In Series Two of this microfilm project we cover Sections III, IV, VI, VII and VIII of the William Henry Beveridge Papers from the British Library of Political and Economic Science. This project covers just those Sections of subject files with a strong bearing on the Welfare State, the Beveridge Report, Social Insurance, Health, Pensions and Economic Planning after 1945.
Other Sections, principally the major runs of correspondence and other material still restricted by copyright are not covered here. The subject files in this microfilm project are made available as follows:
Part 1: Early Working Papers on Welfare, Labour and Unemployment Insurance, 1902-1944 (Sections III and IV) Part 2: Politics, Economic Planning, Social Insurance, Health and the Welfare State, 1944-1963 (Section VI) Part 3: Correspondence and Papers on Health Services, Old Age, Pensions, New Towns and Post-War Europe, 1919- 1962 (Section VII) Part 4: Reports and Working Papers on Coal, Unemployment, Food Rationing, Manpower, Fuel and Social Insurance, 1925-1961 (Section VIII)
Re-examining the Welfare State in detail has become a major preoccupation of modern day governments in the late 1990s. Here we provide a comprehensive microfilm edition of all the private papers amassed by Beveridge on this subject between 1902 and 1963.
The publication of the Beveridge Report, in 1942, captured the public imagination and it was his proposals which set the agenda for post-war reconstruction. This Report enjoyed widespread coverage in the American press.
It made the following major recommendations:
a comprehensive scheme of Social Insurance including unemployment and sickness benefit, maternity benefit, widow’s benefit and pension, guardian’s allowance, retirement pension and other grants a free National Health Service a system of Family Allowances training schemes for the Unemployed
There is extensive detail on all these topics as well as many documents on Beveridge's thinking in the 1920s and 1930s.
In the process of compiling his findings Beveridge looked in detail at many early attempts to pass legislation to make provision for social need. This included analysis of early steps taken in Germany under Bismarck, the work of the Webbs and the Fabian Society, legislation passed by Lloyd George in 1911, the US Wisconsin Plan and the National Resources Planning Board of the United States of America.
Above all Beveridge is best remembered for the beginning of the Social Services administration and the Welfare State in Britain, the formation of the National Health Service and the desire to tackle the difficult problems of unemployment.
Part 1 covers a range of papers from Beveridge's work with the London Unemployed Fund in 1904 and 1905, his visit to Germany in 1907, his study of unemployment as a problem of industry, his work on Labour Exchanges, Unemployment Insurance, to Manpower and Reconstruction in the Inter-War period.
Part 2 includes his correspondence as a constituency MP for Berwick on Tweed, 1944-1945, the General Election campaign of 1945 as well as all Beveridge's papers relating to Parliamentary affairs and debates, especially Social Insurance, the Children's Bill, the Economic Situation, Housing, the Family, Welfare, the Health Service, the National Insurance Bill of 1954, Provision for Old Age, Pension Schemes, Transport Problems, the United Nations, Disarmament and Europe.
Part 3 has a strong focus on Health Services, Hospitals, Old Age, Pensions, Economic Planning, New Towns, Post-War Europe and the role of the United Nations after 1945, the European-Atlantic Group, along with material on the Crusade for World Government, Federal Union, the Parliamentary Group for World Government and papers on Broadcasting and Television.
Part 4 provides complete coverage of all the working papers, correspondence and notes for all Beveridge's Reports:
The Royal Commission on the Coal Industry of 1925, with papers for 1925-1930. The Unemployment Insurance Statutory Committee of 1934-1944, with papers for 1934-1944.

Technical Note Our microfilm publications have been prepared and produced in accordance with recommended and established guide-lines for the production of microform of superior quality. These conform to the recommendations of the standard guides to good microforming and micropublishing practice. Attention should be drawn to the nature of the original material. All the material consists of boxes containing bundles and files of correspondence and loose papers as well as some volumes of printed material, notebooks and other bound items. Most of the material is in very good condition. A few manuscript documents consist of faintly legible correspondence and records written with a variety of inks, pens or pencils and on paper of many different types and thicknesses. A few items are stained or discoloured at the edges, or comprise material on very thin paper, which is so thin that there is show through that renders the original document difficult to read. A couple of the original files have suffered from water damage and we have used our best efforts to reproduce these difficult items. These original characteristics present difficulties of image and contrast which stringent tests and camera alterations cannot entirely overcome. Every effort has been made to minimise these difficulties. An A4 identification target is filmed at the front of every new item. The staff of Microformat UK Ltd have exercised the most responsible care in the filming of this unique collection at the British Library of Economic and Political Science and this microfilm publication meets the standards established by the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

"The social policy that Beveridge elaborated in the Report is a skilful blend of measures and proposals that were in themselves tried and tested, familiar to people in all walks of life, and for that reason relatively uncontested, enriched by one or two somewhat more radical ideas. These more radical ideas might well have provoked controversy and opposition had that been STATE PROV SOC NEED: SERIES TWO: Parts 3 and 4 suggested before the War... Beveridge's assumptions are quite breath-taking. First, there should be a scheme of children's allowances, to be paid to everyone with dependent children; second that there should be a comprehensive health care system; and finally that full employment would be maintained... Maintaining full employment must have sounded to many ears like an unbelievable pipe-dream, and certainly at the time of the Report no Government had accepted that it had either the duty or even the capacity to make this aspiration even a feasibility. But for Beveridge it was an assumption, a prerequisite for social security. Here Beveridge was being at his most bold, and it is arguable that it was these assumptions which became the essential foundation stones of the British Welfare State that developed after the War."

Its author has brought to it a vast knowledge of his subject, a reformer’s zeal, a lively and creative mind and, last but not least, a genius for lucid exposition. What he has attempted is to 6 unify all the existing schemes of social insurance into one single scheme and to provide a system which will remove from the mind of the wageearner the fear of penury during periods of illhealth, involuntary unemployment and old age. It is a bold and imaginative conception and, in a sense it is a logical development of the series of insurance measures which have been placed upon the Statute Book during the past thirty years. For many of these, Conservative Governments, or Governments in which Conservatives predominated, have been proud to be responsible...” 4 December 1942.
