Access and Use
Acquisition Information:

The records are a gift of the Henry Street Settlement's board of directors. The records documenting the years when Helen Hall was Henry Street executive director were shipped to the archives in 1972. Additions to the collection arrived in 1974, 1978, 1994, 2003, and 2004. Also, settlement-related records that were contained in Helen Hall's personal papers were added to the Henry Street Settlement records during processing.

Access Restrictions:

Open for use in Social Welfare History Archives reading room.

Copyright:

The Henry Street records are open to research use with no restrictions.

Processing Information:

The inventory was prepared by Susan D. Steinwall in 1983 and revised by Linnea M. Anderson in 2004. The Henry Street Settlement records were processed in 1982 and 1983 with financial assistance from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The records that were processed during the 1980s are housed in boxes 1 through 143. Additional records that were received in 1994 and 2003-2004 have been minimally processed. These materials are housed in boxes 144 through 153.

The bulk of the collection, that which arrived in 1972, consisted of one large alphabetical run of files. This run was broken into Series 1 through Series 5. In nearly all cases, the internal integrity of the folders was not disturbed. Most of the more recently acquired records form series 6, 7 and 8. A small amount of the recent material consists of additions to Series 1 through Series 4. These records have been listed under the appropriate series in the finding aid.

History

"The sight of a woman in a rear tenement, under unspeakably distressing conditions, was the starting point of the Settlement," Lillian D. Wald related during the Henry Street Settlement's 20th anniversary celebration in 1914. "Miss Mary Brewster and I, both graduates of the New York Hospital Training School," Wald continued, "established ourselves on the top floor of a tenement house near by. We charged ourselves with creating a visiting nursing service, on the terms most considerate of the dignity and independence of the patients ... and also with contributing our citizenship in an industrial neighborhood."

Known as the Nurses' Settlement when it was established in New York City's Lower East Side in July 1893, the Henry Street Settlement earned national standing in the settlement movement. It served an immigrant neighborhood composed initially of Russian Jews, intermixed with Irish and Italians. As these groups were able to move to other areas in the years after World War II, they were replaced by African American, Puerto Rican, and Chinese residents.

The work of Lillian D. Wald and Mary Brewster from their office on the top floor of a tenement at 27 Jefferson Street soon attracted the attention of banker Jacob Schiff. In 1895, he purchased a house at 265 Henry Street and donated it to the settlement. Four more buildings on Henry Street had been added to the settlement by April 1903, when the Henry Street Settlement was incorporated. Among the incorporators and first directors were Lillian D. Wald and Lavinia L. Dock.

By 1913, the settlement offered a variety of programs in addition to a visiting nursing service that extended beyond the Lower East Side. The settlement was operating two branch centers--one on East 79th Street and a second, the Stillman House for Colored People, at 205 W. 60th Street. The settlement also ran two summer camps, Camp Henry for boys and Echo Hill Farm for girls, and programs for boys and girls in the city were already well established. In addition, Rita Wallach Morganthau and Alice and Irene Lewisohn had begun offering dance and drama classes, work that led to the establishment of the settlement's well-known Neighborhood Playhouse at 466 Grand Street in 1915.

The work of the visiting nurses and the social settlement were closely allied at first. By the time Helen Hall was named to succeed Lillian D. Wald as headworker in 1933, the two had grown into virtually separate enterprises. Hall, a social worker rather than a nurse by training, separated the nursing service from the settlement administratively in 1937. The Henry Street Settlement and the Visiting Nurse Service of New York were incorporated as separate legal entities in 1944. (During the reorganization, the settlement was known briefly as the Lillian Wald Settlement.) Helen Hall, the former headworker at Philadelphia's University Settlement and a leader in the national settlement movement, directed Henry Street until she retired in 1967 at age 75. Her husband, Paul Kellogg, editor of Survey magazine, also made his home at the settlement.

During Helen Hall's tenure as headworker, the settlement continued to grow in size and stature. A credit union was established in 1937 and a mental health clinic was organized in 1946. In 1948, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert H. Lehman dedicated a new settlement building, "Pete's House," named in memory of their son who had died in World War II. As new public housing projects were established, the settlement expanded its consumer education efforts. Home planning workshops offered housing residents the space and tools to mend furniture, clothes, and shoes. The Lower Eastside Neighborhoods Association (LENA) was organized at Henry Street in 1955 and Mobilization for Youth was created there in 1957. A new building, the Charles and Stella Guttman Building, opened its doors in 1963.

During this time, Helen Hall and the settlement's Community Studies Department studied, analyzed, and reported on the Lower East Side's changing social conditions. The results of many of her probes were published in the Survey . When a bibliography entitled The Helen Hall Settlement Papers was compiled in 1959, 65 studies made between 1928 and 1958 were listed.

Bertram Beck, the former director of Mobilization for Youth and associate director of the National Association of Social Workers, succeeded Helen Hall in 1967. During his ten-year stay, the settlement brought its arts programs under one roof in the new Arts for Living Center. Like most social service organizations at the time, Henry Street also grew to rely on increased government funding. (In 1975, for example, public funds accounted for two-thirds of the settlement's $4.5 million budget.) New services were organized, including a day care center and jobs programs as well as programs and temporary shelters for homeless families.

In 1970, the settlement began referring to itself as the Henry Street Urban Life Center, but retained Henry Street Settlement as its legal name. According to the board minutes of June 22, 1970, the name change was "seen as an aid in fund raising and in securing public understanding .... The word 'settlement' was derived from the fact that the settlement pioneers moved into the poor community and settled there. The term, 'urban life center,' is designed to quickly convey the notion of interaction between the staff and people who live in the neighborhood..."

In 1977, Bertram Beck was succeeded by Frank Seever, who had been director of Chicago Commons. Niathan Allen served as the settlement's fifth executive director from 1981 to 1985, when Daniel Kronenfeld was appointed. During the 1980's and 1990's the settlement expanded its arts, homeless, senior citizen, youth, employment, and mental health programs and continued to add new projects, including education and assistance programs for persons affected by HIV/AIDS. In 2002, Daniel Kronenfeld was succeeded by Verona Middleton-Jeter.

Additional information about the history of specific projects and activities is included in the series descriptions.


Collection Scope and Content Note

The Henry Street Settlement records document the settlement's work as well as its concerns for social issues in New York City and nationally. While material in the collection dates from 1892 to 2003, the vast bulk of the records documents the Helen Hall years, 1933 to 1967.

The records include: agendas, minutes, correspondence, memoranda, newspaper clippings, financial records and budgets, brochures and newsletters, architectural drawings, maps, photographs, pamphlets, scores, scripts, and scrapbooks. These records describe Henry Street Settlement's services and programs, including those related to: the arts, child care, camping and youth activities, health care, mental health, senior citizen activities, consumer education, juvenile delinquency, employment programs, adult education, and homelessness. The records also detail the settlement's internal administration. In addition, extensive correspondence files show the settlement's interactions with other persons and organizations, including various city, state, and federal government officials and agencies.

Series 1, Administration, documents the internal workings of the settlement as well as its history, organization, mission, policies, and clientele. The series also includes records from thesettlement's Community Studies Department. The correspondence, questionnaires, reports and related records document a range of social issues and reflect contemporary social work methodology and ideology. Series 2, Services and Programs, consists of the records of the settlement's many permanent programs, such as the arts department and camps; special short-term projects, such as the Pre-Delinquent Gang Project; regular programs that are no longer in operation; and proposals for programs that were never funded.

The Related Organizations series (Series 3) includes records of the organizations which were closely tied with Henry Street administratively or grew out of Henry Street programs. The Organizations, Subjects, and Correspondence series (Series 4) is an alphabetical arrangement of files documenting the people, organizations, and subject areas with which Henry Street was concerned. Series 5 contains scrapbooks that document primarily the Henry Street Music School and the Henry Street Visiting Nurse Service. The series also contains some information regarding the settlement in general. Series 6, Memorabilia and Ephemera, consists of individual items or groups of items donated to the Henry Street Settlement by supporters, former staff, and alumni. The materials document people, events, and programs at the settlement. Series 7 contains grant proposals, applications and reports from the Henry Street Settlement Development Office. These are a rich source of information on a wide range of settlement programs, in particular arts, youth activities, and homeless services. The Henry Street Oral History project records (Series 8) consist of tapes, transcripts or partial summaries, interviewers' reports and conclusions, and release forms. The interviews of current and former settlement staff, program participants, neighborhood residents, and settlement benefactors document people and programs at Henry Street as well as life on New York City's Lower East Side.

Principal correspondents include Lillian D. Wald, Helen Hall, and Bertram M. Beck, all of whom served as the settlement's headworker or executive director. Other settlement employees who are documented in the records include Ralph and Ruth Tefferteller, Susan Jenkins Brown, Karl Hesley, Alwin Nikolais, Atkins Preston, and Leona Gold. The Henry Street Board of Directors included a variety of influential persons including: Herbert H. Lehman, Nicholas Kelley, Felix M. Warburg, James Felt, Mary Dublin Keyserling, A. Fairfield (Allston Fairfield) Dana, and Winslow Carlton. The researcher can also find information regarding other settlement figures, such as Helen M. Harris, Lillian W. (Lillian Wester) Robbins, and Mildred Gutwillig. Paul Underwood Kellogg, Robert Wagner, and Leonard Farbstein also appear.

Series 1.4 Board of Directors  
Note Series 1.4 consists of six sections: minutes and agendas, correspondence, reports, committees, board members, and board information files. The board minutes and agendas are nearly complete for the period between 1933 and 1973. A few copies of minutes dated from 1931 and from 1974 to 1981 are included as well. The board correspondence consists of letters between the settlement's headworkers and various board members in addition to memoranda directed to the board at large. Of interest may be a 1981 report, "The Trends of the 1980s: Where Are They Leading Us?" in which the effects of President Ronald Reagan's administration on the settlement movement are discussed.
The subseries contains only a few reports to the board of directors. These are followed by the records of the board's executive and nominating committees. (Other board committees' records are filed with the program or service with which the committee was concerned. The Budget Committee, for example, is filed with the financial records.)
Biographical material, in addition to correspondence between board members and settlement staff, is filed in the Board Members section. While this alphabetically arranged file is not complete, it does contain material regarding many prominent board members including David Baird, Winslow Carlton, A. Fairfield (Allston Fairfield) Dana, Mary Dublin Keyserling, and Herbert H. Lehman.
The final section of this subseries, the Board Information Files, includes announcements, clippings, memoranda, and other material that Henry Street sent to its board members and to other "friends of Henry Street." Bertram M. Beck instituted the mailings in 1968. The researcher may be able to find some of the board information files' material duplicated elsewhere in the collection. The Henry Street Settlement newsletters that were included in the board files have been filed in the archives' pamphlet collection.

Series 1.6 Community Studies and Other Writings  
Note Series 1.6 includes correspondence, drafts, and resource material regarding the various research projects with which Henry Street was involved. From 1933 to at least 1953, Henry Street had a community studies department that studied a variety of social issues in the Lower East Side neighborhood.
"We started our Community Studies Department," Helen Hall wrote in Unfinished Business , "partly to equip us for social action by a systematic gathering of facts close-up so that we could speak with some authority when urging change." Among the studies documented in this subseries are an investigation of the young people's clubs known as "cellar clubs" ("Rooms of Their Own") and a study of the health needs and problems of Henry Street's neighbors ("When Sickness Strikes a Family").
In addition to community studies, the subseries also includes material regarding two monographs: Jeremy Larner and Ralph Tefferteller, Addict in the Street , 1965 (based on Tefferteller's taped conversations with neighborhood boys between 1957 and 1964); and David Capolitz, The Poor Pay More , 1963. The latter study of the poor's experiences with installment buying, was funded by the Lavanburg Foundation. Capolitz was research director of the Bureau of Applied Social Research at Columbia University. The Henry Street Settlement, Union Settlement, and the James Weldon Johnson Community Center proposed the study and arranged meetings between neighborhood residents and research staff.
Researchers interested in Henry Street's community studies efforts should also consult the Helen Hall papers (SW034) for a complete set of the studies that were compiled in a 1959 bibliography entitled, The Helen Hall Settlement Papers . The Helen Hall papers also contain working papers for other studies, including "Case Studies of Unemployment," 1931; "What Every British Woman Knows," 1948; and "Making Ends Meet on Less Than $2,000 a Year," 1951.

Series 1.8 Personnel Records  
Note Series 1.8 consists of material from persons who applied for positions at Henry Street, statements regarding the settlement's personnel practices and policies, minutes of staff meetings, salary schedules, and job descriptions. Material regarding the 1965 strike against the settlement by its employees is scarce. The one folder regarding the strike was created by the archives. The second part of the subseries is an alphabetically arranged run of staff member files. Included in these files are biographical information, speeches and writings by staff members, and correspondence between staff members and the settlement's administrators. Material regarding Lillian D. Wald and Bertram M. Beck is filed in the series. Researchers interested in Helen Hall should also consult the Helen Hall papers (SW034). There is some overlap between the specific staff member files and the general staff files.

Series 2. Services and Programs, 1903-2003 (11.5 linear feet (Boxes 40-68, 144-147, and 154-157))  
Note The Services and Programs series consists of the records of Henry Street's on-going services, one-time programs, and various program proposals that were never funded. The series is arranged alphabetically according to the name by which the program was widely known or by a descriptive subject term. Substantial documentation exists for: arts programs (Neighborhood Playhouse, the Henry Street Music School, and arts classes); camps and camping programs; child care programs; the Henry Street Credit Union; Good Companions (senior citizens' group); the Home Planning Workshops; the mental health clinic; and the Pre-Delinquent Gang Project. These programs are described below. Other projects, such as drug abuse prevention projects and the Urban Family Center, are filed alphabetically between the major program areas. New acquisitions of Services and Programs records document a number of long-standing programs, such as the Abrons Arts Center, and also reflect more recently established projects from the 1960s to 2003. These are also included in the file list.
The Arts have a long history at Henry Street. In 1904 Rita Wallach Morganthau and Alice and Irene Lewisohn began giving dance and drama classes at the settlement. Their work led to the founding of the Neighborhood Playhouse at 477 Grand Street in 1915. During the 1930s and 1940s, the playhouse relied on amateur actors from the neighborhood and staged "living newspapers," plays portraying current social problems. In 1948, Alwin Nikolais joined the Playhouse staff, and his dance company soon attracted national and international attention. Nikolais served as co-director of the Playhouse with Betty Young. Murray Louis, another prominent dancer, led the dance department. In the 1970s, the New Federal Theater made its home at the Henry Street Playhouse.
Music has also been an important component of Henry Street's programs. The settlement had offered music lessons for many years before the Henry Street Music School was formally organized in 1927 in a tenement on Pitt Street. Prominent figures in the music school's history include directors Hedi Katz, 1927 to1935; Grace Spofford, 1935 to1954; and Robert Egan, 1954 to 1969. For further information regarding the Music School, see the Henry Street Music School records (SW116).
The Arts Programs subseries includes: memoranda, correspondence, minutes of the Arts for Living Committee, annual reports, scripts, by-laws, newspaper clippings, scores, and playbills. The Abrons Art Center and other settlement facilities serve as a venue for the performing arts and arts education. Exhibitions, performances, and education programs form an important component of the settlement's community services. For information regarding construction of the Arts for Living Center, see the Buildings, Grounds, and Other Properties subseries in the Administration series. Additional information regarding arts programs is located in Series 7, Development Office Grant Files.
Camping and other "fresh air" programs for children, mothers, and families also have a long history at Henry Street. The camps were organized to take Lower East Side children off the streets during the summer. One the Henry Street's first "fresh air" programs, a "Summer Home for Babies," was supported for many years by Herbert H. Lehman. According to a 1914 report, the summer program was conducted in the Montclair, New Jersey, home of Mr. and Mrs. John MacArthur. Alice Lewisohn purchased Echo Hill Farm, Henry Street's camp for girls in Yorktown Heights, New York, and gave it to the settlement in 1911. The boy's camp, Camp Henry on Secor Lake in Putnam County, New York, appears to have been added during the 1920s.
The Camps and Camping Programs subseries is primarily concerned with Echo Hill Farm activities. It includes material regarding the settlement's acquisition of the property and subsequent building projects in addition to annual reports, correspondence, financial records, personnel records, registration records, and photographs. While the camp material dates from 1906 to 1968, the most complete sections date from 1945 to 1946. Records regarding Camp Henry are more limited, although correspondence, annual reports, and financial records exist from 1928 to 1973. Much of the correspondence for both camps is concerned with maintenance and construction.
The Child Care Programs subseries includes material from Henry Street's nursery school program, which for a time was conducted in the LaGuardia Community Center. The Day Care Center, which supplanted the nursery school in the 1970s, is also documented. (For information regarding construction of the Day Care Center, please consult the Buildings, Grounds, and Other Properties subseries in the Administration series.) The Child Care subseries includes primarily correspondence, memoranda, proposals, reports, and flyers.
The Henry Street Credit Union was organized in 1937 as part of the settlement's consumer education and consumer rights work. Its first members included boys and girls from the neighborhood. In addition to such general material as correspondence, memoranda, and newspaper clippings, the Credit Union subseries also includes by-laws and financial statements.
The Good Companions is Henry Street's senior citizens' group, which was organized in 1953. The Companions meet in a basement room adjoining the settlement's Home Planning Workshops in the Vladeck Houses, a Lower East Side public housing project. The subseries includes general correspondence and memoranda as well as material regarding the group's health project and Social Security study.
The Home Planning Workshops in Vladeck Houses were organized in 1940 to give public housing residents the space and tools to repair furniture and mend clothing and shoes. The workshops also planned and built a model kitchen, furnished a model apartment, and organized a "swap shop." The subseries consists of reports, histories, correspondence, memoranda, and photographs.
The Mental Hygiene Clinic was created in 1946 with the hiring of a full-tine psychiatric social worker to provide counseling services. Psychiatric services had been available to the Nursery School students since 1941, but the need quickly outgrew the capacity of those services. The clinic's name was changed to the Community Consultation Center in 1967. As the clinic's caseload grew, the budget was increased through federal and state grants and special projects directed toward troubled and delinquent children were initiated. For example, the subseries includes documentation regarding two projects aimed at school-age children who had been suspended from school. The clinic was also interested in standards for training para-professionals to work in the mental health field.
The Mental Hygiene Clinic subseries contains annual reports, advisory committee meeting minutes, correspondence, casework reports, budgets, publications, material on personnel and special projects, photographs, and newspaper clippings dating from 1946 to 1975. There is considerable correspondence with the New York City Department of Mental Hygiene and its branch offices about yearly contract renewals and funding. Personnel material includes resumes and correspondence as well as papers written by staff members. General statements about the Mental Hygiene Clinic provide historical perspectives and document the clinic's objectives. Principle correspondents include Henry Street Settlement directors Helen Hall and Bertram Beck, clinic directors Annelise Thieman, 1950 to1960; Rachel Levine, 1961 to1968; and Bernard Danzig, 1968; and settlement financial officer Leona Gold.
The Pre-Delinquent Gang Project began in the mid-1950s as an effort to combat juvenile delinquency by working closely with young boys, ages 7 to10, and their parents. The gang project, headed by Ruth Tefferteller, was supported by the New York Fund for Children. In 1961 it had attracted the attention of the Vincent Astor Foundation, whose financial support helped expand the program to eight other settlements. The resulting "Astor Project" was administered by the United Neighborhood Houses of New York. The Pre-Delinquent Gang Project papers contain few memoranda and other internal exchanges. Instead, reports and speeches make up the bulk of the subseries. Correspondence and memoranda regarding the United Neighborhood Houses' project are also filed here, but for more information, please consult the United Neighborhood Houses of New York Records (SW005 ).

Series 3. Related Organizations, 1893-1979 (7 linear feet (Boxes 69-86))  Box , Folder
Note The Related Organizations series consists of the records of those organizations that had close ties to Henry Street. These organizations were either once part of the settlement, for example, the Visiting Nurse Service; closely linked administratively, such as Hamilton House; were created by Henry Street staff or board members, as was the case with the Lower Eastside Neighborhoods Association; or took an active interest in Henry Street affairs, as did the Henry Old Timers alumni group.
The series is arranged alphabetically by the organization's name. It includes correspondence, memoranda, publications, newsletters, brochures, reports, newspaper clippings, and photographs. The records provide substantial documentation on the Henry Old Timers, Hamilton-Madison House, LaGuardia Community Center, the Lower Eastside Neighborhoods Association, and Mobilization for Youth. Other organizations, such as the Visiting Nurse Service, are represented to a more limited extent.
Of particular interest to researchers may be the records of Hamilton-Madison House, the Lower Eastside Neighborhoods Association, and Mobilization for Youth.
Hamilton House, organized in 1902 in a Lower East Side Italian community, began suffering financial difficulties during the mid-teens. In 1918, Moreau Delano and Winthrop Dwight approached Lillian D. Wald with an offer to finance Hamilton House operations if she served on the Hamilton House board and supervised the settlement's activities. She consented and the arrangement lasted until 1931, when Delano and Dwight withdrew their financial support. From 1931 to 1944, Henry Street contributed annually to Hamilton House, carried its deficit, and did the settlement's books. In 1944, however, Henry Street terminated that relationship, although Helen Hall continued to serve on the Hamilton House board of directors. In 1954, Hamilton House and Madison House merged to form Hamilton-Madison House. For further information, see the Hamilton-Madison House records (SW012).
The Hamilton House records include board minutes, reports, financial statements, the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, correspondence, and memoranda.
The Lower Eastside Neighborhoods Association (LENA) "grew directly out of a meeting at Henry Street in September 1954," Helen Hall wrote in Unfinished Business . "The immediate precipitating event was an attack on a twelve-year-old Puerto Rican girl who had been knocked down and kicked in the stomach as she came out of school at noon." LENA sought to combat juvenile crime by recruiting leaders from every ethnic group and community organization living or working in the Lower East Side. LENA, according to Helen Hall's autobiography, was a group of interested individuals, not a coordinating council of agencies. During the 1960s, LENA's interests shifted from juvenile crime to other factors that affected the quality of life, including education and housing. In the health field, for example, LENA lobbied for improved services at Gouverneur Hospital.
Much of the material included with these records is concerned with LENA's early years, although some later material is also included. In addition to minutes of the board and committee meetings, the LENA records include correspondence, memoranda, newspaper clippings, by-laws, financial records, reports, and playbills.
(For further information, please consult the Lower Eastside Neighborhoods Association records, SW061.)
The idea that became Mobilization for Youth surfaced in May 1957 following a Henry Street board meeting. While LENA tried to combat juvenile delinquency through cooperation among the community's leaders, Mobilization for Youth had a new plan: saturate impoverished areas with a range of services. Three years later, Mobilization for Youth moved from its first offices in the Henry Street Settlement armed with a $450,000 grant from the National Institute for Mental Health. In May, 1962, Mobilization's plan went into action with a $12.6 million package of federal, city, and private funds.
The Mobilization for Youth records include correspondence, memoranda, minutes of the board of directors and other committees, by-laws, newspaper clippings, financial records, reports, photographs, and publications. Materials regarding the Henry Street-Mobilization for Youth liaison committee and material that predates the organization of the Mobilization program are also included.

Series 4. Organizations, Subjects, and Correspondence, 1916-1976 (20 linear feet (Boxes 86-133))  
Note This series is an alphabetically arranged assemblage of the people, organizations, and subjects reflecting Henry Street's Settlement's "external" relationships. Organizations included here did not have the close ties to Henry Street that characterized those in the Related Organizations series. In general, the series consists of correspondence, memoranda, minutes, announcements, reports, and brochures, mostly dated between 1933 and 1967.
Series 4 includes correspondence with such well-known persons as: Jane Addams, Richard A.Cloward, Helen M. Harris, Stanley M. (Stanley Myer) Isaacs, Robert Wagner, Paul Underwood Kellogg, and government officials. It also contains material on other social service organizations including: other settlements, the National Federation of Settlements, the United Neighborhood Houses of New York, the Community Council of Greater New York, the League of Mothers' Clubs, and the Community Service Society. Certain city, state, and federal offices as well as consumer issues, housing, juvenile delinquency, education and other social issues are also well documented.
Arrangement of the series: The bulk of the series consists of alphabetically arranged files on organizations, subjects, and persons for which substantial documentation exists. The series also contains a single, general correspondence file for each letter of the alphabet. These files contain materials from infrequent correspondents. There may be some overlap between the general files and the topical files. Additionally, most of the "T" section of the filing system is missing.
Explanation of filing system for this series: If an organization had changed names, all the records were filed under the most current name possible. For example, the Welfare Council of New York City and the Welfare and Health Council of New York City were filed with the Community Council of Greater New York. Records regarding all city, state, and federal offices were filed according to the unit of government, followed by the office name. (For example, "New York City--Housing Authority". )

Note Most of the Henry Street Settlement scrapbooks document the Henry Street Music School or the Henry Street Visiting Nurse Service.

These materials chronicle concerts, recitals, and broadcasts by the school's students, faculty, and guest performers. The series also includes a scrapbook of fliers, form letters, calendars, schedules, and blank student forms as well as procedures documenting auditions, classes, and policies from 1949 to 1954.
Records documenting the Visiting Nurse Service consist primarily of newspaper clippings dating from 1929 to 1939. The series also includes a scrapbook documenting the 1964 season of the Lower East Side Neighborhoods Association's (LENA) "Evenings by the River" concert series. The scrapbook contains newspaper clippings, photographs, programs, press releases, and correspondence. Other topics include: summer camps, the settlement's "cellar clubs," and settlement workers and benefactors.

Other topics described in the grant records include: senior services, at risk families, programs for abused women, community mental health, and parent resources as well as funding for capital improvements and administrative needs at the settlement. Several post-9/11 response and recovery services projects are also documented. A representative list of programs and topics documented in the grant records follows.
