Overview and metadata sections
The Princeton University Archives launched the Archiving Student Activism at Princeton (ASAP) initiative in December of 2015 to collect and preserve individual and organizational records created by Princeton students who engage in activism on a broad range of issues and perspectives, both on campus and off. This collection contains records submitted by five of the nearly twenty student organizations that participated in the initiative. The records in this collection document a range of political and social issues, including sexual assault, gender equality, immigration, refugee crises (Syria), racism and anti-racism. See individual series descriptions for more information about each group of records.
The collection is arranged by the name of the organization that transferred records to the University Archives.
This collection was assembled by the University Archives from five separate accessions received during the spring of 2016 as part of the Archiving Student Activism at Princeton (ASAP) initiative: AR.2016.023 (SpeakOut), AR.2016.024 (United Left), AR.2016.028 (Open Campus Coalition), AR.2016.030 (Students for Gender Equality), and AR.2016.034 (Muslim Advocates for Social Justice and Individual Dignity).
