Series III. Health, Education and Welfare, 1952-1976

This series is comprised of letters about Hobby's appointment as the first Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. There are clippings and photographs that document Hobby's days with the Department, as well as a limited amount of reports and office files. Except for the handwritten notes, these files for the most part duplicate, but do not encompass the scope of the materials at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library. The Office Files include materials on her Education Program, the Salk Vaccine, Segregation and Social Security. There are also several speeches she gave and statements issued by the Department. Finally there is a history of the department, Health Education and Welfare, by Brian Spinks.

Arranged in three sub-series:

• Subseries A: Biographical, 1953-1976;
• Subseries B: Office Files, 1952-1976
• Subseries C: Book, n.d.
