Harlan County

Scope and content:

In 1947 the Alliance for Guidance of Rural Youth helped the people of Harlan County, Kentucky, set up programs to deal with educational and vocational guidance, health, nutrition, child welfare, and the prevention of juvenile delinquency. The programs were a county-wide continuation of a much smaller guidance and health program started at the Pine Mountain Settlement School in 1935. Material from Harlan County is divided into three broad categories: Guidance Institutes, community programs generated by the Institutes, and material related to the book written about the work in Harlan County, Guidance in a Rural-Industrial Community. A copy of the book is in Box 27.
