The National Student Convention '88, Records, 1983-1992, 1987-1988 (bulk).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/767568226

This collection contains correspondence, minutes, newsletters, newspaper clippings, pamphlets, press releases, publicity, and reports related to student activism at Rutgers in the 1980s, specifically the planning and implementation of the National Student Convention in 1988. Additional material includes a small photograph series, several t-shirts, a hat, a banner and several buttons pertaining to the issues student activists were addressing at this time. The textual material is arranged in seven series. The first five series are directly related to the National Student Convention '88, and are arranged chronologically. The Christine Kelly Papers and Activist Literature from Other Organizations and Universities series, which are supplemental to the files directly pertaining to the National Student Convention, are the final two series of the collection. Within each series files are arranged alphabetically by subject. The collection consists of 6 manuscript boxes and a box of paraphernalia relating to student activism in the 1980s. While the material in the collection spans the years 1983-1992, the bulk of the collection covers the years 1987-1989. The collection, donated by Rutgers student activist, Christine Kelly, is comprised of much of Christine Kelly's records of events during her time at Rutgers and involvement with student activism and the National Student Convention '88.
