Abstract:

Papers, primarily composed of correspondence, writings and notes, and reference materials and clippings, created and collected by a radical activist and former national officer of the Students for a Democratic Society. A variety of papers illustrate Webb's activities with SDS and its major projects from 1962 until 1967, and his involvement with the National Conference for New Politics (which he helped organize in 1964-65), and the Chicago Jobs or Income Now (JOIN) project, and as executive director of the 1967 Vietnam Summer effort. A major portion of the collection consists of subject files on labor unions, which were probably collected by Webb as background for a newsletter published in 1966 in Chicago. Also represented in the collection are several of Webb's writings, including drafts of SDS position papers and college term papers, with notes and associated reference materials.
