Henry Street Settlement records, 1892-1982.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/63279709

This collection, although dating from 1892, best documents the years Miss Hall served as headworker, 1933-67. To a more limited extent, the collection contains material dating from Miss Wald's tenure and that of Miss Hall's successor, Bertram Beck. The collection consists of minutes, correspondence, memoranda, reports, drawings, publications, financial records, clippings, scripts, scores, photographs, maps, and newsletters. These describe the settlement's internal administration as well as its work in the arts, juvenile delinquency, mental health, child care, and many other fields. Additionally, the collection documents Henry Street's relationship with other organizations such as the Lower Eastside Neighborhoods Association and Mobilization for Youth as well as a range of local, state, and federal organizations and persons.
