. 1871 with the idea of forming an
organization for improving the education of women. In early Jan. 1872, they
voted to call themselves the Woman's Education Association, and the first
meeting for public attendance was held on 16 Jan. 1872 at Wesleyan Hall on
Bromfield Street in Boston. The group voted to disband at the recommendation of
the Executive Committee in Nov. 1928, and the last meeting was held on 17 Jan.
1929.
