National Organization for Women, Oakland County Chapter Records, 1978-2002

1 linear foot

Administrative files include minutes, membership materials, and newsletters. Topical concern activities and relationship with Michigan NOW and other state NOW chapters.

These records include the papers of a number of Oakland County NOW officers, particularly those of Judy Burgess, who served as Oakland County NOW's recording secretary from 1996 to 1999 and as president from 2001. Because the organization is largely volunteer-driven, the records are by no means comprehensive, and are limited to the materials produced by and/or received by the officers who donated the records. The collection is organized into two series: administrative files and topical files.

Administrative Files

The bulk of the collection consists of chapter newsletters in the administrative files series (3 folders). These chapter newsletters are the cornerstone of the collection, reflecting the chapter's activities across almost two decades -- from 1983 to 2002. Not only do the newsletters paint a picture of the chapter's activities, they also provide a glimpse into national and state affairs of interest to the Oakland County NOW.
