Scope and Content
The Family Service of Los Angeles records consist primarily of meeting minutes, 1925-1988, that document in great detail the day to day activies of this private social service organization. In addition to minutes, the records also contain some correspondence and memorandums, notes, reports, clippings, and brochures. The minutes provide a comprehensive look at the history and functioning of Family Service from its beginnings as the Family Welfare Assocaition of Los Angeles through its merger with the Did Hirsch Community Health Center. Of particular historical value are Depression era relief reports from 1930 to 1936, produced as the new agency repeatedly expanded its services in its first years to keep pace with the nation's economic emergency, and the records of the last ten years of Family Service's decline.
