Gifts of Susan B. Anthony Memorial Committee of California, 1945-1956. This collection forms part of the Susan B. Anthony Memorial collections, which were started by a group of California women who collected all types of material about the life and work of Susan B. Anthony. This group, the Susan B. Anthony Memorial Committee of California, was headed by Una Richardson Winter, Director, and Alice L. Park, Associate Director. They donated the manuscript and printed materials now known as the Susan B. Anthony Memorial collections to the Huntington Library between 1945-1956.

It includes papers related to the passage of a constitutional amendment granting suffrage to women, her autobiography, and a biographical sketch of Kitty Marion. Significant persons represented in the collection include: Mary Hunter Austin, Frederick Baker, Alice Stone Blackwell, Henry Brown Blackwell, Luther Burbank, Carrie Chapman Catt, Clara Shortridge Foltz, Ida Husted Harper, Mary McHenry Keith, Sofia M. Loebing, Katherine Marie "Kitty" Marion, Frances Munds, Estelle Sylvia Pankhurst, Agnes E. Ryan, Henry Stevens Salt, Ellen Clark Sargent, Caroline M. S.
