Title: YWCA of the U.S.A. Records 1860-2002 (bulk 1906-2000)

The Young Women's Christian Association of the USA records consist of 382 reels of microfilm and 570 linear feet of records in original format dating from 1860 to 2002. For the most part, the microfilmed records and the original format records do not duplicate each other and both should be consulted. Types of materials include artifacts, audiovisual materials (including videotapes, audiotapes, and other recordings), conference and convention records, correspondence, legal documents, memorabilia, minutes, newspaper clippings, photographs, posters, program and project files, publications, reports, speeches, and studies. The bulk of the materials date from 1906 to 1970 and focus on the administration of the National Association, its programs and publications, and its relations with its member YWCA's all over the country. Major topics found throughout the records include: employed women, particularly those in industry, interracial relations in the U.S., religion, work with immigrant women, development of girls, and of a youth movement, health and sex education for women, international relations, international work, philanthropy, housing, women in rural America, effective administration of organizations, group work, social work, women's war work, citizenship training, leadership training, and college women. Very few records survive from the period between 1971 and 1987. Included are some records of the two predecessor organizations to the YWCA of the U.S.A., the International Board of Women's and Young Women's Christian Associations (1871-1906), and the American Committee (1886-1906).
