The American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (AAHPER) is a service organization whose founding dates back to November 27, 1885 when William Gilbert Anderson, an instructor of physical education at Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn, invited a group of people working in the gymnastic field to come together to discuss their profession. A successor to the American Physical Education Association, it changed it name in 1975 to the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, and, in 1979 to the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD). As of 2003, AAHPERD was an alliance of six national associations, which includes the National Dance Association, and six regional associations. It sponsors conventions, professional development, scholarships, and publications. Headquartered in Reston, VA, it has 26,000 members. The bulk of this collection consists of the official financial and administrative files and reports of the American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (AAHPER), a division of the Department of the National Education Association in Washington, D.C. These records appear in ditto, mimeo, carbon copies, and xerox reproductions of the originals on file in the AAHPER Archives in Washington, D.C. The material covers the Association's activities from 1931-1968. Of particular interest are: a History of the Dance Section 1930-50 and a card file bibliography by AAHPER and its antecedents with page references to dance material. less
