Abstract:
The Gerald Marwell research papers include various documents from Marwell's Volunteers for Civil Rights research project. The project involved extensive interviews with various participants in civil rights work throughout the 1960s including Freedom School volunteers who traveled to Mississippi in the summer of 1964 and members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), and the Summer Community Organization and Political Education (SCOPE) project. Marwell's research concerned the motivations and experiences of volunteers for these groups and projects. He became professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1962 and remained there until his retirement in 2000. Documents in the collection include various interviews, encodings, project planning documents, and correspondence as well as some publications related to the project.
