PUBLISHER'S NOTE
As Director of the Department of Archives and History, I take particular pleasure in making this guide available to our researchers. Not only does it begin to pinpoint the contributions of Georgia women in all phases of American life, but it represents the finest type of cooperation between archivists and scholars. The fine working relationships which have developed among the individuals who participated in the guide's production is only equalled by the cordial cooperation experienced among the institutional partners in the venture: our Department, Emory University, and the Women's Records Project of Georgia, Inc. I am pleased that our Department has played a major role in this important area of cooperative enterprise and wish to express my appreciation to my staff and most especially to Dr. Darlene R. Roth and Virginia Shadron who virtually donated enormous amounts of their time to this effort.
Carroll Hart Director Georgia Department of Archives and History

INTRODUCTION
Several purposes governed the preparation of this preliminary guide. We hoped to introduce the users of it to some of the holdings in the Manuscripts Section of the Georgia Archives and at the same time to raise the visibility of the women in those holdings. In addition, we hoped to draw some attention to little known materials and to more recent acquisitions of the Manuscripts Section and, in the process, encourage their research use.
The focus on women is not intended to be precious or exclusive on our part. Rather, it is an attempt to meet an increasing demand for information on all aspects of women's lives, brought about by the recent upsurge of interest in women as a special subject for academic inquiry--women as accomplished public individuals, as centers of domestic situations, as part of the course of social history in general. Almost every level of education in Georgia reflects this trend and offers some instruction on the subject of women, and we hope this guide will be useful to women studies instructors and students, as well as to those independent scholars who may find ~he listings of more immediate research value. Needless to say, persons with other interests, too, may find the guide useful--genealogists, local historians, sociologists, public servants, and others.
The guide actually grew out of work which the compilers did in connection with two other projects: the Women's Records Project of Georgia, Inc., a local organization which seeks to promote the preservation of the historical record of women in Georgia and the southeast, and the Women's History Sources Survey, a national project sponsored by the University of Minnesota and the National Endowment for the Humanities. In 1976 the Minnesota-NEH project undertook a massive search for primary sources pertaining to women in the United States from colonial times to the present, the results of which are to be published in a multi-volumed library reference work. Although the Georgia Archives submitted listings to the Minnesota survey, the listings were necessarily incomplete, as it was impossible to survey all the relevant manuscript collections in time to meet the requirements of the Minnesota publication. Therefore, the Women's Records Project, which has assisted the original Minnesota su~vey work in Georgia, decided to contribute the extra effort necessary to complete the survey, and this guide, backed by the enthusiastic support of the Georgia Archives, is the result.
In a real sense, the survey is still not definitive, and it should be stressed at the outset that this is a preliminary guide to holdings in the Manuscripts Section of the Archives only. We have been thorough in our searches of that Section, yet there are some unprocessed manuscript collections we could not cover in this guide and still publish it in a reasonable period of time. Nor have we touched upon the resources of other sections of the Archives--most notably the extensive holdings of the Governmental Records Office and the Microfilm Library. These sections may actually be better known to researchers than the Manuscripts Section, but their use for women studies may not be so familiar, and we urge readers to remember them when undertaking their research. While it is otvious, for example, that certain kinds of

official Georgia records will reflect women's as well as men's ac~ivities--court records, marriage licenses, land deeds, and wills-it is not so obvious that other revelations about women are to be found in public documents as well. Within the public realm Georgia women are found to be lobbyists for kindergartens in the early 1900s, official visitors to special state institutions, inmates of other state institutions, petitioners for assistance from pension offices, such as after the Civil War, co-workers with public officials to mobilize women into action, such as during World War I, avid supporters of public officials and doctrines, even supporters of the creation of the Georgia State Archives, itself. The ambitious microfilming program of the Georgia Archives makes available to researchers an abundance of other rnc:.terials, not only lI s tandard" public sources such as censuses and county records, but also a great deal of private material--church records, family papers, individual papers held in private hands, particularly those helo uut of stat~. These are rich sources, indeed, for the stud, 0L women, dnd we hope to see published aids to finding women-related material in these Sections of the Archives, as well as periodic updates to this guide, coming out in future years.
As stated, we have restricted ourselves to holdings in the Manuscripts Section. This applies, naturally, to the papers described herein, but it also applies to the illustrations. The visual sources in the Manuscripts Section--pictures, photographs, prints, and drawings--are much more numerous than the small selection printed here would indicate. While their itemization lay beyond the scope of this survey, we have tried to indicate which collections contain picture material, and also, which ones contain artifacts.
We hope that our selection of illustrations and our coverage of the collections will whet appetites for more knowledge about the women mentioned, pique curiosities about the particulars of their lives, and entice users of this guide into the Archives for some thoughtful investigations of their papers.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Writing may be a lonely occupation, but it is seldom a solitary one. This guide, for instance, owes its ex~stence to the work of many individuals, and its first debts may not be its most obvious ones. To begin with, it would not have corne into existence at all, had it not been for Carroll Hart, the Director of the Georgia Department of Archives and History, who encouraged the preparation of the guide, and committed archival staff and funds to its production. This level of cooperation merits special emphasis since thp two compiLers are not members or the Arch~ves' staff. The cooperat~on we rece~ved from everyone on Miss Hart's staff is a great tribute to her organization. Among others who deserve a special note of thanks are Carl Ehrlicher, who designed the cover, and Ann Pederson, who kept her watchful and expert eye on the guide's progress and smoothed over more than one obstacle in its course. Jeanrne Thomas and Dick Bell, who provided editorial assistance and did all of the proofreading, deserve a very special thanks. They were patient, thorough, patient, competent, patient, and helpful, working with us while their other work loads suffered from our constant intrusions. I have expressed my personal gratitude elsewhere to Virginia Shadron, my co-compiler and former student, whose perseverance impressed me more than once, and whose own professional sensibilities had their trial by fire in misidentified materials, scrapbooks that appeared out of nowhere, and semi-colons which began to dance before her eyes. Finally, lowe a large debt to Peter Schinkel who actually originated the idea of the guide. He created a lot of work for me (and a number of other folks), but he also saw it through. He will never know the extent of my gratitude for his knowledge and wiRdom, his generosity, his guidance, his availability, his kindness, and his sense of humor. Especially for the last quality, if this guide could be dedicated to anyone, it would be dedicated to him.

EDITORIAL NOTE
Women's Records: A Preliminary Guide is divided into three sections, based on three natural groupings--individuals, families, and organizations. The nature of the papers contained within each category differs from section to section, and the emphases in description differ accordingly. Each section is introduced separately in order to discuss the variances in record types and information given.
The entries are arranged alphabetically within each section, but they are numbered sequentially through the whole book, and the listings are then indexed by entry number and not by page. The title of the collection, as given, corresponds to the title used by the Manuscripts Section to identify each set of records. The size of the collection is given in cubic feet or number of items. The dates given in the title refer to the collection and not to any person within the collection. Often the dates have been abbreviated to include only the earliest and latest dates found in the collection, but additional dating given within the body of the description will give more of a sense of the actual coverage of the collection. All of the collections described are open for research use, but some have restrictions on their use. We have indicated which collections have restrictions placed on them, but have not spelled out those restrictions; since potential users would have to clear their use through the Archives' staff anyway, they may obtain all necessary explanations from the staff. Where a detailed inventory exists to a collection, that is noted, and where no inventory is available, we have tried to give more information in the description here than would otherwise be the case.
We have followed archival conventions in describing the types of records in each collection. The word "collection" itself, as part of the title, is actually only used to describe a set of records collected by the person named in the title and does not refer to records pertaining to that person. "Papers" refers to a mix of records generated by the person or family named in the collection title and pertinent to them. "Letters" refers to either incoming or outgoing letters, but not bcth; "correspondence" is used, instead, to indicate letters between two or more correspondents within the same collection. Odd items, such as individual journals, diaries, and scrapbooks, are identified as journalS, diaries, and scrapbooks. "Records" is used to describe materials generated by organizations and institutions, and is ~herefore used most often to describe collections contained within the tnird section of the guide.
Most of our editorial decisions were made in the interests of consistency and brevity. Where we could, however, we tried to give some of the flavor of the collections along with their essentials.

SECTION 1 I OIVIOUALS
Section I is composed of those collections which reveal women in Georgia as accomplished individuals: students and teachers; genealogists, writers, and historians; politiciar.s and reformers; organization women and soc~ety leaders; even a nurse, a missionary, and a hotel keeper. As a rule, the materials described in each collection were generated by the person named in the title, and the description given encompasses the entire set of papers under that title. The materials are widely various and include such things as personal and business letters; manuscripts, poems, speeches, and other compositions; material collected by the women about their organizations, churches, hometowns, and families; diaries, scrapbooks, school records, books, newsclippings, photographs, and artifacts.
We have made an effort to give biographical information on the subject of each collection, but some of the women are not well-known public figures, and little, if anything, is known of their personal lives. The women are listed by their full names; birth and death dates, where known, are given in parentheses; husbands' names, in brackets.

SECTION II FAMILIES
Section II consists entirely of groups of records where women's papers constitute small portions of larger collections or where women are either invisible or only implicit in the titles. In no case is an individual woman the subject of the entire collection; in fact, most of the women presented here have not created public records for themselves, so they are hidden within the records of others. The bulk of the material in this sectioI portrays women in domestic situations--as wives and mothers, sisters and cousins, busy in kitchen, parlor, and garden, and all too frequently, stranded on the home front during wartime. Most of the collections described are family papers, but some artificial collections are also included, as are papers of individual men which contain women's material.
As a general rUle, the descriptions here pertain only to the women's portion of the collections, and readers should direct themselves to inventories and other finding aids to discover the full extent of the collections covered. We have tried to give biographical indicators, but many of the people here are not readily identifiable. While the variety of records in this section is great, personal letters form the single most common document. As will be seen, much--sometimes most-of the family correspondence here was conducted by the female members, and in recognition of this, representative female correspondents in these collections are regularly noted and named.

SECTION III ORGANIZATIONS
The emphasis in Section III is on women in larger social environments, specifically in organizational and institutional settings. The institutional records reflect the dominance of women in certain professions, such as public school teaching. The organizational records reflect a wide spectrum of female interest and involvement from self-improvement to social reform. Although the records in these collections are less personal than those described in Sections I and II, they probably offer a more complete view of women exercising their citizenship: creating networks of influence and communication, professionalizing work activities, broadcasting political issues, fighting for and against various social changes.
Entries in this section are described in more detail than elsewhere, as fewer inventories are available on these collections. The kinds of records themselves are fairly consistent throughout: scrapbooks, yearbooks, minutes, constitutions and by-laws, official correspondence and reports. In most cases, dates have been shortened to include only the earliest records and the latest; gaps do exist in the material, but they are noted only when they are sizeable. Some of these organizations are very old; regrettably most of the historical materials pertain to the more recent decades of their existence. Some are better known than others, but to keep the readers equally informed about all of them, we have tried to give founding dates and purposes for each.

The first Soroptomist Club, a classified service club of executive business and professional women, was organized by Adelaid E. Goddard in Oakland, California, in 1921.
