Overview and metadata sections
The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was a national organization with chapters on college campuses around the United States. Their activities focused on advancing social justice movements like the civil rights movement, Women's liberation, and the anti-Vietnam War movement. Chapters also focused on local movements and advocacy. Princeton's chapter fought against military recruitment on campus and the University's relationship with the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA).
This collection contains personal records of Princeton's chapter from Tarlau, The New Left Notes newspaper, and subject files of local and national activist movements.
For preservation reasons, original analog and digital media may not be read or played back in the reading room. Users may visually inspect physical media but may not remove it from its enclosure. All analog audiovisual media must be digitized to preservation-quality standards prior to use. Audiovisual digitization requests are processed by an approved third-party vendor. Please note, the transfer time required can be as little as several weeks to as long as several months and there may be financial costs associated with the process. Requests should be directed through the Ask Us Form.
