The U.S. Children's Bureau was established in 1912 with this charge: "The . . . bureau shall investigate and report . . . upon all matters pertaining to the welfare of children and child life among all classes of our people, and shall especially investigate the questions of infant mortality, the birth rate, orphanage, juvenile courts, desertion, dangerous occupations, accidents and diseases of children, employment, [and] legislation affecting children in the several States and Territories."

The documents below have been digitized from a collection of U.S. Children's Bureau publications from 1912 to 1969 in the Maternal and Child Health Library, Georgetown University.  In addition, selected documents that discuss the history of the Children's Bureau are included, and links are provided to Children's Bureau documents from the period that have been digitized by other libraries.

The digitization project was initiated in October, 2006, and includes approximately 450 documents.
