Survey Associates

Description

This folder contains materials from editorial files created by Survey Associaties, Inc., publishers of the Survey family of magazines. The Survey had roots in several other magazines which were concerned with philanthropy, including the Charities Review, Charities and the Commons, and Jewish Charities. From 1912 the Surveywas published weekly, but because weekly publication was prohibitively expensive and because of a constant clash between readers seeking technical material and readers seeking an overall view of philanthropic fields, the Survey split into two publications: the Survey Midmonthly and the Survey Graphic.The Survey Midmonthly was formally founded in June, 1922, as a digest of social work. The Survey Graphic was a magazine of "social interpretation" directed at people who were concerned with social and economic problems. It focused on areas of industrial relations, health, education, international relations, housing, race relations, consumer education, and related fields. This folder specifically contanis materials including re-publication request correspondence from two African American focused periodicals, "The Negro" and "The Negro Digest," as well as correspondence with the National Urban League.
