Many files in this collection belonged in the National Campaign for a Peace Tax Fund Records (DG 155) and were removed there. The rest was sorted by type. Scores of newsletters were found in the files, especially in the state/local folders, and were removed. Instead of putting a removal form in place of every newsletter, a list of the newsletters was made and is available in box 1.
The Swarthmore College Peace Collection is the official repository for these papers/records.
