The Women’s University Club (now also known as the Philadelphia Branch of the
American Association of University Women) was founded in 1886. It became officially
affiliated with the American Association of University Women in 1935. The records of
this organization include administrative, committee, membership, conferences and
events, printed, publicity, and financial materials. Most of the papers date
primarily from its incorporation as a branch of the A. A. U. W. to the late 1970s.
The collection, however, does include some documentation from the 1920s and early
1930s, before the group’s affiliation with the A. A. U. W., including a few copies
of the Bulletin of the College Club. There are also
some materials from the 1980s and early 1990s, primarily conference programs and
addresses, and membership information.

The American Association of University Women was founded by seventeen female college
graduates in Boston in 1881. In a society which considered anything beyond primary
school for women unnecessary, this small group of educated women felt a growing need
for an organization founded to help maintain and broaden the acceptance of women in
higher education, as both students and teachers. The oldest national organization
for women, the A. A. U. W. struggles to this day to "promote equity for all women
and girls, lifelong education and positive societal change." The requirements for
becoming a member of the A. A. U. W. are, and have always been, being a woman
possessing a degree from a college or university accepted by the organization. Some
discussion of accepting men into the organization took place in the late 1970s, but
was overruled.
The founders of the A. A. U. W. in Boston were not the only educated women who sensed
this growing need for support. A similar group of female graduates founded The
Women's University Club, now the Philadelphia Branch of the A. A. U. W., in
Philadelphia in 1886. From its inception, the Women's University Club served as a
place for educated women to meet others like themselves, to network, and to find
support for engaging in intellectual pursuits. The Women's University Club first
began their affiliation with the A. A. U. W. in 1922. However, the relationship did
not become official until 1935, when, faced with falling numbers, which were in part
due to the Depression, the Club formally incorporated as the Women's University
Club, Philadelphia Branch of the American Association of University Women. The group
has opted to retain their original name to this day. That same year, the Club
engaged a full-scale membership drive, bringing in more than 1100 new members.
With their new membership in place, the Women's University Club offered their first
program as a branch of the A. A. U. W. in October, 1935. The leadership of the Club
was aware of the wide range of talents, expertise, and resources that their large
membership brought to the organization. With this knowledge, their primary concern
was using those resources to their full potential to engage the community as a
whole. They wanted their work to not only positively affect but also be supported by
the larger community of Philadelphia. With the help of their most prominent and
influential members, the Women's University Club took up several key issues,
including, but not limited to, the quality of public education in the city, civil
service reform, and international relations. Using the influence and position of
many of their members on the faculty of area colleges, the Women's University Club
conducted research and analyses of these key issues. They performed studies on the
qualifications of the members of the Philadelphia Board of Education, the adequacy
of the Social Studies curriculum of the Philadelphia Public Schools, and various
other topics.
Today, after over 110 years in existence, the Philadelphia Branch of the A. A. U. W.
is still working to broaden educational opportunities for women and to provide
support and financial assistance to female scholars both here and abroad. In
addition, the A. A. U. W. still funds research on gender issues in education,
science, and countless other fields. As part of the Interbranch Council, made up of
twelve suburban branches of the A. A. U. W. in the Delaware Valley, the Club serves
as a networking organization for thousands of educated women.
The records of the Women's University Club, Philadelphia Branch of the A. A. U. W.,
which include agendas and minutes for Board of Directors meetings and various
committees, correspondence, annual, branch, and committee reports, committee
records, membership lists, planning and programming material for conferences,
printed material, and financial records, illuminate the day-to-day workings of a
20th century women's club. A large portion of the collection centers on the everyday
details of running a large organization, including the planning of events, dinners,
fundraisers, and social gatherings. Seen through the lens of larger social issues,
this sometimes mundane information could provide much grist for historical mills.
Although there are some gaps in the documentation, the collection would prove useful
to a researcher interested in the changes in activities, strategies, and events of
women's organizations throughout the tumultuous years of the mid-20th century. The
extensive collection of meeting minutes for both the Board of Directors and some
standing committees often provide detailed insight into the attitudes and opinions
of the members of this organization.
The limited nature of the membership of the Women's University Club adds to its
interest and research value. Women with college degrees, not to mention graduate
degrees and doctorates, were the exception to the rule in the early to mid-20th
century. The most powerful and influential women of Philadelphia are represented in
this collection, including deans and presidents of area colleges and presidents of
various social and civic organizations. However, in the earlier days of the Club,
those women that did have degrees were often from more upper-class backgrounds, and
almost always white. Through membership records and printed materials, this
collection could prove valuable in research of the changing demographic of educated
women and their acceptance into an elite organization.
The records of the Women's University Club provide interesting insight into an
evergrowing area of scholarly research, women's history. The materials found in this
collection highlight the activities of a select group committed to a woman's right
to higher education throughout a period in American history marked by significant
change. Of course, the periods of women's suffrage in the early part of the 20th
century and the groundbreaking women's liberation movement of the 1970s are easy
periods to target for an assessment of American women's history. However, one of the
most understudied, and potentially most fascinating times for American women in the
20th century is the time period in between, one that is covered extensively in this
collection. These records document what some women were doing - politically,
socially - in this era of relative inactivity in the women's rights movement. Not
until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s did the issue of equal rights
for women again become pertinent to the average American woman. However, for the
Women's University Club and its parent organization, this issue of greater respect
and acceptance had always prevailed. A careful reading of many of the materials in
this collection could help to demonstrate the reasons behind this tenacity and
drive.

Series 1: Administrative Records
1-6
This series consists of the administrative records of the Women's University
Club (American Association of University Women—Philadelphia
Branch). The series is divided into three subseries: Board of Directors; Executive Director; and Executive Director's office. The Board of Directors subseries includes agendas and
minutes for the bulk of the collection's date span. The Executive Director's records consist solely of
incoming and outgoing correspondence (1943-1976) of one executive director,
Mrs. L. Murray House II. The Executive Director's
office records consist of copies of some founding documents,
by-law revisions, annual and branch reports, various history files of the
organization, and miscellaneous administrative records. Although these
documents would not normally be found in the Executive Director's office, it
appears that this office also served to maintain the organization's archives
prior to their transfer to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. This
subseries includes records of the membership drive in 1935 as well as some
evidence that during this drive the leadership eliminated some proposed
members from the lists for their religious affiliation (e. g. Judaism). By
the late 1950s, while it was not overtly stated, this practice seems to have
been abandoned and membership expanded to incorporate women of different
religions and races.
Series 2: Committee Records
7-10
This series includes the records of the various committees of the Women's
University Club. The series is divided into three subseries: Awards Committee; Fellowship Committee; and Minor Committees. The Awards and Fellowship Committees
were separated from the other committees because of their size, their
importance within the group, and their apparent individuality. It seems that
these two committees performed the most public and prolific duties of the
Women's University Club.
The Awards Committee subseries includes files on
various honors given by or to members of the Women's University Club. Many
of the Who's Who and Vitae files provide detailed information on powerful
members of the club.
The Fellowship Committee material provides
interesting information on one of the many philanthropic focuses of the
Club. Throughout its long history, stretching to before it officially
affiliated with the A. A. U. W., the club awarded various fellowships to
educated women interested in continuing their studies. This subseries of
materials not only provides some detailed information on various recipients
of these fellowships, it also begins to demonstrate the connection the A. A.
U. W. and the Club have with the International Federation of University
Women (I. F. U. W.). The A. A. U. W. was (and is) a member organization of
the I. F. U. W. and often times the fellowships were awarded to American
scholars for study abroad, or to international scholars looking to do some
work in the United States.
Of particular interest within the Minor Committees
subseries are the files of the Legislative Committee and the
Reorganization/Relocation Committee. The Legislative Committee files
document the many political interests of the members of the Club from the
late 1940s to early 1950s. The Reorganization/Relocation Committee files
help to further elaborate the structural changes of the group during the
1930s, including the Club's official incorporation as the Philadelphia
Branch of the A. A. U. W. in 1935, and the large membership drive of that
same year.
Series 3: Membership Records
11-20
This series consists of membership records dating from the official
incorporation as a branch of the A. A. U. W. in 1935 to the mid-1980s. This
series includes several volumes, lists of Board of Directors members,
applications for membership, visitor records, and documentation of inactive,
resigned, and deceased members. This series also includes four different
subseries of membership cards: two of new member applications and two of
inactive members. The two new member subseries were not interfiled. The same
applies for the two subseries of inactive member files. There are also some
new member applications in Series 7.
Series 4: Conferences, Programs and Events
21-25
This series consists of records of various Conferences,
Programs and Events both presented
and attended by members of the national A. A. U. W. and the Women's
University Club. The series primarily consiss of information on the various
annual conferences of the Women's University Club. The records include
correspondence, agendas, guest lists, plans, notes, table lists,
reservations, copies of addresses, publicity, programs, and other printed
material. Also included in the series are records on division, state, and
national conferences and conventions, as well as documentation of several
conferences of the International Federation of University Women (I. F. U.
W.), one of which was held in Philadelphia. Of particular note in this
series are some signed letters from John F. Kennedy, during one of his terms
as Senator of Massachusetts, and several letters from the noted singer,
Marian Anderson. Audio recordings of some portions of the conferences
covered here can be found in Series 8.
While there is a much smaller amount of documentation on the programs and
events, this material helps demonstrate the kinds of activities and
charitable endeavors the Club pursued from the 1960s to the early 1980s. Of
particular interest are the growing attempts at opening up the corporate
world to women in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Series 5: Published Material
26-32
This series consists of published material produced by both the Women's
University Club and the A. A. U. W. The series includes three subseries:
National Publications; Branch Publications;
and International and Other Branch
Publications. The National Publications
subseries consists of a short run of the Journal of the A. A. U. W. and the General
Director's Letters. The Journal is
mostly scholarly writings produced by educated women and the General Director's Letters provide information
about the activities of the national organization to the various members
around the country. The Branch Publications
subseries is made up of two sets of the Bulletin of the Women's University Club which was published
monthly during the nine months of the academic year. One set is unbound and
the other bound. The bulletins in the unbound set, while less complete than
the bound set, are often in better condition and housed in archival folders.
The bound set covers a larger date span than the unbound set, and is often
complete. The International and Other Branch
Publications subseries is an eclectic compilation of various
materials including a "History of the Wilmington Branch" and several
bulletins of the I. F. U. W.
Series 6: Publicity
33-34
This series is made up of various forms of publicity material from the
Women's University Club. The series is primarily comprised of scrapbooks of
newspaper clippings, which have been photocopied onto acid-free paper. The
scrapbooks cover not only publicity for the group but also the outside
activities of individual members. This series also includes a few folders of
photographs, mostly of officers and other prominent members of the group.
Many photos are unidentified.
Series 7: Financial Records
35-44
This series consists of financial records for the Women's University Club,
particularly those concerning employees, but also including tax records,
finance committee minutes and agendas, financial statements, leases and
mortgages for properties inhabited by the Club, insurance policies, and
bills and receipts. One volume of membership reports and related statements
was disbound and incorporated into the rest of the series. The series also
includes twenty volumes, mostly cash books. The folders on state dues in Box
32 include several new member applications which provide detailed
information on the education backgrounds and occupations of prospective
members. Detailed information on employees and members is also available in
this series.
Series 8: Audio-Visual Material
45-46
This series is solely audio-visual material and should be used in conjunction
with Series 4: Conferences, Programs, and Events. This series is comprised
mostly of audio cassette tapes of speeches and presentations at various
conferences. Also included in this series are two 16 inch records of the
49th General Meeting and color slides of an A. A. U. W. Workshop.

This collection came to the Historical Society in two major accessions. The first
donation, given in 1982, was partially arranged after its arrival and an
inventory of that portion was drawn up. The later major accession, donated in
1987, was received after that original processing was done, and was therefore
not included in the original arrangement. An attempt was made to stay as true to
that previous arrangement as possible while incorporating the newer material.
However, it is unclear how much of that previous arrangement was derived from
original order, and how much was determined by a previous processor.
In addition, some changes were made to that previous arrangement. The series were
slightly reordered, as per current archival practice, to reflect the hierarchy
of the organization. The three subseries of Series 2 (Committee Records) were
also reordered for the same reason. Finally, all of the minutes of the Board of
Directors up to 1976 were originally housed in binders in complete reverse
chronological order. When they were rehoused into folders, the arrangement was
changed slightly to help make the files more accessible to the researcher. These
minutes are now arranged in chronological order by year, and reverse
chronological order within the year. Three binders of committee information were
removed from their original housing and filed in with the rest of the committee
records. Some of the committee files are in reverse chronological order.
In the interest of preservation, very acidic and brittle newspaper clippings
(some loose and some pasted into scrapbooks) were photocopied onto acid-free
paper. In addition, all of the materials housed in three-ring binders were
disbound and rehoused in acid-free folders. Most of the bound volumes were
placed in archival boxes, except for the large financial volumes at the end of
the financial series (Series 7).

records have been deposited at their local repositories.
