The Library seeks papers significantly related to Federal government policies and operations in the 1970s, national political affairs in the 1970s, or the lives of Gerald Ford and Betty Ford.

Holdings
During the 1970s, women's economic and civil rights, social role, and political power became a more prominent part of the public agenda. The Ford White House faced these issues in many guises: an Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, development of the first Title IX regulations, military academy admittance, abortion policy, credit and property law reform, for examples. The substantive and symbolic intertwined on such matters as the appointment of women, communication with women voters, and participation in the United Nation's International Women's Year, 1975. First lady Betty Ford was the focus of conflicting reactions and expectations for her candor on social, political, and health issues. Throughout the Ford administration, women office-holders such as Housing Secretary Carla Hills (the first woman appointed to the Cabinet in 20 years) and Bobbie Greene Kilberg (Associate Counsel re school desegregation, terrorism, Secret Service issues) sought to exercise greater power on issues unrelated to gender. These concerns are reflected in numerous subcollections of the Ford Presidential Papers, the Papers of Betty Ford, and the donated personal papers of former administration officials.

The Department of Special Collections and University Archives holds notable collections, comprising over 100 cubic feet, that document the contributions of Catholic women in promoting basic human rights, interracial justice, women's rights, and world peace, and in responding to the immediate needs of the poor. These include the records of the Institute of Women Today (1974-), the National Coalition of American Nuns (1969-), and the Women's Ordination Conference (1975-), and the personal papers of Dorothy Day (1897-1980) and Sr. Margaret Ellen Traxler (1924-2002). (The Dorothy Day-Catholic Worker Collection also includes the papers of other women involved in the Worker movement, and records of CW communities that serve homeless and imprisoned women.)

Also significant are the records of the Sister Formation Conference (1952-1976), in its inception a "grassroots" movement for the renewal of congregations of women religious that anticipated and fostered the reforms associated with Vatican II, and the National Sisters Vocation Conference (1967-1987), which promoted a "post-conciliar" conception of religious vocation. The SFC changed its name to the Religious Formation Conference in 1976, to reflect the addition of men formation personnel to its membership. Similarly, the NSVC merged with the National Religious Vocation Conference. Personal papers of Sr. Ritamary Bradley (1916-2000)and Sr. Annette Walters (1910-1978), early leaders of the Sister Formation movement, are included in the SFC/RFC Records.

Substantial material pertaining to women's history is also included in other manuscript collections and the records of Marquette University. For an overview of these holdings, see http://www.marquette.edu/library/collections/archives/women.html.

Of particular interest are the papers of women whose public or private lives shed light on or have affected the public life of the state. Organization records collected are those of statewide membership or interest. Current efforts are underway to collect oral histories and papers of women and men in North Carolina who served during 20th-century wars, and papers of women and men who studied or taught at Black Mountain College.

Holdings
Total holdings: 36,000 cu. ft. of records and papers; 30,000 reels of microfilm. Inclusive dates: 1663- Description: In addition to the official records of the colony and state of North Carolina and its counties, dating from the 17th through the 20th centuries, there are private papers of approximately 2,000 North Carolina families or individuals, ranging in date from the 18th through the 20th centuries. Additionally, there are papers from more than 200 organizations dating from the late 19th through the 20th centuries. Records and papers created by women or relating to them will be found throughout state records, local records, private papers, and organization files. (The earliest will in the colony, dating from 1664, is that of a woman. Excluding the private family papers in which women naturally figure as wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters, there are more than 100 collections of private papers of which women were sole or co-creators. These collections date primarily from the 19th and 20th centuries, and range in volume from a single item to 165 cu. ft. They are the papers of plantation mistresses, homemakers, home extension agents, schoolgirls, teachers, educators, American Red Cross workers, nurses, midwives, literary figures, newspaper women, political leaders, politicians, legislators, lobbyists, suffragists, federal and state government administrators, humanitarians, social leaders, and the occasional balloon aerialist/parachutist, woodworker and house designer, or espionage agent. Their papers include letters, diaries, reminiscences, travel accounts, account books, copybooks, scrapbooks, poems, plays, newspaper articles, news releases, nature writings, photographs, drawings, audio tapes, and video cassettes.

Of the 200 organizations whose records are preserved by the North Carolina State Archives, 38 were organized exclusively by and for the women of the state. They are primarily 20th-century organizations and include social, literary, patriotic, professional, and activist groups. However, probably the majority of the organizations for which we have records, if not created exclusively by women for their own pursuits, have nonetheless been dominated by women in both membership and leadership.

To support the research mission of the State University of New York at Buffalo, the University Archives collects and preserves organizational records and private papers having significant historical or research value. Much of the material concerns the Buffalo region during the twentieth century. This local emphasis not only documents the area, but also records how crucial national and international issues were perceived and acted upon in a specific setting.

Particular attention has been paid to the preservation of the records of women's organizations in the region. Among the records of women's organization are those of the Zonta Club of Buffalo records, 1920s-1990s; American Association of University Women, 1909-1980 (Buffalo Branch); the Camp Fire Girls of Buffalo and Erie County, 1913-1970; Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, 1960-1973 (Buffalo Branch); and the Buffalo Women's Center, 1973-1978.

The University Archives also actively collects the papers of individual University faculty members and other Western New York women. Personal collections have come from women in politics and government, educators, civic and community leaders, activists on behalf of women's rights and related issues, students, and homemakers. They document the suffrage movement in the early years of the twentieth century, the peace movement of the 1930s, and the growth of the modern women's movement in the 1960s and 1970s among other historically significant topics.
