This series contains constitutions and bylaws of the Women's Missionary Society/Augustana Lutheran Church Women (WMS/ALCW). The records comprise printed booklets containing either ratified or proposed constitution and bylaws, and typewritten copies of constitutions. These records are from approximately 1926 -1958. They include constitutions for synodical, conference, district, and local level societies in addition to constitutions for the Young Woman's Missionary Society, and the Junior Missionary Society. Dated constitutions exist for 1926, 1941, 1944, 1949, 1951, 1952, and 1956. The other constitutions in this series are undated. Gaps in these records may or may not exist depending on when the undated constitutions were adopted. In addition to the adopted constitutions, there are several proposed constitutions and constitutions marked with revisions. In particular there are proposed constitutions for women's organizations under the "Unified Plan." This refers to the movement in the 1950s within the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church to unify all women's organizations at the congregational level into one organization. These proposed constitutions address that new type of organization. Duplicates were removed.
