Visitation reports make assessments of the existing leadership and YWCA program, membership and community interest, and the needs of the women and girls of the community. Documents concerning the affiliated associations in Baton Rouge, Bogalusa and Monroe include constitutions, administrative records, historical summaries of the associations, lists of leadership and correspondence with the national services.
