Historical Note
The Women's Center was founded in November 1972 to benefit the women of the University of Idaho and the community of Moscow. Its original goals were to increase the number of University women and decrease the dropout rates. Goals later expanded to include development and sponsorship of programs designed to increase awareness of the status, needs, and problems of Idaho women and to provide informative and educational resources.

Arrangement
Most of the content of this archival group was in labeled folders when received. Although many of the files have retained their original title, some were changed to clarify their contents. The organization of the files was rearranged to create a more coherent arrangement. The first series consists of office files and provides an historical background for the Women's Center. It includes publications, advertisements, projects, broadcasts, articles, photographs, videos, and annual records. The second series is a collection of laws, rights, and statistics. It includes information on the Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse, expense statements, Affirmative Action procedures, legal statutes, a UI rape survey of 1990, and various lawsuits pertaining to the Women's Center. The third series is restricted. The Head of Special Collections may grant permission for access. This box contains the original rape survey research forms, summaries of which are available in Box 2.
