Carter Family -- group portrait, circa 1976

The majority of the Gretta Moll DeWald papers span from 1977-1980, reflecting Dewald’s role as Chair of the Women's Division of the Democratic National Committee during the Jimmy Carter presidency. The papers are comprised of articles, agendas, briefings, legislation, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, minutes, correspondence, reports, and pamphlets, all surrounding Dewald’s career working in a grassroots capacity to ratify ERA in the South, Midwest and New England. The collection of papers is broken down into five series: Carter Administration, Democratic Party Politics in Georgia, Subject files, Photographs and Textiles and Artifacts. The following series are artifacts, textiles and other paraphernalia, tangible illustrations of the many political and social movements that Dewald played as an active participant.
