Oklahoma, circa 1919-1950
Scope and Contents
Documents concerning YWCA of the U.S.A. associations in Okmulgee and Sapulpa, Oklahoma and the Tri-State YWCA and a survey of Pittsburg County. The administrative and organizational history of the associations in Okmulgee and Sapulpa can be traced through constitutions and bylaws in addition to association fact sheets and historical notes. Visitation reports describe and assess the association's program, leadership, activities, facilities and services. Other documents include notes on the community of work, lists of professional and volunteer leadership and advisory correspondence with regional and national leaders. The report of the survey of Pittsburg County presents the results of the survey of the social and economic conditions in the county. The documents concerning the Tri-State YWCA are arranged chronologically and document the association's organization through its eventual discontinuance. The Tri-State YWCA is comprised of associations in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri that are otherwise unable to support independent associations. The Kansas associations began as the Northern Oklahoma District YWCA prior to joining the Tri-State YWCA. Once the association is disbanded documents recommend that the towns join their state's district associations.
