The Family Preservation Archives, headed by Dr. Barbara Solomon, is a collection of data gathered from community-based family
preservation networks (CFPNs) in Los Angeles County. As of 2008, the Family Preservation Archives documented over 4000 families
or "cases." From 2002 to 2007, this collection was stored at the Hamovitch Research Center in the School of Social Work at
the University of Southern California.
The collection includes records relating to the design, implementation, and maintenance of the database; the development of
the primary data collection instrument; and the ongoing training and consultation between the CFPN, Department of Children
and Family Services of the Los Angeles County, and the Family Preservation Archives. The collection consists of 10 boxes:
eight boxes of meeting notes, reports, and training and case files; one box of cassette tapes and CDs; and one box of floppy
disks, CDs and Zip drives.
