The Verne Weed Collection for Progressive Social Work was established in 1989 by Hunter College School of Social Work in cooperation with the University of Minnesota Social Welfare History Archives in order to document the history of progressive social work. The collection includes various donations of personal and professional papers of progressive social workers; published material such as newsletters, pamphlets, flyers, and clippings; and unpublished material such as correspondence, memoranda, conference and meeting records, course work and bibliographic material, and position papers received from individuals and organizations involved in progressive social work.
