Subseries I.6: Children and Youth
- Scope and content:
-
This series included chronologically arranged correspondence, proceedings, meeting minutes, notes and background materials from a number of Children and Youth programs undertaken by the CCNY under David Hamburg's leadership, such as Carnegie Council for Adolescent Development (CCAD), Education and Healthy Development for Children and Youth (EHDCY), Prevention of Damage to Children , Education, Science Technology and the Economy(ESTE), Task Force for Learning in Primary Grades (TFLPG) and Middle Grade School State Policy Initiative. The series also contains correspondence and reports relating to Forum on Education and the Economy, and Project 2061 under the auspices of the American Association for Advancement of Science. The files document and discuss issues of health and public policy, prenatal development, families and communities, child abuse, aggression and violence, schools and educational programs. Materials frequently contain edits of Hamburg's earlier writings, or refer to his related previous work for other institutions. For additional materials on science education see also Subseries I.5 (CCSTG). Official records of CCAD, TFLPG and other special projects by the Carnegie Corporations can be found in the corresponding subseries of the Carnegie Corporation of New York Records, Series IV.
