Biography/History
Founded in 1919, Curative was originally housed in a one-room cottage on the grounds
of Columbia Hospital. Students enrolled in the occupational therapy course at the
nearby Milwaukee-Downer College gained practical experience assisting at the
Curative Workshop, as it was originally known. The workshop grew over the years,
expanding its services and changing locations several times. It provided services
for injured defense workers in 1941 and a speech clinic for injured WWII veterans in
1945.
Today Curative provides quality services to children, adults, and seniors at
community-based sites in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties. Its services include adult
day, case management, child and youth, industrial, residential, senior, and
vocational programs.
Scope and Content Note
In addition to meeting minutes and annual reports, the records of the Curative Care
Network largely consist of audio-visual materials, including scrapbooks,
photographs, slides, and negatives, as well as films and videos.
The photographs, arranged roughly chronologically, date from Curative's founding in
1919 to the 2000s. Photographs document adult, pediatric, home care, vocational, and
speech therapy, and also include images of staff, events, and buildings.
The slides also date from Curative's beginnings until the mid-1990s, and document
buildings, therapy, staff, and events. Also included are some slides from the Red
Cross Institute for Crippled and Disabled Men, which document occupational equipment
use and predate the establishment of Curative.
Several folders of negatives in the collection largely document events and
activities, as well as some therapy techniques.
The scrapbooks, which contain materials dating from 1921 to 2003, document the
history of Curative and its fund drives, particularly its 1939 building campaign.
Older scrapbooks largely consist of newspaper clippings, while more recent ones also
contain photographs, programs, brochures, correspondence, articles, newsletters,
awards, licenses, and the like.
The collection also contains the files of Mrs. A.C. Eschweiler, Jr., which largely
relate to the 1939 building fund drive, and include correspondence, brochures, news
clippings, historic information about Curative, and financial information.
Finally, the collection includes educational and training films and videos dating
from 1933 to 1982, showing physical, occupational, and workshop therapy for adults
and children. Several videos document the history of Curative and include
interviews, while others contain public service announcements and TV
commercials.
