Abstract: This collection consists of approximately fifty of Prof. Schindler-Rainman's papers and publications from the decades of the
1960s and the 1970s, as well as an oral history. Eva Schindler-Rainman (d. 1996) was a leader in the field of social work
voluntarism, and one of the few voluntarism pioneers to gain popularity both within and outside the field. An organizational
consultant, a social worker with a PhD, and a behavioral scientist, she was known for her advocacy of effective human resource
development--paid and volunteer--and for non-traditional organization design and development. She worked in both the nonprofit
and corporate worlds, eventually becoming one of the "deans" of the National Training Laboratory (NTL) in Maine. She was one
of the originators and disseminators of "brainstorming," a problem-solving exercise that broke new ground in the 1970s.

to gain popularity both within and outside the field. An organizational consultant, a social worker with a PhD, and a behavioral
scientist, she was known for her advocacy of effective human resource development--paid and volunteer--and for non-traditional

a problem-solving exercise that broke new ground in the 1970s.

Included in the papers are the transcript of an oral history of Schindler-Rainman conducted by Charlotte S. Langley in 1992,
