Professional papers, mainly 1932 to 1989, of Elizabeth Wickenden, a social welfare and Social Security policy consultant, analyst, and writer, and professor of public policy and urban studies. The papers document her professional positions as well as her activities as a consultant to national social welfare organizations, and her leading role in the Study Group on Social Security and the Save Our Security coalition. Also reflected are her activities as Professor of Urban Studies at the City University of New York (1966-1974) and at Fordham University (1979-1983). Issues with which she was concerned include transiency, poverty, welfare reform, welfare rights, welfare law, child protection and child welfare, Social Security and Medicare legislation, national health insurance, and unemployment compensation. There is also a small quantity of personal records and photographs, including school papers and four diaries from the 1920s and 1930s.
