Acc0532 University of Utah Women's Resource Center records 1962-1991 1971-1989 University of Utah. Women's Resource Center 6.25 linear feet The Women's Resource Center was established in 1971 to provide outreach to women students, faculty, and staff at the University of Utah. The bulk of the material in this collection comes from the administration of Shauna Adix (1971-1991). English Historical Note

The Women's Resource Center was founded in 1971 as a means of improving the general quality of coed education at the University of Utah through the implementation of programs which were responsive to the needs and concerns of female students, faculty, and staff. During the period covered by this collection, the Women's Resource Center fulfilled its mission by implementing a Women's Studies Program, establishing a branch office for the Higher Education Resource Services network for the western United States (HERS/WEST), starting the Project on Single Parent Students, sponsoring an annual Women's Conference, holding seminars and workshops, and advocating for child care services at the University of Utah.

This collection contains brochures, correspondence, course materials, fliers, memoranda, minutes, news articles, newsletters, press releases, proposals, reports, and surveys, the bulk of which comes from the administration of Shauna Adix (1971-1989) and the acting directorship of Beverly Purrington (June-August 1989). Approximately one half of a linear foot of material originates from University of Utah departments out-side of the Women's Resource Center. This includes records from earlier women's programs offered through the Extension Division and the Division of Continuing Education. Another half of a linear foot of material is from non-University of Utah organizations with which the Women's Resource Center had interacted.

This collection is divided into three series: 1. Women's Resource Center records, 2. General University of Utah records, and 3. Non-University of Utah records. The material is arranged alphabetically and chronologically thereunder within each series.

Materials must be used on-site; advance notice suggested. Access to parts of this collection may be restricted under provisions of state or federal law.
