Home Economics - More Than Meets the Eye OR The Challenges in Organizing and Describing the Records of an Evolving Organization

Abstract

This presentation addresses the challenges encountered in organizing and describing the records of the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, an active and evolving organization. The original talk included examples from the archival collection, which was transferred to the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections in the summer of 2004. The presentation also discusses the history of the AAFCS and a few of its connections to Cornell, past and present.
