Series I. ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS, 1971-1991 (#1.1-5.16, E.1)
Scope and Contents
Series I, ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS, 1971-1991 (#1.1-5.16), contains memos, minutes, annual reports, notes, etc., of the Association of American Colleges and the Project on the Status and Education of Women. Many files relate to discussions between 1985 and 1987 about better integrating PSEW into the activities of AAC. These discussions resulted, in 1989, in an AAC decision to re-focus PSEW, with both a new name and a new director. Much of the 1989-1990 material in both subseries relates to this decision and the subsequent staff changes. The series is arranged in two subseries.
