| 520 | |a The Malta Boat Club records consist of administrative and financial records related to the club and its auxiliary social organization, the Willows Association. Series 1, Administrative records (1870-2020, undated) consists of committee documents and reports, correspondence, membership documents, meeting notices and newsletters, minutes, legal and property records, and records of the Willows Association of the Malta Boat Club. Series 2, Financial records (1867-1991, undated) consists of account books, treasurer’s ledgers, bonds, general financial documents, treasurer’s files and reports, and paid bills. There is considerable overlap between the treasurer’s files and paid bills files because the club’s filing scheme has been maintained through collection processing. Series 3, Miscellaneous (1894-2006, undated) is a very small series mostly comprised of documents related to the Schuylkill Navy and the Rowing News (1954-1958). There are a few clippings, business cards, and other odd documents. | ||

| 545 | |a Malta Boat Club is an amateur rowing club located on Boathouse Row in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The club was founded as the Malta Barge Club in 1860 by members of the Minnehaha Lodge (Philadelphia) of the Sons of Malta, a fraternal order active in the mid-19th century. The club's colors are royal blue and white, and its symbol is the Maltese cross (white cross on a blue, square background). Malta Boat Club's membership currently includes several prominent businessmen, doctors, lawyers, educators, priests, and students. Former members include U.S. boxing and wrestling champions, a congressman, a Philadelphia district attorney, and Olympians. The club's original home and storage location for its six-oared barge "Minnehaha'' was a house on Smith Island in the Delaware River, somewhat in line with Chestnut Street. The club reorganized and moved to the east side of the Schuylkill River above the Spring Garden Street dam in 1863. Two years later, Malta Boat Club joined the Schuylkill Navy and acquired the Excelsior Club's clubhouse on Boathouse Row. Malta and neighboring Vesper Boat Club joined together to build a new boathouse at this location in 1873. Originally one and a half stories, the Malta side of the boathouse was expanded in 1880. In 1901, George and William Hewitt designed further additions for the boathouse, giving Malta a third story and making it the tallest boathouse on Boathouse Row. | ||
