Additional organizational histories in the form of first-hand accounts are also included (#22.4-22.5). Conference material, yearbooks, by-laws, and standing rules of the Association of Junior Leagues, Inc. and the Association of Junior Leagues International, provide insight into the League's governance. Also included are numerous awards, certifications, and citations; invitations and program flyers related to special events and fundraising activities; and president's reports.
