Series 1: Institutes (boxes 1 - 54)

Summer Institute (boxes 1 - 46)

The Summer Institute is co-hosted annually (since 1976) by HERS and Bryn Mawr College.

Processing note: Order was imposed by placing the information into three categories: Administrative, Curriculum and Evaluations. Though these categories are not in brackets, their titles are not original. "Curriculum: NOTEBOOK" indicates the notebook given to each participant of the Summer Institute; the original notebooks were divided by tabs, and these tab titles are used to label the folders. Marketing Binders follow Evaluations; original notebook tab titles are used to label the folders. The Marketing Binders are often followed by Summer Institute Account Binders, with tabs determining the folder titles. SI is the acronym for Summer Institute.
