Historians, Emotions, and Children’s Trauma in the Archives
This reflective essay focuses on the emotionality of children’s creations in the archives, particularly where children’s creations give insight into traumatic histories. I argue that history will be better placed when historians write more openly about the inherently distressing nature of the materials they consume. It is impossible to be unaffected by such material and acknowledging this will make our work more transparent by outlining to reader…
Californians and Others
This state-level study emphasizes the influence of local administration on welfare provision, even amidst a huge national New Deal effort. It interrogates John Steinbeck's allegation in “Starvation under the Orange Trees” that migrant children died avoidable deaths in Depression-era California because of discriminatory policies and apathetic officials. Steinbeck's reportage was a political vehicle for his own ends rather than accurate social hist…

This article argues that the commercial celebration of Christmas and children's reverence to Santa Claus became politically contentious during the Great Depression when well-established Christmas traditions were threatened by economic strife. Growing numbers of parents simply could not afford to fill their children's stockings. Santa Claus was easily recognisable as a religious and cultural figure but during the Depression era the potential polit…
The Transnational Defence of Mexican American Children's Rights in Depression-era California
This article is a comparative event study of a series of children’s rights disputes concerning the Mexican American community in California during the Great Depression. To stand up against abuses in reformatory schools, eugenic sterilisation and school segregation, Mexican Americans pursued a variety of strategies which reflected the dualities of Mexican American identities. These events demonstrate that Mexican origin struggles and advocacy for …
Accessing children’s historical experiences through their art
This article considers the potential for children’s drawings to be utilized more widely as documentary evidence by historians. Children remain seen but not heard in much of history, with a noted source problem hampering efforts to address this. Drawings are a different type of ambiguous evidence but there is a compelling case for their usage, partly demonstrated by various professional uses including the acceptance of children’s drawings as evide…
