Abstract:
Records of the National Public Relations Council of Health and Welfare Services, an organization founded in 1921 that provided consultation, publications, continuing education, and other services in order to better apply public relations techniques to social work issues. In 1977 the NPRC became part of the Public Relations Society of America. Included are detailed minutes, 1931-1976, which include not only proceedings of board of directors and committee meetings, but also extensive information on finances and program planning functions; additional financial records; and records of conferences (1922-1931) and institutes (1960-1976), fragmentary information on various projects and publications, and membership information. Early issues (1923-1936) of the NPRC newsletter, News Bulletin, which disseminated reports of successful publicity for private-sector health and welfare agencies, is available only on microfilm. Later issues of the bulletin and its successor, Channels, are available at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Memorial Library.
