                            SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE



      The records of the National Council of Jewish Women,
National Office, span the years 1893-1989, with the bulk dating
from 1940 to 1981.  The records are divided into two parts of
three series each.  Part I contains an Administrative File,
1914-78; National Conventions File, 1893-1963; and Subject File,
1896-1981.  Part II is arranged according to the same series,
with similar and overlapping material, but spans different dates: 
Administrative File, 1946-81; National Conventions File, 1965-80;
and Subject File, ca. 1893-1989.

      The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) grew out of the
1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.  In 1890 the fair's
planners decided that a parliament of religions would be one of
the international congresses held during the exposition.  Chicago
clubwoman and reformer Hannah Greenebaum Solomon was appointed
head of the Jewish Women's Committee, which sought to use the
congress to educate Christians about Judaism and to promote
international unity and tolerance.  At the close of the congress,
Solomon and her committee resolved that they would form a
permanent organization, known as the NCJW, with two purposes. 
First, this new organization would keep Judaism alive by
informing women of their religious duties and their role in
rearing Jewish children.  Secondly, its members would "take part
as a large group in all that concerns the welfare of mankind,"
solving together growing social problems that were impossible for
the individual to combat alone.

      In three short years, by the time of its first triennial
convention in 1896, the NCJW had more than four thousand members
and fifty local sections.  In the hundred years since its
creation, the NCJW has grown to approximately one hundred
thousand members and has established itself as one of the
preeminent reform organizations of the twentieth century,
actively involved in a wide variety of concerns:  immigrant aid,
opposition to the white slave trade, educational opportunities
and vocational training for the blind and visually impaired,
maternal and infant health care, establishment of child labor
laws, religious education, opposition to anti-Semitism,
international relief work, civil rights for blacks and women, and
peace initiatives.

      Although there are few records extant for the council's
early years, the NCJW records richly document the organization's
activities from the 1920s onward, particularly since World War
II.  Throughout this period, the NCJW maintained an active
interest in the aged, child care, consumer issues, education,
employment, food and nutrition, foreign assistance, housing,
immigration, Israel, Jewish life and culture, juvenile
delinquency, national health insurance, social welfare, trade,
the United Nations, women's rights, and other issues.  Special
concerns emerged in each decade: atomic warfare, European
refugees, postwar price controls, and the establishment of the
United Nations during the 1940s; the council's Freedom Campaign
against McCarthyism in the 1950s; civil rights and sex
discrimination during the 1960s; and abortion rights, human
rights, and Soviet Jewry during the 1970s.

      A board of directors and an executive committee govern the
NCJW and maintain national headquarters in New York City. 
National committees assist in the administration of council
programs and receive technical support and expertise from
professionally staffed departments based at council headquarters
in New York.  Members vote on council policies and resolutions at
national conventions, which have been held every two years since
1953 and every three years before then.

      The two Administrative File series contain minutes of
meetings of the organization's national board of directors and
executive board (later executive committee).  The National
Convention Files include transcripts of proceedings, memoranda,
and reports for most of the council's national conferences. 
These records reveal the aims of the council and its efforts to
sponsor programs in education, social action, and community
service for youth, the elderly, and women.  Information on
regional conferences and district conventions may be found in the
Subject File series under the heading "National Council of Jewish
Women."

      Both series of subject files document the council's advocacy
of legislative initiatives affecting social welfare,
constitutional rights, civil liberties, and equality for women. 
Significant files include those on labor, international relations
and peace, assistance to war refugees, and the United Nations. 
The two Subject File series also include the official statements
and policies of the council, press releases, and various national
council publications, including newsletters, program monographs,
catalogs, brochures, training manuals, and handbooks.

      Related collections held by the Library of Congress
Manuscript Division include the Hannah G. Solomon Papers and the
records of the Washington, D.C., office of the National Council
of Jewish Women.
