Abstract:

General records of the bureau and its predecessor, the Bureau of Child and Maternal Health, relating to its broad public health responsibilities for maternal and child health, mental health, mental retardation, and school health. Some files document the tenure of Amy Louise Hunter as head of the Bureau of Maternal and Child Health, and they include documentation on numerous statistical studies she initiated or participated in concerning infant blindness, premature birth, maternal and neonatal mortality, midwives, migrant workers, and other topics. There is also data on midwives, the distribution of incubators, and Wisconsin generally.
