The American Association of University Women – Kansas City (AAUW-KC) Collection was transferred from the UMKC Women’s Center to LaBudde Special Collections, UMKC Libraries, in summer 2010. The collection dates from 1909-1985 and consists of 12 scrapbooks and 11 photographs. The collection contains the chronicled years of civic and social events and achievements garnered by the AAUW-KC. These materials provide insight into the organization and exhibit their efforts toward the betterment of the Kansas City community and beyond.

The community work done by the AAUW-KC to help families in the Kansas City area may be of interest as well as the scrapbooks highlighting notable events and milestones in Kansas City, the United States, and internationally spanning three quarters of the 20th century.
