News Bulletins, 1940, 1956-1964
Scope and Contents
This series consists largely of IMAS News, the society's news bulletin, which provided updates on the activities of the society as a whole, as well as those of individual members. The news bulletins also included messages from the IMAS's officials, and articles about IMAS's early years. In addition, the bulletins provide a look at the organization's changing goals: the June 1974 issue includes a list of IMAS's current objectives, which are markedly different from those first drafted in 1938. Programs for the 25th, 30th, and 35th anniversary banquets are also included in this series, as is information on homemaker and nursing services available to IMAS members. Meeting announcements and information on social and cultural events, such as IMAS's Kaffee Klatsch and dances, lectures, and concerts can also be found here. The series consists of newsletters, banquet programs and announcements and invitations. A small amount of material is in German.
