National Federation of Settlements and Neighborhood Centers

Description

This folder contains records created/collected by the National Federation of Settlements and Neighborhood Centers, now United Neighborhood Centers of America, including correspondence, memoranda, reports, minutes, financial records, photographs, and other documents. The Federation, which was founded in 1911, included local settlement houses and neighborhood centers from across the United States and Canada. The records document the programs, methodology, member agencies, and administration of the Federation, which was known as the National Federation of Settlements from 1911 to 1949; National Federation of Settlements and Neighborhood Centers from 1949 to 1979; and United Neighborhood Center of America beginning in 1980. Information about issues and individuals makes this a key resource for the study of social welfare in twentieth century America. This folder contains records relating to the Techniculture Conference. Originally planned in response to demands from Black delegates for a conference that reflected the specific needs of their communities, as well as their lack of representation in the National Federation of Settlements (NFS). After conversations with other people of color within the NFS the conference was expanded to a multicultural focus and made open to all settlement house workers of color. The conference was named the Techniculture Conference, a play on words referencing ""technicolor""
