About the Oral History of Palliative Social Work Project

Purpose: Capture the Legacy of the Palliative Social Work Specialty.

Our goal is to build an anthology of interviews with architects who created the specialty and with many who advanced essential aspects of Palliative Social Work such as certification and fellowship development to document its rich legacy. 

Process: We intend to record this history with audio/video interviews to capture the words of those who were instrumental in building our specialty. 

Our intention is to share these interviews, along with other resources and historical documents on this website. which is available to the public.

The project is not affiliated with any organization
