The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is a national organization that promotes education and equity for all women and girls. The Tallahassee branch of AAUW was organized in December 1923 chiefly through the efforts of a group of faculty at the Florida State College for Women (FSCW). The organization's founding was also encouraged by Dr. May L. Keller, Director of the South Atlantic Section, Dr. Mina Kerr, Executive Secretary of the National AAUW in Washington, and Dr. Cleo Hearon, of Agnes Scott College.

These papers, covering the period from 1923 to 1972, include the constitution and history of the Tallahassee Branch of the American Association of University Women, annual reports, committee files, general correspondence, membership files, president's files, scrapbooks, photographs, yearbooks, and other memorabilia. The Activities Files cover such topics as the Creative Arts and Modern and Tap Dance contests; the Administrative Files include the history and constitution; Committee Files include files of the ByLaws, Creative Arts, Education, and Hospitality Committees, among others; Memorabilia consists of awards of merit, scrapbooks, and enclosures; Photographs includes photos of AAUW members; and President's files include the files of Barbara Drainer and Mrs. Robert Miller. Most series are arranged alphabetically.
