The Women's Citizens Committee Records were donated by Ms. Ida K. Saks and Ms. Hylda Burton. There are no restrictions on access to the collection. The photographs contained in the collection are dated as early as 1949, and as late as 1951.
Some photographs are also unidentifiable in terms of subject matter and are labeled accordingly.
As researchers can see by examining the photographic files, the WCC was formed shortly after the death of Mary Cheever on March 3, 1949. One can see that leaders such as Ida Saks, Peg Griffith, and Hylda Burton were very instrumental in the dealings of the WCC, as these women are readily identifiable in several photographs. Other such figures of the era, including Reverend Bernard Spong, Metro Holovachka, and David Stanton are also captured on film. These subject headings appear on the upper right corner of the files. While the photographic collection provides a wonderful display of early WCC activities, it is sparse as far as later dealings.
