Guide to the Edward K. Barsky Papers, 1936-1970

Title: Guide to the Edward K. Barsky Papers, 1936-1970

Edward K. Barsky (1897-1975) was a prominent physician who led a group of American medical volunteers in Spain during the Civil War. After the war, he served as Chairman of the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee (JAFRC), an organization dedicated to aiding Spanish refugees and lobbying the U.S. leadership on behalf of the deposed Republican government. Barsky and the entire board of JAFRC were charged with contempt of Congress and convicted in June 1947 for refusing to turn over the group’s records. Barsky was sentenced to six months in prison. Following his release the New York Board of Regents moved to suspend his medical license, a decision that was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1954. These papers reflect Barsky’s humanitarian work on behalf of Spain and document the court cases that stemmed from these progressive activities.

The Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee (JAFRC) was formed in 1941 to supply humanitarian relief to refugees of the Spanish Civil War and to support “anti-fascist fighters trapped in Vichy France, and North Africa.” Citing harassment by the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the Subversive Activities Control Board and the Treasury Department, the board of JAFRC voted to disband in 1955. These records consist of documents related to the political concerns of the JAFRC, both domestically and abroad, and its fundraising activities.

Samplings of his correspondence and writings during that period are grouped under Personal papers.

His National Federation for Constitutional Liberties files are organized into 13 subseries: Administrative; Action Letters; Conferences and Testimonial Dinners; Activities, including an emergency campaign, The Menace of the F.B.I.," chaired by Franz Boas (1940), and a campaign in favor of federal legislation for a voting program for absentee soldiers; Fair Employment Practice Committee; Labor; Poll Tax; Legal Cases; Discrimination; Anti-Semitism; HUAC, which subdivides into Dies Committee and Rankin Committee files, Correspondence and Printed Matter; and Publications.

Outstanding case files include the Columbia, Tennessee Riot of 1946, the German Communist Gerhart Eisler, Willie McGee, the Martinsville 7 and the Trenton Six. Other organizations in the collection include the International Labor Defense Fund; the American League for Peace and Democracy; the American Committee for Democracy and Intellectual Freedom, chaired by Franz Boas; the National Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoners; the Contributors' Information Service founded by Corliss Lamont, and the Council on African Affairs. Correspondents include Joseph Gelders, Dashiell Hammett, Max Yergan, Charles Lafollette and Louis Burnham. The Robert Marshall Foundation awarded grants to trade-unions and labor advocacy groups, progressive research groups and schools, alternative newspapers and civil rights organizations.

Guide to the Daily Worker and Daily World Photographs Collection, 1920-2001

Title: Guide to the Daily Worker and Daily World Photographs Collection, 1920-2001

The official organ of the Communist Party, USA, the Daily Worker's editorial positions reflected the policies of the Communist Party. At the same time the paper also attempted to speak to the broad left-wing community in the United States that included labor, civil rights, and peace activists, with stories covering a wide range of events, organizations and individuals in the United States and around the world. As a daily newspaper, it covered the major stories of the twentieth century. However, the paper always placed an emphasis on radical social movements, social and economic conditions particularly in working class and minority communities, poverty, labor struggles, racial discrimination, right wing extremism with an emphasis on fascist and Nazi movements, and of course the Soviet Union and the world-wide Communist movement. The paper has had a succession of names and has been published in varying frequences between daily to weekly over the course of its existence. In 2010 it ceased print publication and became an electronic, online-only, weekly publication titled the People's World. The bulk of the collection consists of printed photographic images produced through a variety of processes, collected by the photography editors of the Daily Worker and its successor newspapers as a means of maintaining an organized collection of images for use in publication. Images of many important people, groups and events associated with the CPUSA and the American Left are present in the collection, as well as images of a wide variety of people, subjects and events not explicitly linked with the CPUSA or Left politics.

Landis, Arthur H., 1917-1986. Arthur H. Landis audiotape collection, 1963-1965, 1984.

Title: Arthur H. Landis audiotape collection, 1963-1965, 1984.

Landis provided vets with a demo tape (ALBA A 66-038) that "gave the outline structure of the book and a detailed explanation of his desire to give adequate attention to all phases of the war which Americans participated in, from ambulance drivers to the commando zealots." Further, Landis stressed: "material for taping [should] be put in chronological order to avoid a time-consuming play-back. We suggest you at least make notes before making the tape. Oh yes, tape at a speed of 3-1/4." Members were told that they could use their own tape recorders, or that VALB would loan out both recorder and tapes. The tapes were not professionally recorded, nor were the sessions conducted as conventional oral histories. Consequently, the sound quality varies tape to tape, and veterans at times do not identify themselves or provide many autobiographical details. The focus is on their day-by-day participation in the war. An additional box of 1/4 in. reel-to-reel tapes at the end of the collection (ALBA A 66-147 through ALBA A 66-163) contains miscellaneous reels not associated with the book project, several of which feature German singer Bart Van der Schelling singing songs of the Spanish Civil War. Van der Schelling is pictured with Paul Robeson and Arthur Landis, among others, in a photograph in the Arthur H. Landis Photo Collection.
