The Indiana Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (IAIAW) was founded in 1970 by seventeen Indiana Colleges. The purpose of the organization was to establish policies by which women's intercollegiate sports in Indiana would by governed. The IAIAW held monthly meetings and was led by a chairman and five commissioners who were elected by member schools.
The chief function of the IAIAW was to organize State Championship Tournaments for women's sports in Indiana. The organization also mediated disputes and voted on rules and regulations for sport events. In 1976 the IAIAW founded the Eleanor St. John Award. Dr. Eleanor St. John was chairperson of the Women's Physical Education Department at Indiana State University and the founder and first chairperson of the IAIAW. The award named for her was presented yearly to an outstanding senior woman athlete who exemplified scholarship, leadership and service.
The IAIAW was originally called the Indiana Women's Intercollegiate Sports Organization (IWISO), but its name was changed in the mid 1970's. By 1981 the Indiana Association of Intercollegiate Athletics had grown to 33 member schools. Sometime after 1982 the NCAA absorbed women's collegiate sports and the IAIAW ceased to exist.

The collection contains sixteen manuscript boxes of material covering activities of the Indiana Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women from 1971-1982. The first six boxes contain organizational material including minutes, correspondence, reports, general records, scholarship, and the Eleanor St. John Award. The final ten boxes contain information on tournaments held by the IAIAW organized by sport, and photographs relating to the Eleanor St. John Award and tournament Champions and teams. The information was kept in original order as much as possible. Photographs are stored in visual collections.
