Biographical / Historical
The BGSU Women’s Basketball Scrapbooks were created by Susan M. Shunk, a resident of Bowling Green, Ohio, and devoted Falcons fan. Her interest in women’s basketball began in the fall/winter of 1966 when she watched a friend play for coach Dorothy Laedtke. Her documentation of the BGSU Women’s Basketball team began with the 2006-2007 season when more coverage of the team became available. Ms. Shunk is a graduate of the University of Toledo and BGSU and taught for 35 years in the Toledo Public Schools.

During processing, the contents were removed from the binders and placed into archival folders and boxes. The box inventory reflects both the chronological time period represented by each folder as well as the placement of the folder in terms of the entire collection (indicated by book and part numbers). There is occasionally some overlap between the time periods covered by the books, as noted in the box inventory.
