The South Dakota Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, founded in 1913 as the South Dakota Home Economics Association, unites professionals in family and consumer sciences to advance education, research and standards in the field. It organizes seminars, conferences and policy guidance, and advocates for legislation to improve family life. The Association also collaborates with related professional groups to address societal issues impacting the field. The materials in this collection, including newsletters, meeting minutes and correspondence, offer valuable historical insight into the organization's development, leadership and impact on family and consumer sciences in South Dakota.
