Vida Simenas Grayson, 1957, M.S.S. 1960, founded the Social Work Archive in 1980 to preserve and share the fruitful history of the social work profession.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.2.2″]
At the 65th SSW Anniversary, she explained the archive’s purpose; “The Social Work Archive is a special division of The Sophia Smith Collection, a world-renowned collection on women’s history. It was organized for the specific purpose of preserving for historical research the papers and interviews of leaders in social work education and practice. The aim is to document the building blocks of our theory of practice. The collection will encompass the pivotal figures, both men and women, who through their writings, teaching or clinical work, advanced the basic concepts of social work practice. The individuals selected will not be limited to Smith graduates, but since the School’s history is closely linked with leaders in social work education, a number of Smith alumni and faculty members will be represented.”
