The University of Michigan Digital Library Production Service, in coooperation with the University of Minnesota, has made available the proceedings of the National Conference on Social Welfare. These conference proceedings are a wonderful source for understanding the evolution of the social work profession and for studying the history of social issues of interest to social work researchers.
The Agency Collection has proven an invaluable resource to social work/social welfare historians and to social scientists in general. It contains material from domestic and foreign voluntary and public social service agencies, institutions, and organizations. This collection (circa 1934-1970) spans a broad range of subjects including social work, social service, families and children, day care, aging, health and mental health, alcoholism and drug addiction, and social and physical rehabilitation. The majority of the material was produced in the form of general and annual reports, conference and workshop proceedings, position papers and training and case documents.
The Journal provides a forum for the exchange of innovative ideas that integrate social work practice, education, research, and theory from the perspective of social work students.
