Abstract:

Papers collected by Sarah Campbell Webb, a Madison, Wis., social worker employed by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Social Services, which reflect her participation in associations concerned with family life and adult education. As the community services consultant for southeastern Wisconsin, she coordinated numerous social service groups. In this capacity she collected program announcements, newsletters, clippings, mailing lists, and minutes; and generated her own correspondence and voluminous notes. She also compiled a “resources file” dealing with family problems and community action including bibliographies, catalogs, articles, papers, speeches, and lists of resource persons. The collection documents a variety of community activity and describes contemporary concerns regarding sex education in the schools, divorce, drug abuse, juvenile delinquency, and other social issues. Particularly well documented are the Dane County Council on Family Living, the Wisconsin Family Life Association, and the Adult Education Association of Wisconsin.
