National Association of Social Workers and Predecessor Organizations records 1917-1970

http://special.lib.umn.edu/findaid/xml/sw1000.xml

The National Association of Social Workers (NASW), the membership organization for professional social workers in the United States, was established in October, 1955. Included in the collection are the records of seven predecessor organizations – American Association of Social Workers (AASW), American Association of Medical Social Workers (AAMSW), National Association of School Social Workers (NASSW), American Association of Psychiatric Social Workers (AAPSW), American Association of Group Workers UAW Association for the Study of Community Organization (ASCO), and Social Work Research Group (SWRG) – that merged to form the NASW. The records document the development from vocational placement bureaus into professional organizations concerned with raising professional standards and improving education offerings and working conditions. Secondarily they reflect the impact of war and of depression-era social and economic programs on social workers and on the people they served.
