Papers relating to and produced by the Clare Association, an alumni organisation for former Clare students.

Administrative / Biographical History

The Clare Association was founded in 1923 and remained independent for many years, arranging annual dinners, usually in London, and producing a regular alumni publication, the Clare Association Annual (CAA). The committee functions of the Association were absorbed by the College Development Office in the mid-2000s, when an Alumni Council was set up. The Council comprises representatives for each matriculation year tasked with liaising between the members of their year and the Development Office, and a Fellow of the College still acts as Secretary of the Association.
