Processing Information:

The American Social Health Association records comprise multiple acquisitions that form two separate sets of records. The original acquisition was received in 1966, with an additional shipment arriving in 1979. These records, totaling 88 linear feet, were arranged and described in the early 1980s and a finding aid was produced in 1983. Two supplemental acquisitions, totaling 20 linear feet, were received in 1982 and 1989. These materials were inventoried and a preliminary description was written in 1994.

Formerly, the original acquisition and the supplements were described in two separate finding aids, making it necessary for patrons to consult multiple documents in order to obtain complete information on the ASHA records. As part of a project to mount finding aids online, the archives has merged the information about the ASHA records into one comprehensive finding aid.

Alternate Format:

Microfilm EditionThe minutes of the board of directors, executive committee, and annual meeting of the American Social Health Association are available on microfilm. Minutes of the American Federation for Sex Hygiene (1910-1914), the American Vigilance Association (1912-1913), and the Education Committee of the Society for Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxis (1913) are also on microfilm. Supporting documents e.g., reports and lists, were not filmed. The records were filmed by Anacomp Micrographics, Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1981.

History

At the beginning of the twentieth century venereal disease was a prevalent concern for social health organizations. Diseases such a syphilis and gonorrhea affected many people and the social stigma attached to sexually transmitted disease prevented most people from discussing or addressing means of treatment for venereal disease. In 1913, at a conference in Buffalo, New York, several organizations dedicated to fighting prostitution and venereal disease joined together to form the American Social Hygiene Association (ASHA). Key figures in the initial organization included John D. Rockefeller, Jr., initial financial contributor; Charles Eliot, president of Harvard University; Jane Addams of Chicago's Hull House; Dr. William Snow, Stanford University professor and secretary of the California State Board of Health; Dr. Thomas Hepburn, leader of the Connecticut social hygiene movement; David Starr Jordan, chancellor of Stanford University; James Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore; philanthropist, Grace H. Dodge; and R. Fulton (Robert Fulton) Cutting of New York. The association was established to stop the venereal disease epidemic by educating the public about sexually transmitted infections, working to break down the social stigma attached to VD, and encouraging high moral standards. In 1914, ASHA established its national headquarters in New York City, a western division office in San Francisco, and a central states division office in Chicago.

ASHA immediately went to work to fight VD as the United States prepared for the first world war. Venereal disease was a significant problem in the military. ASHA worked with the U.S. War Department on a vigorous anti-VD campaign. Their efforts involved two primary strategies. The first was to educate soldiers about venereal diseases and their transmission. The second strategy was to eliminate prostitution, which was believed to be the primary vehicle for VD transmission among the armed forces. ASHA was successful in shutting down many of the prostitution rings that traditionally surrounded military bases. Due to its contribution to the war effort, ASHA gained national attention and succeeded in creating public awareness of VD.

During the 1920s, ASHA served as a central coordinator for the local or regional committees, doctors, public health officials, and social welfare agencies that were combating venereal disease and vice. In addition to the continued fight against venereal disease and prostitution, ASHA published the Journal of Social Hygiene and the Social Hygiene Bulletin .In addition, ASHA conducted studies on the prevalence of syphilis, undertook community vice and VD surveys, published synopses of laws affecting prostitution and vice, and supported legislation which required a premarital exam for syphilis. The organization also promoted character and sex education as a means of preventing the spread of venereal disease. The ASHA educational program emphasized preparation for a wholesome family life, avoiding venereal disease, and physical as well as moral fitness.

During World War II, ASHA fulfilled a role reminiscent of its work during World War I, serving on the VD Coordinating Committee for the U.S. military and working against prostitution. ASHA's efforts contributed to a fifty percent drop in VD infection rates in the military during the first years of the war. In 1944, the army began using the "wonder drug" penicillin as a cure for syphilis and, by the late 1950s, ASHA believed that syphilis would no longer pose a serious health threat. As a result, the Journal of Social Hygiene discontinued publication.

Beginning in the 1950s, ASHA expanded its family life education efforts and added new programs aimed at drug and alcohol abuse. The Family Life program explored experimental school curricula and the drug abuse program set up regional committees that published scholarly papers. In 1960, ASHA changed its name from "hygiene" to "health" to reflect its broader approach. The association's newsletter became "Social Health News."In the 1960s, ASHA studied the extent of narcotics addiction in the United States and became a primary source of public information on the problem. During the 1970s, ASHA also continued its work on venereal disease. Despite the use of antibiotics, health problems such as syphilis and gonorrhea persisted. In addition, genital herpes, human papillomavirus, and hepatitis B were identified. ASHA developed new programs, such as the Venereal Diseases Research Fund (1975) and a Herpes Resource Center (1979), in response to the continuing problem of sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, ASHA increased its activities in the area of legislation and public policy and established an Office on Public and Government Affairs in Washington. In 1975, the ASHA newsletter changed its name from "Social Health News" to "VD News" and, in the next year, the association moved from New York to Palo Alto, California.

During the 1980s, ASHA continued to educate the public about sexually transmitted diseases, primarily by means of telephone information and referral hotlines, such as the National STD Hotline and the National Aids Hotline. The association also continued to advocate for public policies to combat STD's and increased funding for research. The identification of the AIDS virus added a new area of concern to the association's long fight against sexually transmitted diseases.

Collection Scope and Content Note

The American Social Health Association (ASHA) records chronicle the association’s efforts to prevent and eradicate venereal disease, prostitution, and drug abuse from 1905 to 1990. The records trace the work of ASHA, which was known as the American Social Hygiene Association until 1960, and its predecessors: the American Federation for Sex Hygiene, the American Vigilance Association, and the American Society for Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxis. In particular, the records document ASHA’s legal and protective measures, research projects, and educational programs. The records also provide a rich resource on issues surrounding prostitution, venereal disease, sex education, family life education, and drug abuse. Equally important, the ASHA records also reflect contemporary attitudes about sexuality, morality, disease, and gender roles as well as the values of ASHA’s leadership and supporters.

ASHA conducted numerous investigations in support of its legal and protective efforts. Community survey records, legal reference files, research project working files and reports, and field representatives’ correspondence are among the records that document ASHA’s investigative and research activities. The association’s community surveys provide information on prostitution and VD as well as housing, recreation, sanitation, and other social factors. The studies also include information on local public health programs and the availability of “quack” remedies. ASHA also conducted venereal disease research studies. Most prominently, these studies include the Deschin Study of 600 adolescents who sought treatment for VD at New York City clinics between 1958 and 1961. Records produced by the study include the 30-page questionnaires for all 600 subjects and narrative summaries of selected cases.

In addition to legal and protective measures, ASHA attempted to halt prostitution, promiscuity, and VD through a variety of educational programs. The association disseminated information about the spread, consequences, and appropriate treatment of VD; promoted biological sex education and a healthy lifestyle; and encouraged sexual morality. Pamphlets, posters, radio scripts, periodicals, curriculum materials, public service announcements, promotional materials, board and committee minutes, staff correspondence, reports, correspondence with the public, budgets, and program materials are some of the resources that document these efforts. For example, kits containing promotional and informational materials trace the annual Social Hygiene Day from 1937.

The records also provide information on cooperation between ASHA and government agencies or other social health organizations. In particular, the files trace the association’s work the military and United States Public Health Service during the first and second world wars to prevent prostitution near military camps and provide education to soldiers on avoiding and treating VD.

The ASHA records not only document social health initiatives, but also chronicle the formation, administration and funding of a private-sector social welfare organization and reflect the development of federated fund-raising as well as its impact on a national association's program. In particular, board and committee minutes, solicitation letters and acknowledgments, correspondence, annual budgets, and reports are among the records that document the association’s fund-raising efforts and relations with community chests and funding organizations. The records also reflect the activities of ASHA staff, especially longtime executives and staff members William Snow, C. Walter Clark, Bascom Johnson, and Paul Kinsie.

2.3. Annual Reports, 1914-1975 
Note Two kinds of annual reports are available. Program reports , 1914 to 1975, are narrative resumes of program activities during a given year. The reports are listed in chronological order by year. They are in the form of pamphlets, articles, or special issues of the Journal of Social Hygiene or Social Health News , or typescripts of reports presented at annual meetings. Most are broken down into program areas, e.g., legal and protective measures, public health measures, or public information and education. The reports generally include statistical tabulations, although not in a systematic format. In 1928, ASHA issued a detailed report regarding programs and services rendered that includes a geographical break-down of service areas.
Membership corporation reports , 1914 to 1943, were required by New York State. They include summaries of real and financial property and of income and expenditures as well as lists of new members added during the year.

Series 3. Finances and Fund-raising, 1914-1975 
Note ASHA's efforts to obtain financial support for its programs focused initially on individual contributors, particularly ASHA members. It also sought and received funds from foundations, starting with the Rockefeller-funded Bureau of Social Hygiene in 1919. Beginning during World War II, ASHA relied increasingly on funds raised through inclusion in cooperative community appeals. These "community chest" campaigns (they later became known as "united funds") provided the major share of the ASHA budget in the post-World War II era. Because many of its activities were directed at armed forces personnel and communities affected by defense mobilization, ASHA also participated in special coordinated fund-raising appeals with other defense-related service organizations. Subseries 3.2 to 3.6, described below, collectively document ASHA fund-raising activities. Frequently, the substance of the appeals contain descriptions of ASHA programs and activities, occasionally with reference to specific localities.
 
3.1. Budgets, 1917-1962 
Note Materials relating to development of annual budgets, usually in the form of proposed budgets as presented to the board of directors. Supplementary estimates, memoranda, and other working papers are occasionally included. See also the minutes of board and executive committee meetings (SUBSERIES 2.2) and the membership corporation reports (SUBSERIES 2.3).

3.2. Direct Solicitation, 1932-1962 
Note Individual fund-raising solicitations and acknowledgments, 1932-1962; form letters, 1932-1943; appeals to special contributors, 1946-1951; and enlistment of sponsors all played an important role in ASHA's direct fund-raising efforts. Individual campaigns in New York City, 1946-1962, and in Chicago reflect the absence of local community chest campaigns to meet ASHA's funding needs in these cities.

Note John D. Rockefeller, Jr. established the Bureau of Social Hygiene in 1913 to support efforts against prostitution, vice, narcotics, and police corruption. In 1919, he offered to support ASHA's program with two dollars for every dollar it raised from other sources. The files contain annual applications for continued support that often include summaries of the year's efforts. They also include related correspondence with Raymond B. Fosdick who, in addition to his position with the Bureau, was chairman of the ASHA finance committee.

3.5. Community Chests, 1945-1962 
Note Contained here are ASHA field representatives' reports and correspondence with local community chest officials that reflect efforts to include ASHA in local campaigns. Occasionally, the reports contain references to local social hygiene conditions. The bulk of the subseries is arranged alphabetically by state and, with the exception of major cities, chronologically therein. Box 31, Folders 3 through11 at the beginning of the subseries pertain to general community chest-related issues.
ASHA's relations with the National Budget Committee (NBC) are also documented in the subseries. Jointly sponsored by Community Chests and Councils of America and the National Social Welfare Assembly, NBC reviewed and coordinated the budgets of member organizations while its subsidiary, the National Quota Committee (NQC), set standards for local campaigns and distributed the resulting funds among the member organizations. Records include the general materials concerning NBC's relations with its member agencies, followed by records relating specifically to ASHA-NBC/NQC cooperation. Both are arranged chronologically.

Note Series 4.2 consists of files on individual members of the ASHA office staff arranged alphabetically by name. The files contain primarily memoranda and other internal communications between staff members that reflect the individual's particular area of responsibility. As a result, some of the staff correspondence files supplement records in other series. For example, correspondence files for Edgar Cummings, Mabel G. Lesher, Samuel Robbins, Esther Sweeney, and Ellis White relate closely to the education division records in SERIES 6. Individuals with significant program responsibilities are listed below, together with their particular position or area of activity. See also SUBSERIES 11.5 for articles authored by staff members.

4.3. Field Representatives, 1952-1953 
Note ASHA field representatives included both regional representatives and undercover investigators. For the former group, both itineraries and correspondence have been preserved. For the latter group, only itineraries remain. Regional representatives pursued ASHA program objectives through contacts with the military, private and governmental agencies, and the general public. Their files reflect personnel matters, travel arrangements, and correspondence with regional contacts. The records also include commentary on local conditions, which are discussed in further detail in representatives' field reports (SUBSERIES 7.3). Undercover investigators visited pharmacies, "men's specialists," herbal shops and other suspected providers of "quack" treatments. Often, they complained of fake symptoms in order to collect information on any treatments that were offered and to determine who was prescribing illegally. They also tried to determine the extent and nature of commercialized prostitution as well as the attitudes and efforts of law enforcement officials. Some of their findings are recorded in the ASHA surveys (SUBSERIES 7.2). The representatives' respective geographic assignments are listed in parentheses after their names.

4.4. Donald Clough, Executive Director, 1973-1985 
Note Series 4.4 contains records from Donald Clough, executive director of ASHA circa 1974 to 1986. The records are divided into two subseries, Subject Files and Board Member Files. Much of the material in the subject files relates to ASHA administration and policies, including personnel policy, finances, copyright, and contracts. A smaller portion of the subject files documents the Joint Labor Management Program in Drug Abuse, a pilot project that was conducted by ASHA and the AFL-CIO Department of Community Services in order to study employee drug abuse and develop treatment programs (See also SUBSERIES 6.4). The subseries also contains a few ASHA information and reference sheets. The board member files contain correspondence, pledge forms, CV's, and, occasionally, newspaper clippings from ASHA board members. Most of the material documents fund raising or board nominations and other board business. Some files contain more substantive correspondence about ASHA's projects and priorities.

Series 5. Public Relations, 1920-1985 (bulk: 1925-1964, 1975-1985) 
Note ASHA maintained a public relations division, long headed by Jean B. Pinney. The division was known under a wide variety of names, most prominently as Public Information and Education (PIE). This unit both sponsored public events and promoted ASHA's public image. In addition, it answered public correspondence regarding ASHA services. PIE also actively promoted the publication of stories and notices in the print media and sought to reach the public through radio, television, and film as well. Another aspect of public relations was the effort to protect ASHA's credibility by distancing the association from individuals and organizations that claimed to share ASHA's objectives, but whose tactics were suspect.
A major focus of the division's work was the annual Social Hygiene Day, inaugurated in 1937. Preparations and publicity for Social Hygiene Day created a steady stream of speeches, articles, posters, and media broadcasts. The presentation of ASHA awards, particularly Honorary Life Memberships and the prestigious William F. Snow Award, were often timed to coincide with Social Hygiene Day.
 
5.1. Office Materials, 1927-1964

5.2. Public Correspondence, 1948-1953 
Note Most of the public correspondence is routine, comprising general requests for information, orders for specific ASHA publications, subscriptions to the Journal of Social Hygiene , and ASHA membership applications. More individualized items, such as requests for advice on a specific personal problem, discussion of local prostitution and venereal disease conditions, or substantive discussion of an ASHA project, are interspersed throughout the correspondence. The correspondence is arranged alphabetically by state. Thereunder, most of the records are arranged chronologically. Larger cities are separated from the remainder of their respective states. Because of the bulk and the routine nature of the correspondence, only the following states were selected for retention: Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Alaska, the province of Quebec, and New York City.
Box 64, folder 9 through box 65, folder 27 contain correspondence with military officials, especially with chaplains and medical officers. Most of the correspondence relates to the distribution of ASHA materials among enlisted men. There is also discussion of prostitution and venereal disease conditions in communities near military bases and of ASHA's "character guidance program."
"Confidential letters," so designated by ASHA and apparently culled from general correspondence files, concern specific personal problems relating to sexual matters. Copies of these letters, with personal identifiers deleted, may be found in box 65, folder 29.

Note Series 5.4 contains materials pertaining to ASHA's efforts to use radio, television and film in its public education efforts, particularly by making available prepared materials for use in connection with local social hygiene activities. The series emphasizes radio, but also contains a few folders pertaining to television and film.
Series 5.4 contains radio program scripts dating from 1927 to1957. The scripts are divided into three categories; plays, speeches, and roundtable discussions. Each category is arranged chronologically. Scripts prepared by ASHA or featuring ASHA personnel are supplemented by many from other sources, notably state and city health departments. Many of the scripts were prepared and distributed in connection with Social Hygiene Day (see SUBSERIES 5.6). Among the individual authors and speakers represented are Walter Clarke, Newell Edson, Max Exner, Valeria Parker, and William F. Snow. A complete list of titles and authors is contained in folder box 67, folder 5.
The records also include correspondence and papers on a variety of broadcast-related matters. There are three folders devoted to the 1934 incident in which U.S. Surgeon General Thomas Parran refused to appear on a CBS radio program when he was not allowed to use the word "syphilis" on the air.

Note ASHA worked to distance itself from any person or organization in the field of social hygiene whose methods, motives, or information did not appear to be legitimate. Series 5.5 contains correspondence with and about individuals and organizations from which ASHA preferred to maintain a discreet distance. Most of the cases concern lecture tours or other forms of health education and involve requests for permission to use and distribute ASHA literature and films.

5.6. Social Hygiene Day, 1937-1960 
Note Beginning in 1937, ASHA sponsored an annual social hygiene day to draw attention to its program. Each year, it selected a theme and developed a series of materials aimed at encouraging local individuals and groups to sponsor events and publicity efforts. In addition, the national office released publicity materials to the national news media and arranged a Social Hygiene Day luncheon, usually in connection with the association's annual meeting. The records are arranged chronologically and reflect preparations for each year's observance. For most years, there is a folder devoted to the "program and publicity aids kit" that was distributed to assist local groups in their preparations. There are also copies of other promotional mailings, planning materials, and newspaper clippings. Records are most voluminous for the 1950 Social Hygiene Day, including extensive correspondence that suggests the nature and extent of the constituency ASHA reached through these efforts. Also included are materials related to the 1950 annual conference, an event surrounded by considerable controversy over anthropologist George Peter Murdock's presentation on the subject of premarital sex.

Series 6. Education, 1920-1975 
Note From its inception, ASHA was committed to an educational program aimed at reducing sexual promiscuity, prostitution, and venereal disease by combining the biological elements of sex education with efforts to shape the emotional, moral, and social aspects of personal development. The Education Division's projects have spanned the Association's entire history, in spite of competition from defense-related activities during wartime and financial problems during the Depression. At times, the division was temporarily combined with other ASHA offices. The bulk of the education projects that are documented in the records took place during the 1950s and 1960s. The project records are arranged in chronological order. Separate subseries have been established within this chronological sequence to highlight major projects.
 
6.1. Education Division, General, 1920-1963 
Note Early materials include a number of program statements and a 1920 survey of physicians regarding the objectives of sex education. Another early project involved 50 college presidents and other prominent educators in an effort to improve social hygiene education in the college curriculum. The collection also contains a compendium of ASHA education activities during 1932. Later projects include a series of special-purpose conferences, such as the 1958 Tri-City Conference on Illegitimacy and a 1951 "pre-induction health manual" aimed at late-adolescent boys. The manual was closely related to the 1954 conference on "Education for Personal and Family Living," which, in turn, led directly to the projects sponsored by the Bagley Foundation. (See SUBSERIES 6.2).

6.2. Bagley Project, "Education for Personal and Family Living," 1954-1965 
Note In 1953, the Education Division was reorganized. Ellis White became director of the division, and a new educational advisory committee was formed. A grant from the Bagley Foundation made possible the development of five regional projects, often referred to collectively as the "Bagley Project." The project emphasized teacher training as the primary means of incorporating family life education into the public school curriculum. The records include working papers and correspondence of the educational advisory committee, reports and correspondence relating to the Bagley Foundation's support for the project, and records concerning each of the five regional programs. A final report, issued in 1966, (box 89, folder 6) summarizes the project's accomplishments.

6.3. National Family Life Foundation, 1953-1970 
Note Anticipating the termination of Bagley Foundation funding, ASHA organized the National Family Life Foundation in 1960 to solicit funds for continuing the association's family life education programs. The Foundation failed to perform according to expectations and, after an ambitious start, it was dissolved in 1970. Documents include organizational correspondence, directors' minutes, fund-raising materials for the 1960-1961 period, and notice of dissolution dating from 1970.

6.4. Drug Abuse Projects, 1960-1975 
Note ASHA's concern with drug abuse surfaced in the early 1960s and, in 1962, it convened the National Committee on Narcotic Addiction. The association's own Narcotic Addiction Program was begun in 1963 under the direction of Charles Winick. It featured a four-pronged strategy for dealing with drug abuse: education, rehabilitation, enforcement, and research. These strategies were the focus of a major project funded by the American Association Against Addiction from 1971 to 1972.
The Pilot Drug Abuse Project operated in four communities (Canton and Toledo, Ohio, and Modesto and Santa Clara County, California). The project resulted in ongoing drug abuse task forces in both the eastern and western regions. As the United Drug Abuse Councils (UDAC), these groups published a five-part manual on drug abuse. Project records include minutes, correspondence, and publications.
Industrial drug abuse was another major focus of ASHA projects. The association co-sponsored a industrial drug abuse project with the AFL-CIO Department of Community Services (See also SUBSERIES 4.4). In addition, the records contain voluminous reference files on drug abuse in industry.

Note Education Division activities continued in the post-Bagley Foundation era under the directorship of Edgar C. Cummings (1959 to 1961) and Elizabeth S. Force (1962 to 1971). The program often operated as a consultant for various communities and organizations, though with much less coordination than had been achieved with Bagley Foundation funding. ASHA also participated in groups such as the National Council on Family Relations and the Sex Education and Information Council of the United States (SEICUS). The records also include six folders documenting opposition to sex education from 1966 to 1971, as well as publications, reference materials, and newspaper clippings.

Series 7. Legal and Protective Measures, 1907-1971 
Note ASHA's legal and protective efforts involved both a thorough knowledge of the law relating to vice and venereal disease and surveys to determine the geographical extent of and social issues surrounding prostitution, venereal disease, and related social hygiene problems. The records include legal reference files, materials relating to ASHA's surveys of social hygiene conditions, and field reports monitoring the response to survey findings. In addition to records on individual cities, the series documents the Saint Lawrence Seaway Project (1959-1961), which was an attempt to systematically use surveys and institutional contacts to fight prostitution and sexually transmitted diseases in port cities throughout the Great Lakes region.
 
7.1. Legal Reference Files, 1907-1963 (bulk, 1915-1930) 
Note These records were generated by the division known variously as the Department of Legal and Protective Measures and the Division of Law Enforcement and Social Protection. It promoted the adoption of appropriate, enforceable laws to correct conditions which encouraged the spread of commercialized prostitution and venereal disease. The records are in the form of an alphabetical subject file containing a variety of existing laws, legal briefs, court decisions, studies, and proposed legislation. There is very little correspondence.
Included in the alphabetical arrangement under "publications," but distinctly different in content from the other subject reference files, is material relating to the compilation of legal digests and supplements. The files include a "Supplement of Laws Dealing With Prostitution and Other Sex Offences" and a "Supplement of VD Laws and Regulations."

7.2. Surveys, 1919-1971 (bulk, 1925-1940) 
Note ASHA conducted numerous surveys of local conditions relating to social hygiene. The 53 reports that have been preserved here represent only a small fraction of the total. Most date from before World War II. The survey reports have been arranged alphabetically by state and, thereunder, by city. The depth of coverage varies significantly.
The records contain four general types of surveys. Comprehensive surveys investigated all aspects of a community that related to social hygiene. These might include venereal disease prevalence rates and patterns, medical treatment and control programs, the extent of vice conditions, law enforcement efforts, the availability of quack and drug store treatments, and educational and recreational programs designed as preventive measures. Surveys in this category include: Los Angeles, 1947; Washington, DC, 1930; Atlanta, 1926; St. Louis, 1923; and Cleveland, 1920. (Working files for the 1947 Los Angeles survey may be found in boxes 102-103.)
Medical and public health surveys were often a part of a broader community health and hospital survey. These tended to concentrate on public health treatment facilities and control programs but sometimes included studies of the extent of venereal disease. Among the medical and public health surveys are: San Francisco, 1931; Washington, DC, 1946; New Orleans, 1931; Kansas City, 1935; New Mexico (statewide), 1934; Harlem, 1927 and 1931; New York City, 1936; and San Antonio, 1939 and 1951. (Working files for the 1946 Washington survey may be found in boxes 103-104.)
Quackery and drug store surveys attempted to ascertain the availability of venereal disease "cures" other than those administered by a licensed physician. "Quacks" included a variety of herbalists, mystics, "men's specialists," and mail order firms. Drug stores were investigated to determine whether pharmacists were offering treatments without a doctor's prescription. Communities investigated include: Birmingham, 1933; Chicago, 1931; Newark, 1933; Cleveland, 1927; and Dallas, 1932.
ASHA is perhaps best known for its vice and law enforcement surveys. Under-cover investigators studied a community to determine the extent and nature of commercialized prostitution and the attitudes and efforts of law enforcement officials. The full reports of two early surveys (Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth, 1939; and Detroit, 1926) and a single, disguised survey report from 1962 are all that have been preserved. Cards containing summaries of prostitution survey findings for the period 1939 to 1971 are available for cities in the Alabama-Kansas portion of the alphabet (stored in card box 105). The disguised 1962 report and a number of statistical tabulations and studies (1948-1963) based on the prostitution surveys may be found in box 104. Additionally, reports filed by field representatives (SUBSERIES 7.3) contain frequent references to survey findings, but copies of the survey reports themselves are not included.
During the original arrangement and description of the ASHA records, Social Welfare History Archives staff reviewed each survey to determine which subjects were included. The following list of topics was developed: VD Incidence, Medical, Vice, Law Enforcement, and Quackery or Drug Stores. Each survey listed below includes a brief note to indicate which of these topics it includes.

7.3. Field Reports, 1926-1962 
Note Reports on local social hygiene conditions and efforts to improve them originated both from national staff members on program assignments and from regular regional field representatives. Typically, field reports described the purpose of a visit to a particular community, individuals contacted, conditions observed, actions taken, and recommendations for further action. The bulk of the material concerns the 1949 to 1954 period and consists largely of follow-ups to prostitution surveys conducted by regional field representatives. The records are arranged alphabetically by state and chronologically thereunder.
For states in the P-W portion of the alphabet only, the files also include a limited number of reports for the 1924 to 1949 period. These are less systematically structured and authored by various national staff members. The earlier reports tend to present more holistic views of community conditions than later reports, which focused heavily on relations with local law enforcement, community chests, and military officials.

7.4. St. Lawrence Seaway Project, 1959-1961 
Note Concern over the possible impact of the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway on prostitution, venereal disease rates, and general community life in Great Lakes port cities prompted ASHA to meet and correspond with local officials in cities such as Toledo, Cleveland, Chicago, Sault Saint Marie, and Duluth. Associate Executive Director T. Lefoy Richman headed ASHA's activities, often consulting with the World Health Organization, National Recreation Association, United Seaman's Service, and other interested parties.

Series 8. Venereal Disease Projects, 1919-1973 (bulk: 1930-1941, 1967-1972) 
Note  Series 8 contains records of ASHA's Venereal Disease Division as well as documents from projects and studies that focused on venereal disease. The latter include routine statistical studies of VD incidence, surveys conducted at the New York World's Fair in1939, public education projects aimed at reducing VD rates among African Americans and industrial workers, and a major research project on adolescent sexual behavior. Closely related materials may be found in public health-oriented surveys (SUBSERIES 7.2); among the manuscripts of William F. Snow and Walter Clarke (SUBSERIES 11.5); and in files on ASHA's relations with the U.S. Public Health Service (SUBSERIES 9.4). In addition, ASHA's concern with venereal disease was often submerged in a more holistic view of social health, with the result that VD-related materials appear throughout the collection.
 
8.1. Venereal Disease Statistics 1919-1968 (bulk, 1930-1941) 
Note Series 8.1 is a compilation of statistics on the prevalence of venereal disease. The figures were derived from many different sources (external to ASHA) and were broken down into various demographic, geographic, and occupational categories. During 1940, in response to skepticism about the seriousness of venereal disease as a health problem, ASHA went to great lengths to substantiate its claims. The section contains correspondence with public health officials and others in various states seeking verification or clarification of previously cited figures. The concluding section of the series contains miscellaneous records relating to the ASHA program for venereal disease control from 1927 to 1968. Several folders document specific research projects, while others contain public relations materials on the prevalence of VD. A final concentration of folders relates to various concerns of the ASHA Venereal Disease Division from 1958 to 1968. Division records are also filed in SERIES 8.4.

8.4. Research in Adolescent Behavior, 1956-1961 
Note In 1955, ASHA received grants totaling $92,000 to study rising venereal disease rates among teenagers. The association created a steering and planning committee, which was eventually renamed as the "Research Committee on Adolescent Behavior" in 1958. Chaired by John Beeston, the committee advised the Association on research objectives, methods, and analysis of study data. It awarded funds for three pilot studies that began in 1957: one directed by John Whiting in Boston; another by Martin Loeb in Los Angeles; and a third by Robert Hamblin in St. Louis. The major research project associated with the study was funded separately by the United States Public Health Service and was conducted in New York City by Celia Deschin, beginning in 1958.
Series 8.4 contains Research Committee Records , dating from 1955 to 1961. These include progress reports; proceedings of committee meetings; correspondence; financial records concerning application for and administration of grant funds; and project files for the three pilot studies, the New York study, and other proposed projects. Most of the correspondence is between ASHA staff members, T. Lefoy Richman and Edgar Cummings, and members of the research committee or project directors. There is some "external correspondence" with government officials, journalists, and others interested in the projects' findings.
The series also includes records relating to the New York City (Deschin) Research Project from 1958 to 1961. Six hundred teenagers who came to New York City public health clinics for diagnosis and treatment of possible venereal disease infection were interviewed. The study attempted to determine patterns in their socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, self-concepts, and sexual knowledge. The records include: 30-page questionnaires completed by project staff for each of the 600 teenagers interviewed (contained in Record Cartons 179-185), narrative summaries ("case histories") of selected individuals, and reports of follow-up home visits to interview the parents of approximately one hundred of the teenagers. Also included are progress reports, correspondence, and memoranda. Project files also document the selection and training of interviewers, development and testing of the questionnaire, and procedures for coding and tabulating data.

Series 9. Relations with Other Organizations, 1916-1968 
Note Cooperation between ASHA and other organizations took several forms. ASHA was most closely associated with a network of state and local affiliates, for which it organized the Conference of Social Hygiene Executives. Contacts with governmental organizations became most important during wartime, when military commitments absorbed a major portion of the association's energies. However, ongoing contacts with the United States Federal Security Administration and the United States Public Health Service were also significant. Finally, ASHA maintained ties with a wide variety of national public health and social welfare organizations.
 
9.1. Affiliated organizations, 1916-1963 
Note Series 9.1 consists of materials documenting the activities of state, local, and regional social hygiene organizations and their relationships with ASHA. Files on individual organizations are arranged alphabetically by state. Coverage is incomplete, both geographically and chronologically, and only very limited amounts of material are available for many of the organizations. The only comprehensive picture of a local program is found in the minute book (1918-1933) of the Tacoma-Pierce County (Washington) Social Hygiene Society. The series contains more substantial documentation of various conferences and workshops. Records of the Conference of Social Hygiene Executives, the vehicle by which ASHA brought together the leaders of local social hygiene organizations, include program planning materials. Conference-related materials also include transcripts of the 1948 and 1953 meetings (the 1948 conference was devoted to the Kinsey Report) and a 1960 questionnaire soliciting information about the budget and program of local affiliates.

9.2. United States Federal Security Administration, Social Protection Division, 1944-1950 
Note The Social Protection Division (SPD) of the Federal Security Administration was created in early 1941 to combat the anticipated increase in venereal disease resulting from wartime mobilization. The division worked to encourage the development and enforcement of measures for the prevention of prostitution and the rehabilitation women already working as prostitutes. SPD activities complemented the existing programs of the United States Public Health Service and led to extensive cooperation with ASHA. William F. Snow and C. Walter Clarke were members of the division's Advisory Council.
The records document relations between ASHA and the SPD from late 1944 until the latter was terminated in mid-1946. They include papers relating to: the SPD's National Advisory Committee, general relations between ASHA and SPD, ASHA's 1945 lobbying efforts to insure adequate congressional funding for SPD for an additional year, and an effort to develop a list of local social protection committees. Eliot Ness, director of SPD, is among the correspondents. A final folder documents the mission of the Interdepartmental Committee on Venereal Disease, which absorbed social protection concerns after the demise of the SPD.

9.3. United States Military, 1917-1919, 1941-1954 
Note The ASHA program for soldiers was very similar to that for civilians. It emphasized eradicating vice conditions, promoting abstinence, stopping quacks, and encouraging infected personnel to seek treatment. The records include: reports and general program statements regarding ASHA wartime activities, publicity material, correspondence, and reference material. The reference material is divided into four sections. These focus on World War I, World War II, the post-World War II period, and programs for women in the military. From 1917 to 1919, many ASHA personnel served in the Social Hygiene Division of the United States Army. ASHA's influence is evident in the hygiene literature produced by the division. Reference files dating from World War II and later tend toward statistical and regulatory monitoring of various military service commands. Materials relating to women in military service include pamphlets dating from world wars I and II.
Because ASHA personnel frequently accepted military commissions during wartime, documentation of official ASHA involvement is scanty. A major ASHA function, the monitoring of vice conditions and public health problems in communities surrounding military bases, is also reflected in the reports of ASHA field representatives (SUBSERIES 7.3) and correspondence with military personnel (included in SUBSERIES 5.2). Another aspect of ASHA's involvement with the military is documented in fund-raising records that reflect ASHA's cooperation with the United Defense Fund and the United Service Organizations (SUBSERIES 3.6). Finally, the numerous letters of commendation from military officers (SUBSERIES 5.8) provide a sense of the effectiveness of ASHA's cooperation with the military.

9.4. United States Public Health Service, 1932-1951, 1961, 1967, 1972 
Note ASHA and the United States Public Heath Service (USPHS) were natural allies who initiated a series of joint projects during the late 1930s. Early projects focused on prostitution, public health education, and the exposure of "quack" pharmacists and healers. During the New York World's Fair (1939-1940), ASHA maintained a joint exhibit with the USPHS. The records document an elaborate polling strategy that was used to evaluate the level of public understanding of social hygiene topics. The material also includes a doctoral dissertation reporting on specific project findings.
Beginning in 1942, the USPHS and ASHA launched the cooperative "ABC Projects." The projects targeted venereal disease in industry ("A"), in addition to earlier efforts focused on public education ("B") and eliciting cooperation from pharmacists ("C"). Project records include correspondence, reports, and supporting materials. The series concludes with several folders reflecting the relation of "Project A" to Industrial Venereal Disease Projects (SUBSERIES 8.2). Also noteworthy in this series is documentation of the regular sharing of personnel between the USPHS and ASHA, most prominently in the cases of Walter Clarke, William Snow, and Surgeon General Thomas Parran.

Much of the material focuses on public health and family life education, but documentation is often incomplete and only tangentially related to ASHA. The American Pharmaceutical Association, the National Health Council, and the National Social Welfare Assembly are represented most substantially. A disproportionate amount of the material relates to the year 1952.

Series 10. International Materials, 1882-1965 (bulk: 1919-1964) 
Note ASHA's international activities date back at least to 1919 and the European travels of Walter Clarke, William Snow, and Bascom Johnson. Their trips were devoted chiefly to investigating the international traffic in women and children. Johnson subsequently conducted similar studies in Asia from 1930 to 1932. Materials documenting these activities follow a lengthy alphabetical series of correspondence relating to individual countries. Most of this correspondence contains requests for social hygiene information.
In 1947, a formal International Division was formed within ASHA, under the direction of Josephine Tuller. Most of the correspondence in the series is directed to this unit. Immediately upon its inception, the division was designated as the Regional Office for the Americas of the International Union Against the Venereal Diseases and Treponematoses (IUAVDT). Much of the Latin American correspondence is directed to this division, which published the monthly periodical, Novedades . Virtually all international correspondence is accompanied by English translations, where necessary. Additional documents regarding the International Union are available in SERIES 8, Venereal Disease Projects.
A second portion of the International Materials series consists of pamphlets, brochures, reports, and newsletters from: the League of Nations and the United Nations, international associations, and organizations based in other countries. The majority of these publications relate to sexually transmitted diseases or international traffic in women and children. A portion of the material deals with public health topics in general.
