Thereafter, the Tennessee College Women's Sports Federation (TCWSF) was also dissolved. Member institutions agreed to use the remaining resources of the Federation to organize the TCWSF archives. Jane Hooker of Memphis State University was awarded a $3,645 grant to oversee the 111 organization of the archives, publish the library finding aid to the collection, and distribute it to member institutions and their libraries, Southern Region II archives, and AIAW national archives. On April 20, 1983, Jane Hooker donated nine cartons of materials to the Mississippi Valley Collection in John Willard Brister Library at Memphis State University. These materials were collected while she served as TCWSF secretary-treasurer (1975-78); president-elect (1976-77); president (1977-79); and historian (1972-83). Included in this original collection were: correspondence, minutes of governing boards and assemblies, financial records, handbooks, newsletters, tournament records, and miscellaneous items from various women's organizations relevant to the Federation and its members. Betty-Erle Rhodes, a Memphis State University Library Science graduate assistant was hired to process the collection with assistance from Jane Hooker. The archives were processed in a simple chronological order and a temporary finding aid was prepared. According to the provisions of the Deed Gift Agreement, the collection (wath the exception of restricted ethics materials)was to be open for research in September 1983. This was delayed until 1986 when ethics materials would no longer be restricted and when numerous missing materials could be located and organized within the initial files. Between 1983 and 1988 three more cartons of materials were received from former TCWSF presidents Bettye Giles, Elma Roane, Nancy Lay, Jean Biddle, Nadine Gearin, Sharon Brown, and Patricia Bonner. Charlotte Peterson and Anna Ley /ngraham contributed additional financial and tournament records. Betty-Erle Rhodes, then on the Memphis/Shelby County Public Library staff, was hired to continue the collection as her time permitted. Funds were allocated to pay her by the hour. In order to coordinate the TCWSF collection with the Inventory of the AIAW Southern Region Archives, housed at Eastern Kentucky University, all of the additional items plus the ethics materials have been incorporated into one collection.
