Cooperation between the war council offices and state agencies (such as the State Education Department and the Office of Defense Health and Welfare Services) and other organizations (such as the Recreation Association and the Red Cross) was essential for maximum effectiveness. This series contains correspondence and publications which facilitated exchange of information and coordination of programs.
Some of the subjects covered include: education; national defense; recreation; health (Red Cross); and veterans. In Box 2, folder 27 contains an "Official Index to OCD Publications."
