Records of the New American Movement, a mass-based democratic socialist movement organized in November 1971 following the splintering of the New Left at the last convention of Students for a Democratic Society in July 1969. The collection is arranged into national organization and chapter records, most of which are near-print. National Organization records include clippings documenting NAM's first national meeting in Davenport, Iowa, in November 1971, material from early chapter organizing workshops, and annual national convention records, through 1978. Other national records consist of topical files on health care and workplace organizing; and NAM literature, flyers, position papers, and proposals. There is a small file of position papers and newsletters of the Marxist-Leninist Organizing Caucus, a political tendency within NAM. Chapter Records illustrate the local emphasis of NAM's activities and interrelationships with other groups. There are records of the Athens, Ohio, Bay Area (BANAM), Berkeley-Oakland, Chicago, Cleveland, East Bay, and Pittsburgh chapters; and a few records of the East Bay (California) Socialist School and the Mass Intermediate Socialist Organization, San Francisco.
