Outside organizations, circa 1961-1970
Scope and Contents
Documents concerning organizations outside of the YWCA of the U.S.A. doing work with international interests, peace, religion, and social work. The YWCA of the U.S.A. maintains an awareness of other organizations doing work within their scope and often collaborates with these organizations, attends or contributes to hosted conferences and seminars or shares skills and resources. Correspondence between the organizations may address the nature of the relationship and the types of work that are of interest to the YWCA of the U.S.A. as well as position statements and project updates. Conference reports reflect the contents of the programs and the YWCA of the U.S.A.'s contributions or participation. The materials are grouped by type of organization and then by eac organization within that type. The entire microdex appears twice.
