Processing Information
Editorial responsibility for Friendly Woman passes to a new women's group which may or may not have a formal organization before and after the period of responsibility. Each collective exists as a Friendly Woman body only during its term. In 1995, records belonging to Friendly Woman (Denver, Colorado) were deposited, with additional accessions following in 1996, 1997, and 1998. A computer disk containing subscription information has been transferred to FHL Computer Disk Storage. Papers relating to the Friendly Woman (Eugene, Oregon) deposited by Lois Barton in 1995 were also processed with this collection.
