Collection
Identifier: ACCN 1651
Scope and Contents
The Children's Service Society of Utah records (1884-1990s) contain correspondence, auxiliary information, annual reports, record books, pamphlets, newsletters and clippings, meeting minutes, statistics, financial information, a program celebrating the 1910 Orphans Home Day Vursery opening, and scrapbooks concerning this children's organization. This collection also contains material pertinent to Articles of Incopporation and by-laws changes in 1966. It had been determined that several of the 1935 articles were either outmoded or not enforced, so the society decided to incorporate more modern amendments to the original articles.

Historical Note
Originally named the Orphan's Home and Day Nursery, the Children's Service Society of Utah was founded in 1883 by Mrs. J. E. Hoge and two other women. The organization began as a free day-care nursery and continued in that capacity until the early 1930s. That service was then abandoned and the society began a three-fold program including foster care, unmarried parent services and adoption.
