SERIES A: ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS OF THE NATIONAL OFFICE

OF SANE (New York, NY), 1957-1970 [27 boxes]

Arrangement

This series consists of various types of administrative records covering the period 1957 to 1970. Arrangement is by type of material, then chronological. Many of the folders probably originated in the files of the National Office, but additional items have been added to some folders to fill apparent gaps. Boxes 10 through 11b (literature and releases) have been reorganized several times in order to accommodate additional material and to try to clarify the arrangement. Some of the boxes have been consolidated in order to save shelf space (e.g., Box 6 and Box 7 are now in one box labelled Box 6&7).
