Overview and metadata sections

Plaks, Livia

Livia Plaks was a co-founder of the Princeton-based Project on Ethnic Relations (PER) and executive director. Plaks was a graduate of Douglas College (Rutgers University) and New York University, where she earned a Master's degree in Russian Literature. During her years with PER, she was a key player in mediating ethnic disputes in her native Romania, as well as in several other countries in Eastern and Southeastern Europe. She was awarded the Order of Merit by the president of Romania in recognition of her work.

This collection includes publications, correspondence, subject files and photographs created by Livia Plaks relating to the Project on Ethnic Relations.

The order in which these materials came to Princeton has been maintained.

These papers were a gift of Andrew Plaks in 2013. The accession numbers associated with this gift are ML.2013.007 and ML.2013.012.

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.

This collection came as two separate accessions. A collection-level finding aid and file list were created in April 2013 for the first accession. Photographs, which came in May 2013, were removed from photo albums, housed in archival boxes, and described in the finding aid. This work was done by Maureen Callahan and Dennisse Calle '16.

No materials were separated from this collection at the time of accessioning.
