National Board predecessors and formation of National Board, 1876-1961.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84462658

The collection contains primarily conference and convention proceedings of the International Board of Women's and Young Women's Christian Associations and of the American Committee of Young Women's Christian Associations prior to their merger in 1906. Proceedings of the conferences and conventions of the two individual organizations concern their work and organizational policies, procedures, and philosophy. Records also reflect the decisions leading up to and the motivation behind the union. Grace Hoadley Dodge, a New York philanthropist who had done much work in organizing programs for the welfare of women, was instrumental in bringing together the two organizations and became president of the newly merged National Board. Much of the correspondence is with Grace Dodge. Other important correspondents are Mrs. J.S. Griffith, Annie M. Reynolds, Mrs. Frank Thurston, Margaret MacKinlay, Harriet Taylor, Emma Hays, J. Ellen Foster, and Olivia Phelps Stokes. Other material in the collection contains National Board and YWCA of the U.S.A. legal documents, 1907-1961.
