The Spanish Child Welfare Association was founded in New York City in 1937 for the purpose of raising funds to evacuate, feed and nurse children who were victims of the Spanish Civil War. It raised funds primarily by sponsoring exhibitions of drawings done by Spanish children and paintings by contemporary Spanish artists at art museums, colleges and art associations. Collection consists of correspondence and office records of the Association, and photographs. Correspondence concerns recruiting of members, arrangements for fund-raising exhibitions of drawings and paintings, publication of book about Spanish children's drawings, publicity, and condition of refugee children in Spain. Office records include minutes of meetings, memoranda, reports, membership lists, by-laws, and financial reports. Also, photographs of exhibitions of children's art.
