Historical /Biographical Sketch: Thelma Flanagan was involved in nutrition programs in the State of Florida from the 1930s until her death in 2001. She was also a strong advocate of the national drive for professionalism in food services. She became the Florida School Food Service Director in 1943, served as school lunch consultant to the USDA; was President of the American School Food Service Assoc.; Chairman of the Southern States Work Conference Committee and was the author of numerous publications regarding school feeding programs. Mrs. Flanagan’s collection begins with the WPA and the food distribution systems put into place to relieve the very real nutrition issues resulting from the Great Depression. The collection documents the history of Florida’s state initiatives in the area of child nutrition and the growth of the school lunch program as a key portion of that effort. The evolution of the school food service director from school cook to nutritional director is also reflected in the collection – both in the accountability required by the state (as shown in the Florida state manuals and guidelines, standards and evaluations) and in the journals and publications. See the Thelma Flanagan Oral History Interview.

Scope and Content: The collection is divided into several series including clippings; correspondence speeches and drafts; documents from the Florida Department of Education; printed materials from various state education departments, misc. printed materials/publications; printed materials/publications from the USDA and ADA; and photographs.
