The records of the Women's Aid consist of copies of minutes collected in the files of the Vice President-Operations. They give a good overview of the functioning of the organization from its inception. Separate series of minutes document the management of the USO lounge in Broad Street Station, Philadelphia (1943-1945), and of the Philadelphia Work Room (1934-1955), where much of the sewing and knitting was done, and where the sewing machines and supplies were stored.
