The collection consists of papers from 1940-1942 collected by Morris B. Stanley, Emory University graduate student interested in the U.S. isolationist movement. They pertain to the America First Committee from 1940-1942. The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence between Stanley and leading Committee members and other active members of the non interventionist movement, including Harry Byrd, D. Worth Clark, James Fallon, Gerald P. Nye, Robert R. Reynolds, and Charles W. Tobey. The collection also contains copies of the Congressional Record; printed material regarding the organization; America First Committee reports; a box of research notes probably compiled by Stanley; and printed material by the Friends of Democracy, an organization opposed to the efforts of the America First Committee.
