Series 10: Press clipping scrapbooks, 1933-1950, bulk

Assembled by BCSP staff, these scrapbooks contain press clippings on the activities of the Brooklyn Council for Social Planning from its founding until its dissolution in 1957, as well as articles on subjects of concern to the Council (pending social welfare legislation, funding for services, veterans issues, etc.). The pages covering 1933 include minutes of meetings, meeting agendas, and form letters as well. The earliest clippings chronicle the founding of the organization; the last describe its demise. The majority of articles clipped are from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle; other New York City newspapers, including The New York Times are also represented.
