The Russell Sage Foundation, during its early years, was instrumental in effecting legislative reforms in labor and living conditions in this country, and in New York City in particular. The foundation celebrated its centennial in 2007, and today it remains dedicated to innovative social science research.
In 1949, The City College Libraries received part of the Foundation’s library collection. It contains Russell Sage Foundation publications as well as the many periodicals and monographs that were used by late 19th and early 20th century social work researchers.
This exhibit traces the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Sage, the foundation they created and its library collection in The City College Libraries.
