This subseries appears to be incomplete. Apparently, the intent was to arrange the correspondence in alphabetical order once all of the 1965-1966 correspondence had been received by the Peace Collection. Because not all of the 1966 correspondence is here, this alphabetization has not been done. The first 3 folders are in alphabetical order; the remainder is in rough chronological order]

Series H is an artificially created series containing correspondence of two Executive Directors (Sanford Gottlieb, 1971-1976 and David Cortright, 1977-1987) and of several other staff members. Most of these files were formerly placed in Series G but were moved here to bring together folders containing predominantly correspondence. However, there are many folders in Series G which contain correspondence together with related materials such as memoranda, notes, clippings, and reference material. Some of that correspondence may be duplicated here. Also, as previously noted, there are some folders of correspondence in Series E which contain material after 1970. Researchers should realize that the correspondence in Series H is probably not complete for the period 1971-1987; there are several other series (particularly Series G) in which correspondence dating from this period will be found.
The correspondence of Sanford Gottlieb is arranged by year and then by topics similar to those used in Series E, Section #5 (see above). The items within folders are in the order in which they were found (very rough reverse chronological order). These folders came from several accessions but were placed here to bring together Gottlieb's correspondence from the period after the Washington Office of SANE became the National Office.
At the end of Box 4 is a small amount of correspondence (carbons and photocopies) of letters sent to (but not addressed to) Homer A. Jack, a member of the SANE Board of Directors and, later, the National Advisory Council. These letters are in chronological order. They came to the Peace Collection with minutes and other SANE materials collected by Homer Jack, most of which were filed into Series A or Series G to fill gaps or were discarded as duplicates.
The correspondence of Victor Lloyd, 1975-1977, is alphabetically arranged.
Correspondence, arranged by states, ca. 1974-1981, is a continuation of the correspondence filed in Series E, Section #6, Boxes 19-32. Span dates vary by state, but the bulk of the material dates from the period 1974-1981. The continuation of this type of correspondence is in Series G, State Files, Boxes 183-203.
The correspondence of David Cortright is from two accessions. Both are arranged chronologically. In the period 1977 to 1980, letters sent and letters received are in separate folders. From 1981-1987, incoming and outgoing correspondence are interfiled by date in one chronological sequence. Replies are not necessarily attached to the letters to which they are a response. Several folders on specific topics are filed here because they were found in the same accession and there was no other logical place to put them.
NOTE: Additional correspondence for the period 1971-1987 will be found throughout Series G in files arranged by subject and in the files of various staff members.

Series I consists of records of the New York SANE Council and of local chapters in the New York area. The bulk of this material came to SCPC in two accessions in November 1979. There was no discernible order to the files. The arrangement which evolved during processing is basically chronological. Certain types of material (e.g., minutes, newsletters, records pertaining to Stars for SANE) have been pulled together, then arranged chronologically. Within the overall chronology are administrative files for several different time periods. These were arranged either alphabetically or chronologically depending on what seemed to work best for that group of material. To reduce duplication, printed, mimeographed and photocopied items from National SANE have been removed from the files of New York SANE. Such items will be found in Series A and in Series G.
Physical Description26 boxes
Series J is an artificially compiled series containing records of several SANE regional organizations and local branches which have been received from individuals active in these groups.
One box contains records (1959-1974) of the Greater Philadelphia Council of SANE and of the Northwest Philadelphia chapter of SANE. The material was received from Thomas J. McConkey, chair of the Northwest Philadelphia chapter from 1961 to 1967. The material is arranged by organizational origin, type, and date. Additional material on Philadelphia SANE will also be found in the papers of Abraham Egnal (DG 136). Scattered items from other sources (mainly releases and clippings) have been added to Series J, Box 1.
The files of Mary Clarke relating to SANE activities in southern California came from her files on Women Strike for Peace (see DG 115). Two fat folders labelled "SANE" have been resorted by organizational origin and by type of material. Within each folder, material is in chronological order. Also in this series are three folders of material from Arthur Springer, a SANE member in the Boston area. Material is arranged in chronological order. Three folders on SANE/Alaska, 1987-1988, are also in chronological order.
In order to reduce duplication, all printed and mimeographed material issued by National SANE has been removed from these files. Some of these items have been refiled elsewhere in DG 58 to make the files of National SANE as complete as possible.
Records of New York SANE Council and of local New York chapters are filed in DG 58, Series I. The Peace Collection is the repository for the records of New Jersey SANE. These records are filed in a separate document group, DG 132.
Please note that there is also material on SANE regional organizations and local chapters in the files of the national offices. Consult the Checklists for Series A, B, E, G and H for the location of such material.

Series K contains materials relating to the campaign against the MX missile (ca. 1978-1985) by SANE and other organizations. Included are the MX files of SANE staff members David Cortright, Mike Mawby, and Marilyn McNabb. Records of the National Campaign to Stop the MX (1981-1984) and a few information packets from the Coalition to Stop the MX (1984-1985) are also in this series. When processing began, it was thought that the files of the National Campaign to Stop the MX would be in a separate series, or even in a separate document group. This proved to be difficult because the files were inter-mixed when they arrived in the Peace Collection and because it appeared that, after 1981, many files were shared by both SANE and the National Campaign. In addition, Mike Mawby was on the staff of both organizations.
An initial processing plan of keeping each accession separate also proved to be impractical. There has been some consolidation of accessions in order to bring similar materials together and to reduce duplication. Accession numbers are noted on the folders.
The basic arrangement of Series K is by provenance and chronological. The files of SANE and of the National Campaign to Stop the MX have been kept separate as much as possible, and the files of each staff member involved in MX work have been kept together. Boxes 1-17 contain the files of SANE and of SANE staff members David Cortright, Mike Mawby, and Marilyn McNabb. These boxes cover the period 1978-1983. Boxes 18-32 contain files of the National Campaign to Stop the MX and of National Campaign staff members Chad Dobson, April Moore, and Mike Mawby. The National Campaign to Stop the MX was active from early 1981 to mid-1984. However, many of the files contain material dating from before or after this three-year period. Files on other organizations, reference material (including government publications), and newspaper clippings are at the end of Series K.
Although the overall arrangement is chronological, there are some sections that seemed to fall naturally into alphabetical order (e.g., several sections of Subject Files and the files on Organizations in Boxes 34-36). An alphabetical list of subjects in SANE's MX files (as of ca. 1979-1981) was found in David Cortright's files (see folder 1 of Box 7). Although it was not possible to re-assemble this file, many of the subjects listed appear as folder headings in Boxes 8, 15-16, and 20-26. Within the folders, many have been left in the order in which they were found (usually in rough reverse chronological order). Some folders have been processed more thoroughly and have been arranged in chronological order.
Series L contains records found in several accessions. Included here are files of several staff members who worked on SANE PAC activities (primarily Mike Mawby, Laurie Duker, and Jerry Hartz). Although SANE PAC was a separately incorporated entity and was funded separately, the work was carried out by SANE, Inc. staff members.
Material about SANE PAC and about elections in general is at the beginning of the Series. The basic arrangement is chronological. Within each election year, files on candidates are in alphabetical order.
Although most of the files relating to SANE PAC have been pulled together in this series there are also materials on SANE PAC in Series G, Series H, and Series N. The State Files at the end of Series G contain a lot of material on elections, including those where SANE PAC supported one of the candidates.
The records of the Arms Control Computer Network came to the Peace Collection in one accession. Board minutes and general information about ACCN are at the beginning of the Series. Files of each coordinator are kept together, as are financial records and material relating to the Arms Control Legislative Alerts sent in 1985-1986. Within each of these groupings, files are in rough chronological order. A section of files on the participating organizations is in alphabetical order.
Most of the records in Series N came to the Peace Collection in two 1991 accessions. Additional material on SANE Canvass found in other accessions (especially 86A-68 and 93A-39) has been added.
A great deal of the material in this Series was found unfiled, and many items were undated. To a greater extent than is true of other series in DG 58, the arrangement of the material has been imposed by the SCPC processor. Folders which contain material found loose in the files are marked by an * in the checklist. Similar kinds of material have been grouped together. When files could be identified as having been kept by a particular staff member, they are identified as such and are grouped accordingly. Within these categories, the arrangement is basically chronological, one exception being files on Local Canvass Offices, which are in alphabetical order. The material in Box 13 from the 1993 accession came to SCPC after the rest of the Series had been processed. Rather than reorganizing the earlier material, it was decided to simply add this material at the end of the Series. All folders marked * contain material that was found loose in the files. Material was organized by SCPC processor. Some items may be duplicated in other folders. Additional Canvass memos (December 1982-January 1985), training materials (1979-1987), reports of local Canvass offices, and information on the Women's Caucus are available in Box 13.
Boxes 2-5 and 7-8 are primarily files of Peter Deccy, National Canvass Co-Director Canvass abbreviations: NCD = National Canvass Director NSA = Network Support and Administration NST = Network Support Team RCD = Regional Canvass Director NFO = National Field Organizer CMG = Canvass Monitoring Group CD = Canvass Director FM = Field Manager OM = Office Manager
The Peace Collection has a large amount of audio-visual material in various formats relating to SANE. Some items were published or produced by the organization; others are materials which were collected and used by SANE staff members.
Some of the audio-visual material has been cataloged by SCPC staff and will be found by using Tripod, the card catalog, or special lists of audio-visual material. Additional material, much of which came to SCPC in the early 1990s, has not yet been cataloged but is available for use by researchers. This listing is an attempt to pull together in one place the information on SANE A-V material.
This list is divided into the following sections:
Videotapes
Films and filmstrips Slide sets and multi-media kits Sound disc recordings Audiocassettes and reel-to-reel tapes Lists of material in various formats Computer diskettes
NOTE: Photographs are listed in Series D and are shelved with the SCPC Photograph Collection.
This series consists of material removed from a set of notebooks kept in the SANE National Office. Each notebook contained SANE publications, releases, reports, minutes, etc., arranged in chronological order. Additional copies of some items may be available elsewhere in DG 58. The notebooks toward the end of the sequence are less complete than the earlier ones.
The Logbook for 1982-1987 came to SCPC in a later accession from the earlier ones, and the nature of the material is somewhat different. Materials are filed in chronological order.
[Logbooks], 1982-1987 [NOTE: The notebook from which the 1982-1987 materials were taken came in a later accession. It was not actually called a "Logbook" but was filed here because it continues the chronological sequence. Included are copies of mailings sent to Rapid Response Network coordinators and other local SANE activists]
