Abstract:
The collection consists of minutes, correspondence, memoranda, reports, publications, speeches, statements, and news clippings generated or collected by the American Public Welfare Association. APWA, founded in 1930 as the American Association of Public Welfare Officials, is a professional organization for staff members of public agencies and others interested in public welfare. APWA studies and distributes information regarding legislation and also offers its members professional development opportunities. The collection is particularly strong in documenting the development of Social Security legislation during the 1950s in addition to such other legislative concerns of the 1950s and 1960s as juvenile delinquency, intergovernmental relations, and Aid to Dependent Children.

History

A group of public welfare officials attending the 1929 National Conference of Social Work (NCSW) in San Francisco agreed there was a need for an independent professional organization of their own. The group voted to organize such an association at the 1930 NCSW meeting. The American Association of Public Welfare Officials, organized June 12, 1930, in Boston, was the result.

Association founders agreed initially to limit their membership to state public welfare officials and, as the board minutes of June 12, 1930 expressed it, "that the object of the Association should be to make these officials acquainted and bring about a good exchange of information." Later, membership in the association was opened to professional staff members of public agencies at the federal, state, and local levels. Among the first areas of concern were "interstate problems and to promote reciprocity in the transfer of cases to their proper places of residence and to bring about as large a degree of universal legislation as possible in regard to settlement laws," (June 12, 1930 board minutes).

A grant from The Rockefeller Foundation's Spelman Fund enabled the association to hire, in 1931 , its first administrator, Frank Bane, formerly commissioner of the Virginia State Department of Public Welfare. The association grew rapidly, from the initial 151 persons to nearly 1,000 members two years later. In May 1932, the association changed its name to the American Public Welfare Association. (APWA)

One of APWA's earliest activities was promoting passage of the Social Security legislation in 1935. Indeed, Social Security has been one of the organization's long-time interests. APWA faithfully monitored Congressional action on the amendments of the 1950s and 1960s. Among APWA's other legislative interests have been aging, medical care, and Aid to Dependent Children.

APWA also organized annual regional conferences and biennial national conferences, remembering the association's original goal of giving officials a chance for "good exchange of information." Executive Development Seminars were offered in the 1960s to give officials a chance to improve their managerial skills.

Initially, the association's offices were in Washington D.C., but in 1932, APWA moved its headquarters to Chicago. It returned to Washington D.C. in 1974, where APWA remains at this writing.

For more detailed historical information, the researcher should consult the article regarding the American Public Welfare Association in Social Service Organizations , Peter Romanofsky and Clarke A. Chambers, editors, pp. 131-138. Additionally, Narayan Viswanathan's "The Role of the American Public Welfare Policies in the United States: 1930-1960" (Ph.D. dissertation, Columbia University School of Social Work, 1961), offers more detail. To mark APWA's 50th anniversary, the American Public Welfare Association's journal Public Welfare (vol. 38, #1, Winter 1980) contains historical material. (See folder 1:1).


Collection Scope and Content Note

The American Public Welfare Association's records offer researchers material regarding public welfare officials' collective efforts to improve themselves and the legislation they must administer. Even though the collection dates from 1930-1970, most of the material hails from the 1950s-1960s.

The collection consists of minutes, correspondence, memoranda, reports, publications, speeches, statements and news clippings generated or collected by APWA.

The collection is organized into three series: Administration, Activities and Reference. The Administration series includes minutes of board of directors and committee meetings plus supporting documentation in addition to the proceedings of conferences and seminars. If the Administration series is considered the records from "inside" the organization, then the Activities series can be thought of as the records generated as a result of APWA's efforts that extended into the "outside" world: legislative activities, publications and other projects. The Reference series includes misc. information and speeches that do not directly relate to APWA's work. APWA's publications and directories are filed in the Social Welfare History Archives' ephemera collection.

The collection has several strengths, chief among them the legislative files. Although APWA headquarters were in Chicago between 1932-1974, the organization maintained a Washington D.C. office staffed by a representative who followed legislation of interest to APWA and occasionally spoke on behalf of the organization. Elizabeth Wickenden served as legislative representative until 1951, when she was succeeded by Marie Lane. Harold Hagen succeeded Lane in 1963.

The legislative files provide a picture of the breadth of APWA's legislative interests: particularly the development of Social Security legislation between 1950-1962. Correspondence between APWA's Executive Director Loula Dunn, Washington representatives Wickenden and Lane, and members of Congress and various public officials provide insight into the APWA's efforts and positions on behalf of Social Security.

Other legislative topics that are well documented are health and medical assistance bills, intergovernmental relations, juvenile delinquency, migratory labor, and reciprocal support of dependents.

APWA's efforts to educate its members while giving public officials a chance to convene and compare experiences are well documented in the conferences and seminars sub-series. Most of the papers that were delivered at APWA regional and national conventions between 1953-1961 are included, and these speeches provide an idea of public welfare workers' concerns and interests over time.

In addition to the legislative files and the papers of conferences and seminars, APWA's efforts in the fields of medical care, Aid to Dependent Children, and aging are documented. Additionally, APWA closely followed the controversial public assistance plan of Newburgh, NY. The researcher can follow this controversy through correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, public statements, and press releases.

With the exception of the board of director's minutes dating from 1930-1963, the collection is weak in documenting APWA's internal administration. No financial, legal, or personal records are included. Committee records are scant.

Besides staff members Executive Director Loula Dunn, Elizabeth Wickenden, Marie Lane, Harold Hagen, Pearl Bierman, medical care consultant; and Guy Justis, the executive director who succeeded Dunn; the collection contains a variety of material from federal, state and local public officials. They include Katharine Lenroot, Wilbur Cohen, Oveta Culp Hobby, William Mitchell, Katherine Oettinger, Raymond Houston, Val M. Keating, Robert Lansdale, Norman Lourie, Agnes Meyer, Harry O. Page, Jay L. Roney, Charles Schottland, John Tramburg and Ellen Winston. Little information regarding former APWA Executive Directors Frank Band (1931-1936), Fred Hoehler (1936-1943) and Howard Russell (1943-1949) is included.

Related Material

Related collections include the papers of Fred K. Hoehler (SWB H671) who was APWA executive director from 1936 to 1943, the Loula Dunn collection (SW 48), and the Leroy Halbert papers (SW 26).

Detailed Description of the Collection
 Location  Title
 
Administration, 1933-1970 ((8 linear feet. Boxes 1-20))  
Note In the Administration series are association by-laws, minutes of board of directors' and its executive committee meetings, policy statements approved by the board of directors, some correspondence relating to proposed association projects that would have required the financial support of foundations, and association resolutions of 1969. Included with the minutes of board of directors' meetings are minutes of executive committee meetings and supporting documentation.
The series also includes minutes, reports, and membership lists of various association councils and committees. With the exception of the Committee on Social Work Education and Personnel, these committee records are very incomplete. APWA reorganized its committee structure in 1965, creating divisions (or areas of interest), which association members were urged to join. Some records of the Division on Administration are included. Few records of the remaining three divisions are included.
Conference and seminar reports make up the remainder of this series. The conferences and seminars sub-series, 1934-1969, includes programs, summaries, minutes, participants speeches and formal papers, photographs and some are the most complete during the decade of the 1950s. The APWA sponsored six regional conferences yearly: Northeast, Southeast, Central States, Southwest, Mountain States and West Coast. Additionally, national round table conferences were held every other year.
Overall, the conferences and seminars sub-series is arranged chronologically, although arrangement within each conference report varies. Generally, the first folder of each conference contains a program that lists session subjects and speakers. The conference papers are then arranged in the order the sessions appear in the program. However, a few conferences are arranged by subject. In those cases, tables of contents or indices (filed in the first folder of the conference report) explain the arrangement. There are no programs or tables of contents available for the 1955 Biennial Conference or the 1959 Southwest Regional Conference. In the former, the researcher must rely on the tab dividers that designate subject areas. Colored sheets or paper divide subject areas in the 1959 conference.
Some of the papers presented at APWA conferences were ultimately published in the association's quarterly journal, Public Welfare, or as separate publications. A few of these publications have been included in this sub-series. Occasionally, APWA staff members annotated papers as they considered them for publication. Initials of association staff members that appear on papers include: L.D. (Loula Dunn, executive director, 1949-1964), V.D. (Virginia Doscher, publications advisor), M.M. (Malvin Morton, public information specialist), and P.B. (Pearl Bierman, medical care consultant).
Correspondence and misc. planning materials are included in the various seminar reports. The association's Executive Development Program, 1966-1970, is fairly well documented.

Activities, 1944-1963 ((9 linear feet. Boxes 21-43))  Box , Folder
Note Included in the Activities series are legislative files: correspondence, reports, speeches and testimony, and office memoranda generated by the association's Washington, DC office between 1944 and 1963. During that time, three APWA staff members served as the association's Washington office representative: Elizabeth Wickenden (to 1952), Marie Lane (1952 -1963), and Harold Hagen (1963- ). The legislative sub-series is arranged alphabetically by subject or legislative issue. This subject arrangement was established by the Washington office. Also included are copies of APWA Federal Legislative Objectives (1949, 1956, 1959-1968) and copies of testimony or speeches by association representatives regarding various legislative issues. As a rule, copies of bills, selections from the Congressional Record and other reference material were removed from these files.
The series also includes some records generated by the association's medical care consultants (Pearl Bierman and Mary Davis). Additionally, the medical care sub-series contains minutes of the APWA and the American Public Health Association's joint committee on medical care (1949, 1951-1952), and minutes of the Inter-Association Committee on Health, 1949-1961.
Correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, press releases, and policy statements regarding the controversial welfare plans of the city of Newburgh, NY are also included in this series.
The Research and Publications sub-series contains correspondence, research and reference materials, drafts and final reports of various APWA-sponsored publications. The publications include two studies on Aid to Dependent Children: Future Citizens All (1952), American Dependency Challenge (1963), The Needs of Older People and Public Welfare Services to Meet Them by Elizabeth Wickenden (1953); and studies and surveys of various state and city welfare departments services (1934-1953). These reports examine the departments services and offer recommendations for improvements. Reciprocal agreement studies (1938-1939), are also included.
APWA staff members often served on Federal Department of Health, Education, and Welfare advisory committees. Records of these committees (minutes, agendas, correspondence, research and study materials, statements as well as drafts and the final reports) are all included in the HEW Advisory Committees sub-series. The activities of the Advisory Council on Public Welfare, of which APWA Executive Director Guy Justis (1964-1973) was a member, is particularly well documented. The advisory committee's efforts resulted in a 1966 report, Having the Power, We Have the Duty. Materials from other HEW advisory committees may be found among the Washington D.C. office's legislative papers.

Reference ((2 linear feet. Boxes 43-45))  
Note The Reference series is composed of materials the APWA apparently collected or received merely for information purposes. Most of the series is an alphabetically-arranged assemblage of speeches regarding social welfare issues. The individuals read these papers before such groups as the Council on Social Work Education, Congressional committee hearings, or state and local welfare agencies. (Speeches by APWA staff members or representatives before APWA conferences are filed in the conferences and seminars sub-series.) The APWA office generated the speeches file partially to aid Executive Director Loula Dunn's speech-writing tasks. For that reason, a small file of miscellaneous speech materials -- e.g., quotations -- is included in this sub-series.
