Subseries: 2B: The Economic Research and Action Project (ERAP)
Scope and Content Note: Subseries 2B contains 14 boxes of ERAP papers relating to meetings, publications, projects of national and local scope, office files, and related groups. The folder on ERAP meetings, 1964, has correspondence, minutes, and notes relating to intra-ERAP matters and community organizing. The ERAP publications, 1964-1965, contain questionnaires, reports, and work-lists which primarily deal with ERAP community projects and staff problems. The national ERAP projects, 1962-1965, include information on several conferences on poverty, fundraising, legal aid, institutes, newsletters, reports, and other miscellaneous documents. The office files have substantial quantities of correspondence pertaining to inquiries about SDS and ERAP as well as applications to join these two organizations. The files on related groups consist of correspondence, clippings, handbills, and reports; these files document the economic and political relationships between ERAP/SDS and these other organizations, joint conferences and projects, and other topics. There is also a folder of miscellaneous ERAP papers.
