Content Summary:

Ivy Brookes became Vice-president of the Australia Association for the United Nations when it was formed in 1945, and was first chairwoman of the Association's Status of Women Committee. On her resignation from the Association in 1962 she was made a life-member.

The series is small and contains the constitution, an incomplete set of roneoed copies of agenda, minutes and reports from 1950 until 1962, together with notes and press cuttings.

The papers of Herbert Brookes were presented to the National Library in April 1967 by his widow Ivy Deakin Brookes. In October 1967 she deposited her own extensive collection, and together they form the Brookes Papers.
