Manuscript Collections in the Swarthmore College Peace
Collection That Relate to Conscientious Objection
[Not A Complete List]

 

Note: The collections called Document Groups (DGs) are those records of groups and papers of individuals for which the SCPC is the official depository; all other material has been collected into CDGAs [United States] or CDGBs [foreign]. The designation "Absolutist" refers to those men in WWI or after who went to prison rather than join the military, cooperate with it in any way, or participate in alternative service
