Abstract:

Papers, 1896-1933, of Helen L. Sumner Woodbury, a labor economist who was associated with the U.S. Department of Labor (1913-1918; in the Children's Bureau, 1915-1918); Institute of Economics (1924-1926); and the American Bureau of Industrial Research (1904). The papers contain correspondence, a reference file, book notes and drafts, and clippings of Woodbury. Some of the correspondence is personal but much concerns her professional activities and her interest in liberal and socialist causes. Correspondents include her teacher, John R. Commons, Julia Lathrop of the Children's Bureau, book collaborators John B. Andrews and Ethel E. Hanks, and James MacKaye of the Institute of Political Engineering, which she helped found.
