Abstract:
Records of a Madison, Wisconsin organization established in 1966 to organize and promote local draft resistance, draft counseling, and anti-war activity during the Vietnam War era. The records consist of administrative reports and minutes of the Madison and Chicago regional offices, publicity and outreach material, subject files, and papers on local programs. The collection primarily documents the conscientious objection program, but there are also files on community and state relations, youth programs, national and international service organizations, and cooperation with groups such as the Friends of AFSC (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Peaceful Alternatives Through Non-Violent Action (PATNA), an AFSC program initiated by Paul Fleer that later became independent. The conscientious objection files consist of records on some individuals whom AFSC counseled, together with information on the Wisconsin Project and other local draft-counseling efforts.
