Overview and metadata sections
The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) was set up in June 1917 as an outgrowth of and coordination point for the anti-war and relief activities of various bodies of the Religious Society of Friends in the United States. A co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1947, the AFSC continues to work to relieve human suffering and to find new approaches to world peace and non-violent social change.

Part 1 was reprocessed before 2020 in order to simplify the many series in the old arrangement and to remove files that came from the CPS camps and units. Part 1: Section I now contains administrative and program files, while the CPS camp/unit files are in Part 1: Section II.
It should be noted that the Covid-19 pandemic and other factors prohibited finishing the work needed, especially on Part 1: Section I. Most of that material is still in old 1940s folders and boxes(?). Some rearrangement of the material may still be necessary. Part 1: Section II was given greater attention and has been refoldered and reboxed, but most (all?) of the folders are still unlabeled.
Part 1: Section V was reprocessed in 2023.
Contact the Swarthmore College Peace Collection at peacecollection@swarthmore.edu for additional information.
The Swarthmore College Peace Collection is the official repository for these records.
Most of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) records are stored at the AFSC archives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Swarthmore College Peace Collection serves as the repository for AFSC files from the World War II Civilian Public Service and the Prison Service Committee. It also holds a small manuscript collection of additional miscellaneous material from the AFSC [CDG-A: American Friends Service Committee].
