Introduction

Scope and Content

The collection includes: office files; Interim Board, Governing Body, NFAW Board and Subcommittee minutes and supporting papers; legal papers relating to the setting up of the Foundation and associated Trusts; financial records; and photographs, correspondence and other papers relating to the NFAW's 1990 National Women's Conference, the 1989 NFAW Launch and the organisation's newsletter, Broadside. The office files comprise the major part of the collection and include administration and financial records, Board meeting papers and those of regional NFAW groups and the Coalition of Participating Organisations of Women (CAPOW), legal documents, Trust and Award papers and Broadside administration records.

Arrangement

The records were received in three separate consignments. The order of runs of office files from each consignment has been maintained, but the runs have been brought together in rough chronological order by the Library. Papers originally filed in ring binders have been transferred to archival folders and their internal order maintained. Where the contents extend into several folders they have been marked accordingly, eg Part 1 of 3. Papers received loose inside cartons have been separated into events or activities and placed in folders with their internal arrangement maintained as closely as possible.

Access

The collection is available for reference.

Administrative History

The National Federation for Australian Women had its origin in the 1988-1989 initiatives of a number of feminists concerned about the future of the women's movement in Australia. Groups of women in Canberra and Sydney, with participants from Western Australia and Victoria, met for general discussion and to consider the issue of bequests by Beryl Henderson and Pamela Denoon and inquiries from other women wishing to bequeath money to a feminist cause.

An Interim Board met on a monthly basis in Sydney, Canberra and the Wollongong region, setting up a rudimentary office in Canberra and creating sub-groups to organise a public launching. Discussion focused on a work program, representation and funds management. A legal subcommittee examined organisational structure and financial control issues.

NFAW was officially launched in 1989 in Canberra, followed by a series of mini-launches in all states and territories. The Interim Board continued to run the Foundation pending the election of Association, Committee and Board members in 1990. Initially a Governing Body/Coordinating Committee was set up in conjunction with the NFAW Board and the NFAW was intended for incorporation. This intention was ultimately overturned and the structure was simplified to a Board and Association, members of which can nominate for the Board. Membership was set at individual or organisational level and regional groups sprang up at different times in Armidale NSW, Brisbane, Canberra, Hunter Region, Sydney, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

The Foundation's stated aims are: 'To advance and protect the interests of Australian women in all spheres and to ensure that the aims and ideals of the Women's movement are handed on to new generations of women.'

Year One projects included the publication of a newsletter, Broadside, childcare policy research, a National Women's Conference, the second Pamela Denoon Memorial Lecture and investigation of further sources of funding. Subsequent activities have included: funds administration, for example the Ryan-Conlon, Pamela Denoon, Jessie Street, Education and Research Trusts; grants and awards bestowal, such as the Victorian Women's, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Homebirth Funds and the Marian Eldridge Writers Award; publication of Issues Papers and special publishing projects; endorsements and auspicing of other organisations and projects; parliamentary lobbying; and representation at women's events, such as the Fourth United Nations Conference in Beijing in 1995. In 2000 NFAW established an online Australian Women's Archives Project, jointly administered with the History Department of the University of Melbourne, to encourage Australian women and their organisations to preserve their archival records.

NFAW Directors have included: Marie Coleman (founding Secretary), Ruth Medd, Kate Bosser, Maggie Moore, Jenni Colwill, Kate Gunn, Patricia Grimshaw, Jennifer McKay, Tracy Osterfield, Courtney Petersen, Alexandra Wedutenko, Julie Ankers, Ruth Campbell, Jacqueline Cauchi, Christine Goode, Dominique Hogan-Doran, Kerrie Howard, Susanne Knowles, Susan Magarey, Patricia ni Ivor, Marie Sullivan, Judy Tyers, Anne Buttsworth and Elizabeth Prideaux.
