scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: This series contains administrative materials, correspondence, lecture and research notes, student papers and theses, certificates and awards, multiple drafts of Irwin-Williams' CV dating to different points in her career, and job application materials. Of particular interest are the autobiographical narratives in the first sub-series, which demonstrate the difficulties faced by Irwin-Williams in the early stages of her career and the discrimination she faced as a female archaeologist, and the materials related to her decline in health and loss of status at the Desert Research Institute in the sixth subseries (many of these are currently restricted).
