The Florida Home Economics Association Records are historically significant because they document the history of a statewide professional organization that developed instructional programs for families and institutions for the purpose of improving living conditions and homemaking. Significant individuals cited in the collection include Margaret Sandels, Dean of the Florida State College for Women/Florida State University School of Home Economics, Ruth O'Connor, FSCW Professor of Home Economics, and Boletha Frojen, Florida State Supervisor of Home Economics Education. FHEA materials include correspondence, financial records, membership records, meeting minutes, publications, and reports kept by FSCW faculty active in the Florida Home Economics Association. There are also student papers, most of which are closed because they contain confidential grade information.
