The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has throughout its history consistently stood at the center of controversies involving the rights of Americans. Its records offer researchers a unique view of the inner workings of the organization and the hundreds of groups with which the ACLU interacted. Covering the years from before the ACLU’s official founding in 1920 through the 20th century, this archive offers an array of primary source materials on some of the most important issues that affected the United States. Access to this resource is provided courtesy of the Georgetown University Law School.
Includes collections: Southern Regional Office Files, The Roger Baldwin Years, 1912-1950, and Years of Expansion, 1950-1990.
