Historical Note

The Planned Parenthood sexual education collection was curated by Donna Bookout, who served as the education coordinator for Planned Parenthood of East Central Indiana. During the nine years as coordinator, Bookout worked with multiple local organizations to create sex education curricula for children, adolescents, and adults. She also collected a variety of literature on the subject of sex education through the years, all of which reflect the public's changing attitude on sexual health and relationships. Bookout retired from Planned Parenthood in 1994 at the age of 62 but continued to assist with sex education, youth development, and child abuse prevention programs in Delaware County.

The Planned Parenthood Federation of America was founded by Margaret Sanger on October 16, 1916. The non-profit organization has since become the largest single provider of health services in the United States. Planned Parenthood of Delaware County was established in Muncie in 1965.
