Excerpt from Social Workers' Guide to the Serial Publications of Representative Social Agencies The reports and serial publications of progressive institutions and organizations for social or civic welfare are source material of the greatest value to the student who may wish to know the history of any movement for human betterment. These publications not only record the work of a particular organization or body, but they often trace the entire development of an important effort from its inception to its final success or failure. The reports of the Poor Law Commissioners of Great Britain, for example, beginning with the first annual issue in 1834 and still continuing, not only trace the history of the care of the poor in Great Britain, but discuss such questions as public health, housing, town planning, and old age pensions. In like manner a file of the reports of the Elmira Reformatory from 1876 to the present day show how penologists have come step by step to the realization of the need for a more intelligent treatment of the criminal. The reports of this Reformatory covering the first twenty-five years contain also the record of achievement of its distinguished superintendent, the late Zebulon R. Brockway, in his efforts for the reformation and rehabilitation of the prisoner and the protection of society. The proceedings of local, state, national and international conferences represent another class of serial publications which not only assemble valuable data but also record development. The library of Russell Sage Foundation contains probably the most complete sets of such publications in America and new material is being added daily. The Social Workers' Guide lists approximately 4,000 institutions and organizations whose publications are on the library shelves. This volume has been issued in order to make the collection more readily available. Its index, arranged by subjects - The Feeble-minded, the Blind, Prison Reform, and so forth - makes it possible for students to find valuable reports of institutions in a particular field. Librarians also should find the list of service in selecting reports for a working collection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
