Title
A name given to the resource
National Committee on Maternal Health records, 1923-1959. B MS c78
Description
An account of the resource
The Committee on Maternal Health was organized in New York City in 1923 by Robert L. Dickinson (1861-1950). After obtaining financial backing from several society women, Dickinson recruited physicians for the Committee to sponsor medical investigation of contraception, infertility, spontaneous abortion, and related issues. In 1930 "National" was added to its name, and the role of the Committee shifted to that of a clearing house for information on these issues; the Committee sponsored a series of monographs which were to serve as a handbook for doctors. The shift occurred because Dickinson was unsuccessful in obtaining sufficient data from hospitals for their research, and also failed to gain support from the medical profession for a clinical investigation through Margaret Sanger's Clinical Research Bureau. Dickinson, however, did associate himself with Sanger's Clinic in a private capacity after 1930, and was to serve as mediator through whom organized medicine made its peace with the birth control movement. Dickinson died in 1950. The Committee's office at the New York Academy of Medicine was closed in 1955, shortly before the resignation of the executive director. The Population Council was its successor organization; the data-gathering section remained in New York and the Council itself located in Princeton, N.J.
The collection records the activities of the earlier Committee on Maternal Health, and research, publications, and projects of the National Committee on Maternal Health (NCMH). Files contain agendas, minutes of executive committee and board of directors' meetings, annual reports, officer reports, and secretary's correspondence from 1923 to 1955. Also contains correspondence of executive directors, of Dickinson, and other committee members; correspondents include Margaret Sanger. Additional items include legal documents, financial statements and ledgers, reprints and bibliographies of NCMH publications, membership lists, and printed material on birth control. Events reflected in the records include a report of a 1924 visit to Sanger's Clinical Research Bureau by Dickinson and G. W. Kozmak; reports on the formation of Maternity Research Council; reports of round table discussions; and conference materials for the 1942 conference on the Medical Aspects of the Woman War Worker and the 1942 Conference on Abortion Problems. Also includes meeting minutes from the New York Obstetrical Society's Committee on Contraception (1923); and contract with National Research Council's Committee on Human Reproduction, with related correspondence.

Description
An account of the resource
After World War II, Dickinson’s National Committee on Maternal Health and Planned Parenthood (the successor to Margaret Sanger’s American Birth Control League) asked the National Research Council to oversee a program of research in reproductive science and medicine. Rock was a founding member of the resulting Committee on Human Reproduction and wrote its research agenda. In 1948, the committee planned to support 10 research projects, including projects headed by Gregory Pincus, Rock, and Clarence J. Gamble. Rock would later head the first trial of progesterone and estrogen on a small group of women at the Free Hospital of women.
