Abstract:
Collected records issued by the American Civil Liberties Union, a non-partisan organization dedicated to safeguarding the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Founded in 1920 in New York City, the ACLU concentrates on assuring equal protection under law without discrimination, due process of law, and opposing repressive legislation. The collection includes ACLU administrative records, primarily printed items distributed to chapter and affiliate officers, and a subject file of printed policy statements, memos, and reports. There is little original or typewritten material present. The majority of items date from 1953-1959, and from the early 1970's, with major gaps in material from the 1930's, 1940's, and 1960's.
