The Women and Leadership Archives (WLA) collects and makes available permanently valuable records of women and women’s organizations. Initially, the WLA grew out of the need to preserve Mundelein College records and expanded to collect papers of women leaders. Collection strengths include the subject areas of activism and women’s issues; authors; education; environmental issues; public service; social justice; women religious; and the fine, performance, and visual arts.
