 Sub-Series

Correspondence, memoranda, reports, publications, clippings, scrapbooks, and listings relating to various projects undertaken by the Maryland Division, including work in such areas as education, career counseling, AAUW organizational history, and other areas of interest to the division. Included among the material relating to education is a guide for women returning to college, scholarship information, a study of junior colleges, a survey of day care programs in Maryland, and material relating to training programs in computer science and creative writing. Materials generated by the Women's Employment Related Questions Committee (formerly called Employment Opportunities for Mature Women and Problems related to their Employment) include pamphlets and reports on career opportunities for women. Efforts to chronicle the Maryland Division's history resulted in several publications including a "Who's Who of Maryland Women, 1930-1976," as well as several histories of the division and its branches. Other material relates to AAUW's leadership training programs, participation in a White House Conference on Aging, a 1958 "Study of Mental Health Facilities in the State of Maryland," and various "Computer, Math, Science Career Learning Day and Fun Fairs" sponsored by the state division.
