http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/166428455

The collection contains eight annual reports from the Florence Crittenton Home of Seattle, spanning 1956-1968, as well as two of the Home's handbooks. It also includes two academic papers written by Robinson: a paper on the history of the Florence Crittenton homes in general and the Seattle home in particular, and a master's thesis on Dr. Kate Waller Barrett, a major force in the Crittenton program who was president of the Florence Crittenton Mission from 1909 to 1925. A 1988 article from the Northern Virginia Heritage Magazine discusses Barrett and Ivakota, the Florence Crittenton Home established by Barrett in Virginia. The collection also includes a 1960 annual report for the Ruth School for Girls, the Burien school for wards of the Juvenile Court.
