- Abstract
- The National Travelers Aid Assocation records consist primarily of papers and reports produced by the national association, and by the Wilmington office of the USO, in the 1940s and 1960s. Much of the material was collected by one of the caseworkers in the Wilmington office, Lola Selby, who was in charge of Travelers' Aid. Of especial interest are the papers and reports on services to mobile populations, and the scrapbook documenting the founding and activities of the Wilmington office of the USO during World War II.
