The Washington State Dairy Women was originally called the Dairy Wives of Washington State and was founded in 1954 by Dr. Albert Shaw. The first three presidents were Harriet Gross, Selma Wood, and Maxine Tibeau. The main function of the Washington State Dairy Women is to promote public awareness of dairy products' nutrition through sales promotions and educational programs. The Washington State Dairy Women annually sponsor a Washington State Dairy Ambassador program (formerly Dairy Princess), which selects a young woman to serve as the official representative of the dairy industry for the state of Washington. Her duties include public demonstrations and educational programs on dairy nutrition.

The scrapbooks of the Washington State Dairy Women are the records of both the state organization and the individual chapters: Clark County, Kitsap County, King County and Inland Empire. Included in these generally annual volumes are photographs and newspaper clippings of the Dairy Ambassador (formerly Dairy Princess) competitions, newspaper clippings from other various club sponsored events, suggestions on how to make wider use of dairy products in the diet, and activity and financial reports.

Scrapbooks of the state organization are followed by those of the local units. Within each group the scrapbooks have been arranged in chronological order.

This collection is open and available for research use.
