Collected Document Group: Category C, 2007- ; undated (inclusive)

Extent:

1 linear ft. (1.5 boxes)

Abstract:

Collected Document Groups (CDGs) are collections for which the Swarthmore College Peace Collection has only some material from the organizations and individuals, collected by various entities through the years. In a small number of cases, the SCPC is the official repository for a CDG, but it was not given Document Group (DG) status because of the limited amount of material, or because it does not reflect the donor's full activities. CDG-C was established in June 2001 to include groups that seem to have no set office location, but change their address with every new leader, or because of other circumstances do not have a clear designation as a CDG-A or CDG-B.
