Papers, 1968-1973. 1970-1971 (bulk).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/477254425

The importance of this collection lies in the kinds of records selected for retention and in their substantive content. These include records created during the period of heightened student activism, 1968-1971, by University administrative officers, by administrators at other universities and their supporters, and by student activist groups and their supporters at NYU and elsewhere. The collection is particularly useful for comparisons of administrative responses to student protests against the Vietnam War from educational institutions such as NYU, Princeton, Yale, and other organizations such as the ACLU and the American Council on Education. In addition, ephemera documenting gay liberation and women's rights events illuminates these two emerging movements at NYU and within Greenwich Village.
