Material consists of academic and professional writing, case files of child abuse studies, recorded interviews, instructional videos, annotated publications, and various organizational records of the Parental Stress Center, Bright Beginnings, and Safe and Sound, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, chapter of the National Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse.
