Survey Associates records, 1891-1952 (bulk 1920-1952).

The administrative, financial, and editorial records of the publishers of the several Survey magazines make up the bulk of the collection. The collection contains correspondence with nearly every major figure in American welfare work and related fields, much of it in the context of developing articles for publication. Besides providing information on operating and publishing the journals, the collection contains substantial documentation from participants and first-hand observers on such subjects as civil liberties, the Great Depression, health, housing, industrial and labor relations, international affairs, pacifism, race relations, recreation, social insurance, social work, unemployment, and the world wars. Included are records related to the Foreign Policy Association, reflecting Survey editor Paul Kellogg's involvement in that group.
