Digital Collections

Citizens Committee for Peace with Freedom in Vietnam records: Douglas, Paul H., 1967-1973: Correspondence, statements, press releases, pamphlets, lists, financial records, and printed matter relating to the Vietnam War.

Commonwealth Club of California records: A New Strategy for Peace: United States Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey proposes new peace initiatives, including the continued encouragement of regional cooperation, avoidance of unilateral involvement wherever possible, and selective U.S. involvement. He pledges to do everything in his power to use international peacekeeping forces rather than American soldiers in troubled areas. This is a long-term strategy requiring work over many years.

Conference on Peace Research, Education and Development proceedings: Panel: Reports from World Peace Research: Panelists discuss topics of global change, research on peace law, disjunctions and dilemmas of feminism and pacifism, and the status and problems of the U.S. Institute of Peace.  

Firing Line broadcast records: Is Peace Possible in the Mideast?: In the aftermath of the Gulf War, Secretary of State James Baker had decided to bring peace to the Middle East. Somehow, though, the Israelis and Arabs didn't have his Nobel Prize at the top of their agenda. In an amazingly civil discussion of this always highly charged topic, Mrs. Hauser and Mr. Pipes both explain and illustrate why it is so difficult.
