(1872-1972). 47 boxes.<BR>Collection Call Number: SC19816
<DIR>Annual reports, minutes of the Board of Managers and various committees,
investigation reports and photographs of the SCAA. Also included are several
publications, many of them rare and possibly unique. A large series of
constitutions, annual reports, minutes and reports of the County Public
Welfare Committees of the SCAA offers a local view of the welfare problem in
the state in the mid-20th century. Subject files about topics from abortion to
welfare provide broad coverage of the issues of concern to SCAA. The State
Community Aid Association was founded in 1872 by Louisa Lee Schuyler and
others to further public health and social reform. The Association founded the
first training school for nurses in the United States at Bellevue Hospital,
was an early provider of adoption and foster care services, and was
instrumental in establishing county tuberculosis hospitals. <I>Finding aid
