Historical NoteReturn to Top

In 1909, eleven women of the Missoula area founded the first Montana branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae. The Association of Collegiate Alumnae existed independently until 1921, at which time it merged with the South Association of College Women to form the American Association of University Women (AAUW). With service and scholarship as the foundation of its agenda, the AAUW has been an active women's club for over one hundred years. The AAUW is committed to fostering the development and maintenance of educational opportunities for women and children. It works to broaden leadership opportunities for women and promote academic endeavors. The organization divides its interests into six major categories: education, fellowship, economic and legal status of women, international relations, social studies and the arts.

The Missoula AAUW branch has included in its membership female graduates from such colleges and universities as Stanford, Wellesley, Mount Holyoke and Oberlin. It highlights women connected with the University of Montana staff and faculty, such as Mrs. K.W. Jameson, Ph.D. holder and Dean of Women for the University of Montana in 1918, and Mrs. C.V. Duniway, former Missoula branch president and wife of Clyde Duniway, UM's president from 1908-1912. Prominent Missoula Branch members include Montana representative Jeannette Rankin, as well as many of Missoula's first female newspaper reporters. The branch was an active part of Missoula's academic and community life. The club worked to advance the Missoula public school system and supported legislation to increase funding for Missoula libraries and later Missoula's Gifted and Talented program. The fellowship program has provided many scholarships for both local and foreign women to attend the University of Montana. Missoula's AAUW has also participated in such national events as the 1931 Montana-White House Conference on Child Health and Protection and the 1975 Third Public Affairs Forum. AAUW continues to exist on a local level, statewide, nationally and internationally.

Processing Note

The actions of the original processors are unknown. In 1998, the collection was extensively reorganized and re-described. In 2007, 4.5 linear feet of material received since 1998 was integrated into the collection. When room was available, new materials were placed into the boxes housing previously received materials. When room was not available, the materials were placed in boxes at the end of the collection. Materials from the state and national organization (previously filed in Series XIV and XV) were removed for incorporation with the AAUW Montana records housed at the Montana Historical Society. Series XIII, "Non AAUW Printed Materials" consisted of poetry and publications with no apparent connection to the AAUW; this series was removed from the collection in 2007. In 2023, additional clippings, correspondence, press releases, photographs, and event materials were added to the collection. During original processing all photographs were separated, placed in the Archives' general photograph collection, and given general photograph collection numbers 99-2588 through 99-2630. In 2023, these photos were reboxed for physical reincorpration with the rest of the collection.
