New York State War Council Office of Civilian Mobilization Division and Staff Conference Minutes

Chronological by month.

The Division of Civilian Mobilization, the umbrella organization unit comprised of the Office of Civilian Mobilization, Education Department, Health Department, Department of Social Welfare, War Nutrition Services, Office of Physical Fitness, Office of War Training, and War Information Service, worked to coordinate all home front activities including child care, fitness programs, and war bond drives.

This series contains minutes from meetings of both the Division of Civilian Mobilization and Office of Civilian Mobilization which were kept by the OCM's director to document and facilitate plans and activities of the OCM. Minutes of the division's monthly meetings dicuss each organization's programs and delineate decisions made during the meeting. The office staff meeting minutes document organizational decisions made within the Office of Civilian Mobilization on issues such as field services, dissemination of information, and liaison work with other agencies (such as the Red Cross or the Evacuation Committee). Some staff meeting agendas are found in this series also.

This series was originally accessioned as part of box 164 of old collection #77, accession -71.
