Historical Note The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principals of the International Red Cross Movement. The Federal Charter states it is a nonprofit, tax-exempt, charitable organization. The organization's seven fundamental principles are: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality. This mission guides the organization to provide relief to victims of disasters and to help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. At the beginning of the World War I, the American Red Cross was a small organization still in the process of developing its identity and programs. When the United States declared war against Germany on April 6, 1917, the organization began a period of extraordinary growth. By the time the war ended in November 1918, the Red Cross had become a major national humanitarian organization with strong leadership, a huge membership base, universal recognition, and a broad and distinguished record of service. The Red Cross continues to respond to emergencies today. Scope and Content of Collection The records of the American National Red Cross (ARC) in this collection deal mainly with relief around the world during and after World War I. The records of the ARC are arranged by geographical location where each particular commission operated: commissions for the Balkan States (including countries such as Albania, Austria-Hungary, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia), Belgium, China, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Palestine and Egypt, Switzerland, and Russia (Petrograd Children's Colony, Siberia, Southern Russia, Western Russia, and Baltic States). The documents reflect the massive efforts put forth by the ARC to deliver aid to regions devastated by the war. If the commission for a certain region or country operated in another territory (for example the Commission for Czechoslovakia opened hospitals on the territory of Russia), the documents may be found among the records of that geographic location. Along with official reports and financial records, correspondence of gratitude for the ARC gives a human side to the organization. The collection also contains records of related organizations including the American Relief Administration, International and Junior Red Cross, YMCA, and American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. The material presents a comprehensive history of relief work around the world, as well as economic and health conditions, political and social developments. The Miscellany series includes documents of most geographic areas of the American National Red Cross that were not included in the original arrangement, and contains supplemental records of each commission. Printed matter contains bulletins, magazines, reports, pamphlets, instructions, and manuals published by the ARC. Inventory of the American XX482 2 National Red Cross records Arrangement Records are arranged as originally received from the organization; generally by Commission or Office in geographical locations as well as the Headquarters Offices.

Foreword More than a century and a half of history, the Turkish Red Crescent (TRC) has been fighting against the global diseases, effects of war, natural disasters, earthquakes, famine, and poverty whilst representing mercy and compassion all over the world. One of the primary objectives of Turkish Red Crescent is to empower individuals, and thus the society to alleviate the human suffering caused by diseases, disasters and poverty. The Turkish Red Crescent is the largest humanitarian organization in Turkey with 541 branches and over 11000 staff countrywide. Turkish Red Crescent is the sole host and operational Movement actor in the country, and works closely with the relevant Turkish government ministries, local authorities, disaster response, and migration management agencies in line with its assigned mandate and duties. Due to the continuing conflict in Syria, Turkey remains host to some 5 million refugees within its borders, including nationals from Syria, Somalia, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan – making it the country with the largest refugee population in the world.

    Elisabeth Crowell and Visiting Nurse Education in Europe, 1917-1925

    Elisabeth Crowell and Visiting Nurse Education in Europe, 1917-1925 By Jaime Lapeyre RN, Ph.D. Candidate University of Toronto Canada [email protected] and By Sioban Nelson RN, Ph.D., FCAHS Dean and Professor, Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing University of Toronto Canada [email protected] © 2011 by Jaime Lapeyre and Sioban Nelson The Rockefeller Foundation’s (RF) Commission for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in France (CPTF) was established in 1917 and included the RF’s first involvement with the training of nurses. During the first few years of the war the RF had formed a War Relief Commission and provided aid to Belgium, Serbia and Poland, as well as other war-ravaged countries, as a result of their continued study of conditions in Europe. Upon the U.S.’s entry into the war, and the formation of the War Council under the American Red Cross, the RF withdrew its War Relief Commission and merged its resources with the Red Cross. One of the areas in most need of help was that of tuberculosis prevention in France. After careful study of this field by Dr. Hermann Biggs, New York State Commissioner of Health, and at the invitation of French authorities, the International Health Board (IHB) of the RF formed the Commission for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in France. The work of the Commission included establishing centers for the training of tuberculosis workers and visiting nurses.1 1 The nurse placed in charge of the Commission’s training program for health visitors was Frances Elisabeth Crowell. Crowell was an American, who after completing her training as a nurse, moved to New York to complete her social work education at the New York School of Philanthropy.
  • About the Red Cross

    About the Red Cross

    About the Red Cross The International Red Cross & Red Crescent Movement An understanding of the origins of the Red Cross Movement and its guiding principles is critical to understanding the operating philosophies behind Red Cross programs and services. The Red Cross originated on an Italian battlefield in 1859. A travelling Swiss businessman, Henry Dunant, came across the carnage remaining from the battle and garnered the support of local villagers to care for all the wounded. Dunant outlined the poor conditions and treatment of the war-wounded in his book A Memory of Solferino and advocated for neutral volunteer medical personnel to supplement army medical services. A conference in 1863 promoted the protection of those who care for the wounded as well as the wounded themselves. Neutrality was to become the cornerstone of the Movement: the care and respect of victims regardless of nationality or the “side” they fought on. The Movement became the Red Cross, and was symbolized by a red cross on a white background (the reverse of the Swiss flag). The Red Crescent operates in certain Muslim countries with a red crescent on a white background symbolizing the same protection and neutrality. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is the largest humanitarian volunteer organization in the world. The Movement has more than 178 member countries, of which Canada is one. The goal of the Movement is to alleviate pain and suffering. Seven Fundamental Principles provide direction for the Movement and all Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies must adhere to them. These Principles are also applicable to you as a Red Cross Training Partner.
