MS.159Scope and Content
AAUW is a nationwide organization of women graduates of regionally accredited U.S. colleges and universities, or of foreign institutions. It has long-standing commitments to women’s higher education, an active legislative program, and study topics that deal with vital issues. In its early years, the association was instrumental in opening the doors of higher education to women.
In 1940, the Southern Branch of the American Association of University Women was organized in Las Vegas, Nevada. As many of the members lived in Boulder City, the group alternated its meetings between Boulder City and Las Vegas. At the time, there was a one way road between the two towns, and travel back and forth was difficult. There were prospective members in Boulder City who wanted to join the group if all the meetings would be held here Boulder City.
In September of 1942, the Boulder City branch was organized.
The Boulder City branch of AAUW has been actively pursuing the ideals of the national organization since 1942. It has hosted guest speakers, cultural events, and legislative forums, and campaigned to raise community awareness of important issues. It has encouraged women to seek higher education and has funded scholarships for outstanding Boulder City High School women graduates. Its Home Tour has become a popular annual local event.
This collection consists of three scrapbooks and a collection of the organization's records dating from 1942-1999.Collection
