Soroptimist International of Phoenix collection, 1936-1999 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/692226455

The collection was well organized when it was donated. Original order has been preserved. There are some gaps in the organizational minutes. The core of the records, Board of Directors and Business meeting minutes and financial records document the club's extensive local charitable work, and the gradual transition of the small active club to a larger, more complex organization. Noteworthy is the International Goodwill and Understanding Committee file (Box 1, Folder 39) relating to relief efforts to the Netherlands in 1945-1946 directly following the end of World War II. It contains correspondence from Dutch members describing hardships and living conditions during the WWII German occupation.
