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.
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.

2.2. Policy-making Bodies, 1913-2004 Note Series 2.2 includes minutes of the board of directors, executive
committee, and annual membership meeting. Folders are arranged chronologically
and contain appended supporting documents (budgets, reports, lists of
contributors and members, compendia of publications, etc.). ASHA program
activities and finances are discussed in considerable detail in the minutes and
the appended documents often afford the best summary analyses of the ASHA
program in the collection. Indexes to minutes and documents for the 1916 to
1922 period may be found in box 5, folder 4. In some cases, the minutes of the
standing committees on prostitution and venereal disease are also included. The
entire set of minutes, except for the appended documents, is available on
microfilm as SW Film 22. A limited amount of board correspondence, 1951 to 1953, is also
included in the subseries. In addition, the subseries includes records for a
number of ASHA committees: nominations, 1957 to 1961; program review, 1949
to1967; national defense activities, 1948 to 1950; and the general advisory
board, 1951 to 1953.

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.

3.3. Bureau of Social Hygiene, 1919-1934 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.

3.6. Defense-Related Fund-Raising, 1946-1962 Note The subseries documents ASHA's financial relationship with the
National War Fund (NWF), 1946; the United Service Organizations (USO), 1948 to
1950; and the United Defense Fund (UDF), 1950 to 1955. The materials reflect
fund-raising cooperation, budgets for ASHA services to the military, and
descriptions of ASHA national defense projects. Also included are several
folders, arranged chronologically, reflecting ASHA involvement with United
Community Defense Services (UCDS), 1951 to 1952. UCDS provided services for
civilians in defense-impacted areas. ASHA applied to these groups directly for
funding, as well as cooperating in jointly-provided services.

conditions for the period 1950 to 1953 and much less comprehensive coverage for
earlier and later periods. It consists of general, personnel-related records as
well as files on individual office staff members and field representatives.

4.2. Staff Correspondence, 1938-1963 (bulk, 1948-1953) 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

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.

5.2. 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.

5.4. Radio, Television, and Motion Pictures,
1927-1962 (bulk, 1935-1950) 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.

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.

6.5. Education Division, General, 1950-1971 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." Located in Legal Reference Files (legal box 1, folder 12 - legal

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.

representatives and African American leaders, particularly executives of

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.

1921-1967 (bulk 1946-1954) Note Series 9.5 is an alphabetical arrangement of records relating to
national organizations. 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.
