This collection documents Hillside Cottages, formerly Home for the Friendless. The bulk of materials are minutes from Executive Board and Woman's Board meetings, which include correspondence; notes on the number of children and their activities; financial reports and budgets; health and medical reports, and medical examinations; annual reports; reports from the president and the Kiwanis Club; and statements of operation. The collection also contains a scrapbook divided and foldered by year, background and operational information, and information about the children cared for at Hillside Cottages, including population sheets and a record book of children “admitted” and “dismissed.” In addition, there are donation and membership records from individuals, the Atlanta Kiwanis Club, and Trust Company of Georgia. Of particular note are investigations from the State Department of Public Welfare and the Social Planning Council, and a report from the Child Welfare League of America. Also of note are secretary reports from 1898-1901.
