California, circa 1951-1960
Scope and Contents
Documents concerning the administration, program and development of YWCA of the U.S.A. associations in Santa Ana and Santa Cruz, California as well as a visitation report for Santa Barbara. The administration and development of the associations is documented in basic standards reports, national certification documents, constitutions, and bylaws. Visitation reports for the associations are more narrative in nature and include program descriptions, reports of challenges and successes, and discussion of personnel and management need. Additional documents include general correspondence, pamphlets and reports. Santa Ana's visitation report concerns their interest in developing an association. Documents are arranged alphabetically by city.
