Unit of the University of Michigan Center for Continuing Education of Women established in 1972 to provide a forum for women scientists at the university. History, correspondence, minutes, and subject files.
Although limited in quantity, the MWIS collection is useful for studying the role women scientists play at the University of Michigan, as well as the environment in which these women have to work. The strength of the collection lies in the correspondence and in the topical files, although minutes contain useful information and are a valuable means of exploring the genesis of the organization.
The MWIS records consist of four series: History, Correspondence, Minutes, and Topical Files.
