The Attic Angel Association papers illustrate the role a private charitable organization played in fulfilling the early welfare needs of the city of Madison. The minutes of the organization are complete from 1899 to 1960. In addition to chronicling the activities of the Attic Angels, the minutes trace the growth of the Visiting Nurse Service in Madison. Treasurer's reports are included in the minutes. The Attic Angel scrapbook, although kept from 1904 to 1924, contains material that goes back to 1898. The scrapbook consists of newspaper clippings, programs from fund raising activities, and reports from the Visiting Nurse Service. At the time of processing the pages of the scrapbook were photocopied for preservation purposes.
The entire collection was microfilmed in 1995 and the originals returned to the Attic Angel Association.
