Oklahoma, circa 1934-1950
Scope and Contents
Documents concerning the Oklahoma District YWCA, a federation of associations that are otherwise unable to maintain a fully affiliated association. The administrative history of the association and its relationship to the YWCA of the U.S.A. can be traced through its constitutions and bylaws. A brief narrative history of the association provides an overview of its organization and development out of the Oklahoma Rural Project of the YWCA. Visitation reports describe and assess the association's program, leadership, activities, facilities and services. Other documents include lists of professional and volunteer leaders, handbooks for leaders in the district, annual reports and advisory correspondence with regional and national leaders.
