AFSC Information Prepared by L.M. Thruston
Scope and Contents
The American Friends Service Association collection includes correspondence, meeting minutes, reports of AFSC intervention overseas, various AFSC pamphlets and booklets, and other publications. Dates range from mid-1920s to the late 1970s. The original organization for the collection has been kept with a few exceptions. Upon receiving the collection, mold was discovered and most of the documents had to be scanned onto clean paper. All of these files have remained in the same folder and organization scheme. A box of publications, including pamphlets, informational handouts, and annual reports, was free of mold, but lacked an organizational scheme. This box has been divided into folders including pamphlets, annual reports, AFSC booklets, and publications/advertisements. Box 1- The collection consists of a small amount of American Friends Service Committee material focusing on civil rights in the American South. The material includes correspondence, legal defense documents, participants list, and other organizational material. Box 2- Pamphlets, staff and committee members, by-laws, publications, and advertisements are included in this box. Box 3- This box contains annual reports, conferences, miscellaneous notes for years 1926-1929, service and peace reports, and financial documents.
