SERIES H: RECORDS OF THE NATIONAL OFFICE OF SANE

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) -- CORRESPONDENCE, 1971-1987 [17 boxes]

Arrangement
Series H is an artificially created series containing correspondence of two Executive Directors (Sanford Gottlieb, 1971-1976 and David Cortright, 1977-1987) and of several other staff members. Most of these files were formerly placed in Series G but were moved here to bring together folders containing predominantly correspondence. However, there are many folders in Series G which contain correspondence together with related materials such as memoranda, notes, clippings, and reference material. Some of that correspondence may be duplicated here. Also, as previously noted, there are some folders of correspondence in Series E which contain material after 1970. Researchers should realize that the correspondence in Series H is probably not complete for the period 1971-1987; there are several other series (particularly Series G) in which correspondence dating from this period will be found.

The correspondence of Sanford Gottlieb is arranged by year and then by topics similar to those used in Series E, Section #5 (see above). The items within folders are in the order in which they were found (very rough reverse chronological order). These folders came from several accessions but were placed here to bring together Gottlieb's correspondence from the period after the Washington Office of SANE became the National Office.

At the end of Box 4 is a small amount of correspondence (carbons and photocopies) of letters sent to (but not addressed to) Homer A. Jack, a member of the SANE Board of Directors and, later, the National Advisory Council. These letters are in chronological order. They came to the Peace Collection with minutes and other SANE materials collected by Homer Jack, most of which were filed into Series A or Series G to fill gaps or were discarded as duplicates.

The correspondence of Victor Lloyd, 1975-1977, is alphabetically arranged.

Correspondence, arranged by states, ca. 1974-1981, is a continuation of the correspondence filed in Series E, Section #6, Boxes 19-32. Span dates vary by state, but the bulk of the material dates from the period 1974-1981. The continuation of this type of correspondence is in Series G, State Files, Boxes 183-203.

The correspondence of David Cortright is from two accessions. Both are arranged chronologically. In the period 1977 to 1980, letters sent and letters received are in separate folders. From 1981-1987, incoming and outgoing correspondence are interfiled by date in one chronological sequence. Replies are not necessarily attached to the letters to which they are a response. Several folders on specific topics are filed here because they were found in the same accession and there was no other logical place to put them. NOTE: Additional correspondence for the period 1971-1987 will be found throughout Series G in files arranged by subject and in the files of various staff members.
