Scope and Content Note

The collection, with the exception of the clippings, which had been previously filmed by the Historical Society, was microfilmed by Primary Source Media (an imprint of Gale and a part of Cengage Learning) in 2008 as part of the series America in Protest: Records of Anti-Vietnam War Organizations. The microfilm vendor assigned new folder numbers from 1 to 152 and did not use a frame counter. It also prepared a name and subject index that is keyed to the new microfilm folder numbers. A copy of this guide can be found in the SHSW Library (Pam 09-1361). The container list which follows incorporates both the box and folder numbers for the paper collection and the new folder numbers assigned by the microfilm publisher. The new folder numbers are designated with the initials MF (for microfilm folder) at the end of each line in the container list. The following chart converts the new folder numbers to the appropriate reel numbers.

The National Coordinating Committee to End the War in Vietnam Records are divided into three series: INTRA-ORGANIZATIONAL RECORDS, CORRESPONDENCE, and CLIPPINGS.

The INTRA-ORGANIZATIONAL RECORDS contain correspondence, fragmentary financial records, minutes, notes, proposals, and reports which pertain to the NCC's steering and standing committees, conferences sponsored by the NCC and other anti-war groups, reports of staff trips and meetings, and various projects such as the International Days of Protest. This section of the records provides revealing, but by no means complete, information about the NCC's operations and its internal disputes. The files of several conferences and staff meetings include summarized minutes, correspondence, planning material, and some lists of participants. Publications include rough drafts of articles, as well as drafts of several issues of Peace and Freedom News. Printed copies of the newsletter are available in the State Historical Society Library. There are also NCC leaflets, press releases, and some publications of the Research and Information Committee.

CORRESPONDENCE is divided into three sections: 1) foreign country files, with correspondence from both individuals and organizations arranged by nation and chronologically thereunder except for Canada, which is subdivided by city; 2) alphabetical files, from individuals in the United States, which are arranged by the first two letters of the correspondent's surname; and 3) locality files, from various anti-war groups throughout the United States arranged alphabetically by state, city, and organization. The vast majority of this correspondence concerns the national and international anti-war movement, though some touches on related topics such as civil rights, political elections, and disputes between various leftist and anti-war groups. A list of prominent correspondents is below.

CLIPPINGS, which were microfilmed by the Historical Society, predominantly document local involvement in the International Days of Protest. This material does not appear on the publication issued by Primary Source Media.
