| Summary: | Established in 1919 as part of the National Catholic Welfare Council, which became the National Catholic Welfare Conference in 1922, the Education Department sponsored many conventions and conferences and was involved in major issues such as the Oregon School Case of the 1920s attacking parochial education and the later controversy over the establishment of a federal Department of Education. The department worked in close collaboration with the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA), so much so that for the years 1929-1966 the same person directed both entities simultaneously from 1929 to 1966. Along with the reorganization of the NCWC in 1966 that resulted in the creation of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) and their working secretariat the United States Catholic Conference (USCC), the Education Department saw modifications as well. In 2001 there were further changes, with yet another new name for the parent organization, to that of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). Records include correspondence, subject files, reports, scrapbooks, photographs, and publications. |
