Papers of Theresa Jacobson Morse, 1935-1951

Title: Papers of Theresa Jacobson Morse

The collection consists exclusively of Morse's work-related papers. Materials from her work with the National War Labor Board consist primarily of correspondence, reports, and her notes. She seems to have focused particularly on the textile industry in Massachusetts. There are syllabi, handouts, and notes from courses on labor that she took at Harvard (1946-1947). Morse's work with the League of Women Voters evidently also focused on labor and economic issues; there are printed materials, correspondence, memos, and meeting minutes about state taxes and public expenditures in Massachusetts and on such issues as strikes and collective bargaining. Morse's work with United Community Services is documented in memoranda, meeting minutes, and reports. Of particular note are the reports of the Recreation, Informal Education and Group Work Division on the facilities of many of the institutions in greater Boston that were affiliated with UCS. There are also correspondence, memos, and reports from the Massachusetts Committee of the Midcentury White House Conference on Children and Youth. Her work with Jewish organizations is not documented in the collection.
