California Social Welfare Archives

The California Social Welfare Archives collects and preserves historical documents that illuminate the development of social issues and responses regarding health and welfare in California. The Archives are available to researchers, historians, students, developers of social policy, and others. They offer the opportunity to examine linkages between the past and present, to learn from history, and to inform understanding of contemporary & future problems and appropriate solutions. 

On our YouTube channel, you will find:
     • Webinars about extraordinary work done by lesser-known social workers throughout history,
     • Recordings of our live events honoring outstanding contributions to the field of social work,
     • Oral history interviews conducted since 2023,
And many more exciting projects to come!
