Central District Association of the American Alliance for Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance Papers
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of materials donated and arranged by Association Archivist Ruth Johnson during the 1990s. However, several years after the original collection was donated, a large shipment of additional material was received. These were not in any particular order, and have been cataloged as an addendum to the original collection. 2021 additions: An addition of the pdf, "Photos of Central District Presidents," was added in February 2021. The December 2021 addition to this collection consists of Central District Physical Education Association minutes, a leadership roster, the 2014 convention programs, president photos dating from 1992-1993 to 2021-2022, and a KAHPERD (Kansas) document titled, “100 years of KAHPERD.” Please note that the collection's control file contains additional resources. Please ask SC&UA staff for access.
