Abstract:

Records, 1915-1980, of Neighborhood House, Madison, Wisconsin's only settlement house, formed in 1916 to improve conditions among the Italian community through education and community organization. Included are correspondence, meeting minutes, reports, publications, and photographs documenting the house and its programs. Also included are various studies, survey data, and analysis of the neighborhood and its residents. A small amount of material relates to the Triangle Urban Renewal Project, and its impact on the area. Scrapbooks and further minutes and record books relate to numerous clubs which operated through the house. Some personal papers relating to Mary Lee Griggs, director of Parent Education and the Play School, and Gay Braxton, Head Resident, are also included. The films are 16 mm footage of a Neighborhood House outing and an educational film for children.
