[UMA-SR-000001772] Citizens Welfare Service case files

Description

IdentifierUMA-SR-000001772Extent177 boxesLinear Meterage30.46Scope and ContentCase records, chronologically ordered and consecutively numbered (with the agency's numbering system retained for the purposes of this list), from file number 31,100 9 September 1921 to file number 79,001, 6 September 1966.
Numbers and dates of the first and last files contained in each box are noted on the outside of the box, also the file numbers of those that are missing. A large loose-leaf index gives names and statistical particulars of clients who applied to the agency between July 1948 and July 1960.
A surprisingly small number of files are missing from the 47,000 case records covering the years 1921 to 1966 and they offer a rare perspective on the problems of a section of the community during these 45 years. The case records also illustrate the changes in social work practice over the period.ArrangementChronologicalAccess StatusAccess restrictions applyRequest Access to RecordsRequest records from this Series
