Correspondence, 1930-1945
Scope and Contents
Organized to discover human needs, to plan for the meeting of such needs, to bring about and maintain improved policies, standards, and methods of social work, to develop team work in the conduct of social work activities, and to create intelligent public opinion concerning problems of welfare, the Rockford Council of Social Agencies helped area citizens in a variety of ways. This collection, only a small part of the records generated by the council, gives some insight into the organization’s activities from 1930 to 1945. The minutes and correspondence reveal the group’s efforts to minimize the difficulties encountered by people during the Great Depression and World War II. Although a small collection, the materials reveal some of the social concerns of this time period.
