*Click Media button above for full item list* (in-house only) The collection contains 76 folders of photographic items varying in formats, including postcards, real photograph postcards, black-and-white and color photographic prints and negatives, a glass negative, and color slides. These photographic items were taken by various photographers. They document the Cabbage Patch Settlement House (CPSH), a private charitable organization serving children and their families in Louisville, Kentucky. Photographic items feature the organization’s facilities, activities, leadership, staff, volunteers, and the children and teenagers who participated in Cabbage Patch programs. Dates of photographs range from 1910, when the organization was established by founder and director Louise Marshall (1888-1981), to the 2010s. Most of the items are undated and do not include information about individuals in the photographs. Folders 1-6 contain photographs that were reprinted in The Story of the Cabbage Patch Settlement House as Told by Those Who Lived It (Cabbage Patch Settlement House, 1993) [Filson library collection: Pamphlet 361.7 S887 1993]. Folders 7-21 primarily document the early period of the Cabbage Patch Settlement House from 1910-1930s, including photographs of families of the neighborhood, the original Cabbage Patch building on Ninth Street, Louise Marshall, and such services as sewing and dance classes, the Mother’s Club, the Cooking School, the Daily Vacation Bible School, and the Unemployment Relief Bureau Gardens. Folders 22-31 include photographic items depicting CPSH children and teenagers, staff, and various activities from 1940s-1980s. Folders 32-42 contain photographs and negatives of CPSH athletic teams and activities, such as football, basketball, cheerleading, volleyball, soccer, and tennis from the 1920s-1990s. Folders 43-62 include photographs from the 1950s-1980s of children, teenagers, and adults participating in CPSH camps-on-tour, Thanksgiving dinners at Fort Knox, holiday parties, Golder Agers activities for older people, the Nursery School, gym and open play, and arts and crafts. Folders 63-67 contain photographic items depicting CPSH leadership, staff, and adults from the 1960s-2009, including photographs of longtime staff member Roosevelt Chin and of the rummage sale and holiday bazaar run by the volunteers of the Cabbage Patch Circle. Folders 68-73 include photographs from 1980-2019, with most from the first two decades of the 2000s. They depict CPSH leadership, staff, volunteers, students, and various events and programs, such as Horses Offering Opportunities for the Future (HOOF), Seed to Table, and the annual auction and golf tournament fundraisers. Folders 74-76 include negatives of the 1997 3-on-3 Jamboree (a basketball tournament that served as one of the main fundraisers for the CPSH), oversize photographs of the 1994 3-on-3 Jamboree, and an oversize composite of pre-elementary students and teachers from 1981.
