ISS-USA’s Archives & Research services provide access to historical records for personal, academic, and professional use. With over a century of preserved case files, correspondence, and adoption records, the archives serve as a resource for individuals tracing family history, as well as researchers studying international social services and migration. These records offer insight into cross-border connections and global social work practices, supporting both personal inquiries and scholarly work.
