An Inventory of Its Case Files at the Minnesota Historical Society

Government Records

Part or all of this collection is restricted.
For details, please see restrictions.


Expand/CollapseOVERVIEW

Creator: Hennepin County (Minn.). Welfare Board.
Title:Case Files.
Dates:1971-1982.
Language:Materials in English.
Abstract:Sample case files of the welfare board that the board retained presumably as a 5% (1:20) linear sample. However, there is no actual evidence to substantiate that presumption. The files were closed by the welfare board between 1971 and 1982 due primarily to death or movement out of the county. They deal mainly with old age assistance, aid to the blind, aid to the disabled, and medical assistance. Some of the files contain material dating back to the 1930s.
Quantity:15.0 cubic feet (15 boxes).
Location: See Detailed Description for shelf locations.

Expand/CollapseSCOPE AND CONTENTS

There are also two subseries of General Assistance Aid Files and Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) Files dating from 1976 to 1981. Only one file out of five has been retained of these two subseries, however.
