This is a good resource to learn the history of the organization and see the beginning stages of their engagement in domestic work.

It is more focused on the NCHE and its creation. It gives lots of details on the formation of the first conference in 1928 and provides context for looking at box 494 in the SSC.

It is mostly focused on the second leg of the organization in the 1960s when the organization shifted to support domestic workers more fully. It focuses on a different time period than the SSC collection, but serves as a good resource for further research into the NCHE.
