Collection Organization
This collection mainly consists of subject folders organized alphabetically. Materials in the collection include correspondence, programs, fliers, newspaper clippings, newsletters, photographs, and other papers, reflecting the range of activities organized by the group in the seventies, eighties, and nineties. Many of the group’s events were about rape awareness and women’s issues on campus. The collection shows changes over time, including new terminology, like womanism. There are no materials directly from the founding of the organization or detailing when or how the organization ended.
Collection size: 3 letter-sized manuscript boxes (1 cubic foot)
