Abstract:

Records of a private community agency organized to promote public health, focusing particularly though not exclusively on school children, through preventive medicine and education programs. Some of the agency's activities included dental surveys; skin-testing and x-raying for tuberculosis; vaccination and immunization clinics; and well-baby clinics. The collection consists of administrative records, correspondence, and reports, including the group's constitution; minutes of Board of Directors meetings and annual public meetings; notes for Board of Directors meetings; general correspondence as well as correspondence with the State Board of Health and the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Association, particularly concerning the annual Christmas Seals campaign; reports from immunization clinics and from the public health nurses, and reports to the Algoma City Council. The nurses' reports are bound in a volume that also contains minor financial records, such as cash disbursements.
