Historical Note
The Los Angeles Florence Crittenton Home was established in Los Angeles in 1892, as a cooperative effort between Reverend
J. W. Ellsworth and Charles Crittenton, an evangelist who was responsible for the establishment of many similar homes throughout
the United States. In 1882, Mr. Crittenton's youngest daughter, Florence, died suddenly of scarlet fever. The shock of her
death led Crittenton to give up his highly successful pharmaceutical business and begin an evangelical ministry. Crittenton's
ministry soon concentrated on the reclamation of prostitutes and other women who had fallen on hard times. Crittenton would
travel the country for the next two decades, preaching to large crowds and donating much of the proceeds of this ministry
to the establishment of local homes for the care of "fallen women" and their children. Almost immediately, the home--named
for his daughter Florence--became refuges for unwed mothers. In 1898, the Florence Crittenton Mission was given a national
charter, which allowed for coordinated control of these various homes across the country.
Crittenton's successor as coordinator of the Mission's efforts was Dr. Kate Waller Barrett, under whose tenure, the Florence
Crittenton Homes established the goals and ideology that would characterize the Crittenton Mission throughout the twentieth
century.
Dr. Barrett stressed the value of motherhood as a means for creating social services that were suitable for women. While family
planning was embraced, for instance, Barrett was insistent that every effort should be made to persuade unwed mothers to keep
their children. The goal of the Florence Crittenton Homes, then, was to make productive citizens and suitable mothers out
of young women who had been led to motherhood by irregular life-styles.
The Los Angeles Florence Crittenton Home was established in 1892. At the time, Charles Crittenton was on the West Coast, preaching,
and establishing homes in San Francisco and San Jose. Wishing to establish a home in Los Angeles, Reverend J. W. Ellsworth
apparently requested Crittenton's aid in raising funds for a home to be built on lands donated by Reverend W. C. Stevens.
The Home experienced financial difficulties that culminated in a prolonged intervention by Dr. Barrett, who restructured the
organization, creating both a board of directors who handled business affairs and a separate organization to manage the day-to-day
operations of the home. The financial turn-around was dramatic enough that the Los Angeles Florence Crittenton Home was able
to move into a new, $75,000 facility, in 1915. Over the years, the organization of the Florence Crittenton Home has been refined.
In 1936, funding and volunteer coordination was greatly enhanced by the creation of "circles," smaller groups--sometimes project-oriented,
sometimes associated with other charitable organizations--that provided a sense of structure and direction to volunteer activity.
In 1950 the Florence Crittenton Home Association was formed.
The Home was fortunate to have a series of exceptionally talented administrators. The president of the Home between 1914 and
1929 was Mrs. Henry Hurd, who established the new organization in line with the principles of Dr. Barrett. Mrs. Hurd was succeeded
by Mrs. Dora Shaw Heffner, who shepherded the Home through the difficult Depression and World War II years. Mrs. Heffner was
greatly aided by Miss Ruth Swalestuen, who was superintendent of the activities of the home for nearly three decades. Shortly
after Miss Swalestuen's retirement, Ms. Katheryn Nielsen became superintendent. Ms. Nielsen oversaw the transition of the
mission of the Crittenton Center during the difficult 1960s and 1970s.
During the last third of the twentieth century, the mission of the Crittenton Home began to change somewhat, in response to
social changes. As extramarital sexual behavior became less taboo and illegitimacy lost much of its social approbation, the
Los Angeles Florence Crittenton Home began to focus more on girls and young women who were undergoing social or familial stress
for a wide variety of reasons. This change of emphasis is reflected in the later name changes for the Home. In 1969, it became
"Florence Crittenton Services," and in 1982 it was renamed "Crittenton Center for Young Women & Infants." Despite these changes,
the Center has remained true to the original vision of Charles Crittenton, to restore dignity and a place in society to young
women who have no other means of support.

Scope and Content
The Los Angeles Florence Crittenton Home records consists of correspondence, meeting notes and minutes, photographs, publications
and newspaper clippings related to the history and development of the Los Angeles Florence Crittenton Home. Apart from the
photographs and clippings, the greatest concentrations of material are from 1906-1915, 1947-1955, and the 1990s. The photographic
collections span the period between the 1920s and the 1950s, and include many photographs of staff and board members.
The clippings have been maintained sporadically from the 1920s through the present in a series of scrapbooks; after 1966,
the source of these clippings is Allen's P.C.B., a clippings service. For the most part, the press releases that generated
these clippings are not preserved. Many of the older publications and other items of archival interest were originally pasted
into the clippings scrapbooks; these have been removed from the scrapbooks in order to facilitate conservation.
Organization
The records are organized into 4 series:
Series 1. Operations
Series 2. Publications
Series 3. Personnel
Series 4. Clippings
Conditions Governing Access

Scope and Content
This series is mostly a photographic history of the Los Angeles Florence Crittenton Home, although one folder of resumes is
preserved. Most of the photographs were maintained in albums. Photos were removed from this highly acidic environment and
the captions written beneath them were transcribed onto the envelopes into which each photo was rehoused. The listing below
includes the date of the photograph and the caption assigned in the original scrapbooks.
Particular note should be made of two albums created for special purposes: One celebrates a tea party given on 1971 September
10; all the photos associated with this album are filed in folder 1:25. The other is a memory book presented to Katheryn Nielsen
as a part of the honors rendered her at her retirement; although these photos have been reintegrated into the over-all collection,
a listing of which photos were used for that album can be found in folder 1:22.
Arrangement note
Arrangement is by date. Most photographs are described and stored individually. Photos listed in other sections of this finding
aid are not listed here.

Scope and Contents

Clippings /repositories/3/archival_objects/131304
1928-1983
Physical Description: 4 Linear Feet
Scope and Content
This series includes 13 albums into which newspaper clippings and other items have been pasted. The highly acidic environment
of the albums has made them exceptionally fragile. Clippings mostly concern the social activities related to fundraising or
other public support programs. The 1967 album was originally used as a sign-in register for local, regional, and national
meetings in 1964-1965; clippings were then pasted over these registers. From 1966 on, the clippings have been collected by
Allen's P. C. B., a news clippings service. Many non-newspaper items have been extracted from these albums for preservation
with other series.
