Women's Fund for Health Education and Research (HER), 1979-1997 | University of Houston Libraries

Scope and Contents: The Women's Fund for Health Education and Research (HER) donated twelve record cartons to the University of Houston Women's Archive and Research Center in July 2000. Another contribution of four record cartons arrived in March 2002. The Women's Fund records include documents on fundraising and educational outreach events, with fundraising the dominant activity. Correspondence, membership rosters, income tallies, research grant applications, and newsletters comprise the collection. The special events series is the largest, and includes annual benefit luncheons, McGovern fall seminars, spring seminars, and membership coffee/lectures. The collection is organized topically into ten series: Administration, Board of Trustees, Special Events, Granting Process, Gifts and Donations, Printing Samples, Publications, Guest Books, and Austin Office. A few artifacts such as the guest books and 5 1/4 inch floppy disks with newsletter files are also included.
