Still to come:

The final historic webinar, "The Story of the Children's Bureau, 21st Century Child Welfare: 1987 – 2012," will focus on the most recent 25 years in Children's Bureau history. This webinar will take place in March. The date and time are forthcoming.
The next topical webinar, "Taking Risk With Risk: Examining the Conflict Between Children's Rights and Parents' Rights in Child Welfare," will take place in the coming weeks.
An interactive timeline of child welfare and Children's Bureau milestones is scheduled to launch on the centennial website in April.
Also in April, an e-book commemorating the Children's Bureau's history, The Children's Bureau Legacy: Ensuring the Right to Childhood, will be made available.
The second CBX Centennial Series will continue through April. The first Centennial Series addressed some of the social issues, practices, and policies that laid the groundwork for the creation of the Children's Bureau. The second Centennial Series, CB Decade-by-Decade, features articles that examine highlights from each decade of the Children's Bureau's first 100 years.
