- Description:
- Established in 1946 as the educational arm of the Southern Conference for Human Welfare, the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF) became a separate organization in 1947. Originally based in New Orleans, Louisiana, its office later moved to Louisville, Kentucky, then to Atlanta, Georgia. SCEF was a leading proponent of integration and civil rights in the South, but internal disputes and financial problems led to its demise in the 1980s. The records of the Southern Conference Educational Fund span 1958-1985 (bulk 1970-1981). They include correspondence, notes and minutes from SCEF Board and Interim Committee meetings, financial and fundraising information, reports from SCEF chapters, information on various SCEF programs and activities, court documents, and correspondence and indexes related the SCEF newspaper.
