The Archive
Historical background
The Alice-Salomon-Archive started with the administration archive of the Soziale Frauenschule founded in 1908 by Alice Salomon. Predecessors of the two year-courses at the school for social work were the one year social training courses for women that had begun in 1899. The Alice-Salomon-School is the oldest school for social work in Germany. It developed into a centre of the social engagement of the women's movement and was the cradle of professional social work. It was here that the German Academy for Social and Educational Women's Work was founded in 1925, dissolved in 1933, and where women were qualified for social leadership and teaching positions and where a centre for family research was founded. Here finally was the bureau of the German Conference of Schools for Social Work (since 1917) and the International Association of Schools for Social Work (since 1929).
