A Bibliography of Social Surveys is an extensive and meticulously organized catalog of fact-finding studies conducted in the United States during the early 20th century. Compiled by Allen Eaton and Shelby M. Harrison, this seminal reference work serves as a foundational resource for understanding the evolution of social research and its application toward practical social action. The volume is thoughtfully arranged by both subject matter and locality, allowing researchers to trace the development of community-based investigations into public health, education, labor conditions, and urban planning.

By documenting thousands of individual surveys and reports, the authors highlight the growing importance of systematic data collection in addressing the complex social challenges of a rapidly changing society. Each entry reflects a commitment to using empirical evidence as a basis for informed civic improvement and policy reform. This work is an invaluable tool for historians of sociology, urban studies, and social work, offering a clear window into the methodologies and priorities of the social survey movement. It stands as a testament to the rigorous efforts of early social scientists to map the human landscape and drive meaningful societal change through knowledge and organization.
