Abstract:

Marion Coddington Bromley and Ernest Bromley were active members of the Society of Friends, absolute pacifists, war tax resisters, and worked for racial integration in the United States. They are best remembered as founders of the Peacemakers, and as war tax resisters.

Marion Coddington Bromley (1912 or 1913 - January 21, 1996) and Ernest Bromley (March 14, 1912 - December 17, 1997) were active members of the Society of Friends. They were absolute pacifists, war-tax resisters, worked for racial integration in the United States, and were among the founders of the Peacemakers group.

Contains material covering the lives and political activism of Ernest and Marion Bromley.

All of the files of the Bromleys and the Peacemakers were processed in the summer of 2015. Most of the administrative and printed material from the Peacemakers was removed to a CDG-A by that name. Peacemakers correspondence may be found in the Bromley papers, however, as part of Ernest's letters sent and receive. The rest of the Bromley collection was sorted according to whether it was by or about Ernest Bromley alone, by or about Marion Coddington Bromley alone, by or about the two of them as a married couple engaged together in various activities and campaigns, by or about their extended family and their children, and reference material.
