The San Antonio Women's Celebration and Hall of Fame was established in 1984 by a Governor's Commission for Women appointed by Texas Governor Mark White. Twenty-nine women from throughout the state came together to recognize contributions made by women in Texas. The group established the Texas Women's Hall of Fame, and promoted events such as Women in Texas Today. Each city was urged to have a women's event recognizing local women and their contributions. The first event held was Women in Texas Today: A Local Contribution, whose goal was to recognize fifty outstanding San Antonio women in thirteen categories. In addition to nominating important women, the organization awards outstanding high school and college students. |

The San Antonio Women's Celebration and Hall of Fame was established in 1984. The organization evolved out of a Governor's Commission for Women appointed by Texas Governor Mark White in 1983. Twenty-nine women from throughout the state came together to recognize contributions made by women in Texas. The group established the Texas Women's Hall of Fame, and promoted events such as Women in Texas Today. Each city was urged to have a women's event recognizing local women and their contributions. Dr. Gloria Jo Floyd became San Antonio's representative to the Governors' Commission. A group of about thirty women, including presidents of various local women's organizations, were invited to Ruth Bower's home to discuss San Antonio's participation. The first event held was A Women in Texas Today: A Local Contribution, and included Dr. Floyd as chairperson and Dr. Linda Foster as co-chairperson. The goal of the event was to recognize fifty outstanding San Antonio women in thirteen categories. It was then decided to hold the event annually, and form The San Antonio Women's Celebration and Hall of Fame. In addition to nominating important women, the organization awards outstanding high school and college students with scholarships at a formal luncheon.

The San Antonio Women's Celebration and Hall of Fame Records consist of administrative records, clippings, photographs, scrapbooks, printed materials, and a time capsule. The collection documents the everyday business of the organization from its inception in 1984 to 2008. Most of the administrative records are in the form of correspondence and reports, and are grouped by a particular committee or officer. There are two scrapbooks of photographs, clippings, and programs covering induction ceremonies and scholarship luncheons from 1984 to 1995. There are approximately one hundred and fifty 8x10 color photographs of women inducted from 1984 to 1995. A small amount of these photographs are not identified. The collection also includes a time capsule to be opened in 2025. The addition expands the years to 2008 and consists of much of the same material, including administrative records, photographs, scrapbooks, and clippings; as well as negatives and contact sheets.
