These records document the activities of the local chapter of Alpha Epsilon Iota, a national women's medical sorority.

The Medical Faculty Auxiliary (MFA) of the School of Medicine at OHSU donated these materials in 1997, upon the 50th Anniversary of its creation. Long known (1947-85) as the "Faculty Wives Club" it has a long history of being both a social network for spouses and "significant others" of medical students and personnel and a source of fund-raising and volunteerism for various things not covered in budgets. The collection expands on those activities.

Oregon-born Ivan Medhurst Woolley graduated from the Oregon Medical School (1919) and became a general practitioner for 10 years before transitioning into radiology, which he practiced for another 32 years. The collection contains a variety of papers, correspondence, bound texts, office ledgers, artifacts, and photographs.
