About Us:
The GSUSA Collection & Archive includes objects and records that reflect the history of the oldest and largest extant women-led organization in the United States, thus serving as a window into the role and agency of women in our country from the early 19th century to the present. The Collection spans centuries, genres, styles, and formats (including digital) and includes corporate records, personal writings, ephemera, media, scrapbooks, fine and decorative arts, farm and camp equipment, furnishings, textiles, sculpture, jewelry, silver, international gifts, product and memorabilia, awards and recognitions, and Girl Scouts uniforms, badges, and insignia, as well as personal letters and writings of significant people associated with the Movement, such as Juliette Gordon Low, GSUSA Founder. The Collection, interpreted to the public and fully aligned and supporting the strategic priorities and mission of GSUSA, is located in and embodied at National Headquarters, New York, NY, the Edith Macy Conference Center, Briarcliff Manor, NY, and the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace, Savannah, GA.
