Board Meeting Minutes, 1996-1997

The Beavercreek Women's League (BWL) Records document its establishment in 1969 to the most recent mission in 2009. The BWL Records are a significant contribution to the local and regional history and women's history collection areas of the Special Collections and Archives. The records contain extensive and detailed holdings, including scrapbooks, photographs, publicity, publications, and administrative documentation. The collection is organized into three series:

Series I, Administrative and Organizational Records, is an extensive collection that consists of the organization's administrative documentation. The records in this series were removed from a 3-ring binder that held information for three consecutive years starting in 1993-1994 to 2007. Not all binders were arranged exactly the same way and different information was found in each binder. The records from 1969 to 1993-1994 were grouped together based on document type. Now all the records are organized chronologically by document type. The end of the year reports also contain annual job descriptions and annual committee reports. There is a gap in the records from 1997 to 2000. Event or program and fundraising records are located in this series.

Series II, Publicity and Publications, consists of newspaper articles, publicity from 2001 to 2005, a cookbook proof set, newsletters, certificates, and a plaque.

Series III, Photographs and Scrapbooks, consists of photographs and scrapbooks that document the history of the organization, events and programs, and members of the group. The scrapbooks highlight and contain pictures, member information, newspaper articles, and documents from past events and programs. An annual scrapbook is assembled, which started in 1969 that documents the history of the organization.
