| Abstract: |
The child care agency Graham Windham was founded by a merger of two predecessor organizations:
the Graham Home for Children (founded in 1806 as the Orphan Asylum Society) and Windham
Child Care (founded in 1835 as the Society for the Relief of Half Orphans and Destitute
Children). The 1977 merger created Graham Windham Services to Families and Children,
now called Graham Windham. The collection includes records of the Orphan Asylum Society/Graham
Home 1806-1977, the Society for the Relief of Half Orphans and Destitute Children/Windham
Child Care 1841-1977, and Graham Windham 1977-2011. The collection also contains
one document from the Society for the Relief of Poor Widows with Small Children circa
1804-1881, a half box of records of the Tuberculosis Preventorium 1910-1949 and a
volume of minutes of the New York Methodist Sunday School Society of the West Circuit
1835-1837.
