Central District Association of the American Alliance for Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance Papers

 Collection
Identifier: MsC-34

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.
