National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Region I records, 1942-1986 (bulk 1945-1977).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81346807

The Records of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Region I document the daily work of the NAACP in the Western United States from 1942-1986 (bulk 1945-1977). Regular additions to the collection are expected. Although the Region initially consisted of four states and grew to include nine, the bulk of the collection documents the work of the Region I Office in California, particularly in regard to statewide legislation. One of the most comprehensive record series is that of Branch Files, which contains documentation of the work of local (usually citywide) branches throughout the Region. The work of Regional Directors Noah W. Griffin, Franklin Williams, Tarea Hall Pittman, Leonard H. Carter, and Virna M. Canson is especially well represented within the collection.

Originals : 108 cartons, 2 boxes, 6 oversize folders, and 1 oversize box (135.8 linear ft.)Copy of Scrapbook of Newspaper clippings, 1966-1967, compiled by Region I office of the NAACP : 1 microfilm reel : negative (BNEG Box 3148) and positive.
