Pastora San Juan Cafferty became Professor Emerita of University of Chicago since June 2005.

She also served as a Research Associate and Senior Study Director with the National Opinion Research Center, and was among the faculty of the Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago. Her work focuses on issues of race and ethnicity in the United States.
The collection spans the years 1919 – 1982, with the bulk of the material from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The materials reflect Cafferty’s involvement with urban policy planning in and around Chicago as well as her participation in the evolution of the School of Social Service Administration at University of Chicago from its origination in 1919 as the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy. The largest portion of the collection comprises Cafferty’s teaching materials, including course syllabi, class handouts and reading lists. Also included are urban planning policy materials, and archival material from alumnae of the School of Social Service Administration. The collection has been arranged into five series.
Series I, Teaching Materials includes correspondence, syllabi, reading lists, handouts, course assignments, examinations, student papers, and student and internship documentation.
Series II, Urban Policy Planning Material, contains material related to Cafferty’s involvement with the National Opinion Research Center and other organizations in Chicago, as well as the dealings of the School of Social Service Administration with various organizations and foundations including correspondence, proposals, progress reports, and surveys. The series also contains finalized reports on Chicago urban planning projects.
Series III, School of Social Service Administration Materials, contains various materials and ephemera on the creation and documentation of the SSA from its inception in 1919 as the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy to its active alumni apparatus.
