A small Tucson birth control clinic, known as Clinica para Madres or Mother's Clinic, located at 28 E. Corral Street opened in December 1934. Margaret Sanger, pioneer of the birth control movement, offered her support in the establishment of the clinic and its purpose to provide birth control information, products and services for woman. The Tucson birth control clinic changed names and location thru the decades - Planned Parenthood of Tucson, Inc., 1950s to Planned Parenthood Center of Tucson, 1970s and finally to Planned Parenthood of Southern Arizona, serving two locations. This collection contains newspaper clippings, printed ephemera and photographs from the scrapbooks of Planned Parenthood of Tucson, which documents some of the history and people of the organization plus local and world events from 1938 to 1987.
