The series History, 1974-1994 (0.1 linear feet), consists of a 1974 handwritten chronology of the AWC, a memo concerning the "Proposed Organizational Structure of Academic Women Committee and Program Format," a summary of meeting topics from 1976 to 1980, notes on the issues and accomplishments of the AWC, a listing of women involved in the group, and a pamphlet issued by the AWC which sets forth the goals of the organization and a list of the co-chairs from 1975 to 1985.

The series Awards, 1971-2008 (2 linear feet), contains materials documenting the annual awards sponsored by the AWC. Prior to 1988 these awards were called the Academic Women's Caucus Awards, but in 1988 the name was changed to the Sarah Goddard Power Awards in memory of Regent Sarah Goddard Power. There is some correspondence relating to the awards, lists of nominees, and other awards ceremony materials including the typescripts of the 1987 and 1988 awards ceremony presentations. Materials relating to the AWC Awards can also be found in the Correspondence series. There are eighteen folders containing the nomination forms submitted to the AWC awards committee. They provide a valuable resource for the study of outstanding women and men at the university. Each nomination form contains an extensive resume of the individual nominated for the award. This series also contains materials relating to the Alumnae Athena Awards, the American Association of University Women Awards, the Josephine Nevins Keal Fellowship, and the Bunting Fellowship Program. While the AWC is not the funding organization of these awards and fellowships, it nominates women for them.
