Minnesota YWCA of the U.S.A. records, Record Group 11. Microfilmed headquarters files

Correspondence, reports and administrative records concerning the YWCA of Minneapolis, Minnesota's history, affiliation, camp facilities, building, leadership, program for industrial women and overall programs and services. As is custom for YWCA of the U.S.A. associations, the YWCA of Minneapolis uses studies to inform their program, services and leadership and to evaluate their current practices. A study of the social and health services of Minneapolis conducted by the Community Chests and Councils, Inc. assesses the services available in the community and the community needs. The self study of the association is a collection of materials gathered together to make an assessment of the association's program and operations. Also included are documents concerning the association's camp facility Lyman Lodge, fundraising pamphlets, correspondence and reports concerning the industrial program, lists of professional and volunteer leadership and a residence survey. The association's history, organization and structure is documented in historical notes, association fact sheets and governing documents.
