Abstract:

Records of the Student Peace Union, a national organization of students and youth (1959-1964) opposed to the nuclear arms race that bridged the gap between the “old peace movement” and the opposition to the war in Vietnam. Included are minutes, convention papers, correspondence, publications, miscellaneous local records, and miscellany. Both the collection as a whole, and the correspondence which comprises two-thirds of the collection, are most complete for the period 1961 through 1963. Subjects treated range from routine communications with local chapters to exchanges over policy with many of the individuals and organizations then most important in the peace movement.
