American Radicalism Vertical File

The ARVF is a large and growing collection of pamphlets, leaflets, clippings, and other material on a wide range of over 2,300 subjects. It is especially strong in the New Left (primarily Students for a Democratic Society), the Vietnam War era, and materials relating to contemporary issues. A sample listing of subject area file titles includes: American Christian Cause, Birth Control, Jesse Jackson, John Birch Society, Labor Youth League, Communes, Klanwatch, Lesbian Mothers, Dignity, Women Against Pornography, Solar Energy, White Supremacist Movements, and Zero Population Growth. There are also extensive files from the Peace Education Center of East Lansing.
