The Library seeks papers significantly related to Federal government policies and operations in the 1970s, national political affairs in the 1970s, or the lives of Gerald Ford and Betty Ford.

Holdings
During the 1970s, women's economic and civil rights, social role, and political power became a more prominent part of the public agenda. The Ford White House faced these issues in many guises: an Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, development of the first Title IX regulations, military academy admittance, abortion policy, credit and property law reform, for examples. The substantive and symbolic intertwined on such matters as the appointment of women, communication with women voters, and participation in the United Nation's International Women's Year, 1975. First lady Betty Ford was the focus of conflicting reactions and expectations for her candor on social, political, and health issues. Throughout the Ford administration, women office-holders such as Housing Secretary Carla Hills (the first woman appointed to the Cabinet in 20 years) and Bobbie Greene Kilberg (Associate Counsel re school desegregation, terrorism, Secret Service issues) sought to exercise greater power on issues unrelated to gender. These concerns are reflected in numerous subcollections of the Ford Presidential Papers, the Papers of Betty Ford, and the donated personal papers of former administration officials.

Marquette solicits nationally records and personal papers documenting the involvement of Catholic organizations, movements, and individuals in promoting social action and social change in areas such as the following: interracial justice, fundamental economic reform, low-cost housing for the poor and homeless, fair employment, welfare rights, corporate respoonsibility, prison and penal system reform, women's rights, minority rights, gay and lesbian rights, agrarian reform, nuclear and conventional weapons disarmament, international peace, draft resistance, and support for conscientious objectors.

Holdings
The Department of Special Collections and University Archives holds notable collections, comprising over 100 cubic feet, that document the contributions of Catholic women in promoting basic human rights, interracial justice, women's rights, and world peace, and in responding to the immediate needs of the poor. These include the records of the Institute of Women Today (1974-), the National Coalition of American Nuns (1969-), and the Women's Ordination Conference (1975-), and the personal papers of Dorothy Day (1897-1980) and Sr. Margaret Ellen Traxler (1924-2002). (The Dorothy Day-Catholic Worker Collection also includes the papers of other women involved in the Worker movement, and records of CW communities that serve homeless and imprisoned women.)

Also significant are the records of the Sister Formation Conference (1952-1976), in its inception a "grassroots" movement for the renewal of congregations of women religious that anticipated and fostered the reforms associated with Vatican II, and the National Sisters Vocation Conference (1967-1987), which promoted a "post-conciliar" conception of religious vocation. The SFC changed its name to the Religious Formation Conference in 1976, to reflect the addition of men formation personnel to its membership. Similarly, the NSVC merged with the National Religious Vocation Conference. Personal papers of Sr. Ritamary Bradley (1916-2000)and Sr. Annette Walters (1910-1978), early leaders of the Sister Formation movement, are included in the SFC/RFC Records.

Substantial material pertaining to women's history is also included in other manuscript collections and the records of Marquette University. For an overview of these holdings, see http://www.marquette.edu/library/collections/archives/women.html.
