The records of the Michigan Women's Studies Association include minutes from the Board of Directors, records relating to annual conferences, projects, exhibits, special events as well as presidential administrative records. Other materials include correspondence, news releases, newsletters, and information about the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame and Cooley-Haze House. There is also presidential correspondence and the resource files of Betty MacDowell for the publication "Michigan Women: First and Founders." The resource files include files on individual women and women's issues.

The records were left in their original arrangement after transfer from the organization. A detailed description can be found in the Series Description section of the finding aid. However, the order in which the material is described does not match the arrangement.
