Elsie Ray and the Founding of STC

Edward A. Malone Missouri University of Science and Technology

Abstract

Elsie Ray, a research librarian at Anaconda Copper Mining Company, was the prime mover in the effort to organize the Association of Technical Writers and Editors (TWE), one of the organizations that eventually became the Society for Technical Communication (STC). This article seeks to recover Ray's professional contributions and memorialize her as a significant figure in the history of the technical communication profession.
