Madison Veterans for Peace Records, 1967-1972

Scope and Content Note

The records consist of organizational material, publications publicizing the activities and goals of the organization, the records of the 1970 national convention held in Madison, miscellany, photographs, and emphemera. Among the organizational records is a five-page history, originally written as a handout, which outlines the goals and activities of the organization, 1967-1971. Correspondence, 1970-1972, appears incomplete, but includes some replies to peace-issue questionnaires sent to Wisconsin candidates for political office. Among the publications are form letters to veterans describing the organization, open letters to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, tabulated results of the peace questionnaires, posters protesting war toys, announcements of activities, and a leaflet of questions about Madison Veterans for Peace.
