AGI-015-15                                   Boliv-Aires Collection
This collection consists of two scrapbooks, several programs, pictures, sheet music, etc., from the Sweet Adelines group The Boliv-Aires. The Boliv-Aires was established in January 1961, and presented their “Charter Night “ program in October. The group disbanded in the 80s.  This collection was in the possession of Susan Hilty, who, with the consent of other members, gifted it to the library.
