The series consists of the state project files of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) from 1960-1968. Includes correspondence, field reports, press memoranda, and newspaper clippings. Major project areas covered in these files are Lowndes County (Ala.), Selma (Ala.), and Mississippi. Especially well-documented is the 1964 Mississippi Summer Project, which, for the first time, involved numbers of white volunteers from the northern states. Other important activities documented include very early SNCC work in southwest Georgia, especially in Albany and Americus, and the 1966 disturbance in Atlanta (Ga.).
