Administrative History
The Canberra Association of Women Graduates was formed in 1944 with the
aim of facilitating inter-communication and co-operation between women of
universities of all nations (1944 Constitution). The Association
was affiliated with the Australian Federation of University Women and the
International Federation of University Women. Membership was comprised of
women holding degrees from any university recognised by the Australian
Federation of University Women.
In 1960 the Associations name was changed to the Canberra
Association of University Women and in 1974 it was changed again to the
Australian Federation of University Women- ACT.
Records of the Australian Federation of University Women are also held
at MS 9592.
