Hi, Carol (cc. Rob and Danielle). Thank you! It may be possible for someone to come pick them up, but I doubt it could be organized so quickly. The number of staff available to do this kind of thing is very limited, and I imagine it would probably need to be combined with another trip. Are you feeling eager to get them out of your house as soon as possible, or do you have time flexibility?

Thanks,

Sigrid

Hi Sigrid,

I'm happy to give my materials a good home. Would it be possible for someone to pick them up at my house in Brookline? I am around all this weekend but then away from the 10th to the 17th.

Carol

Dear Carol and others,

Last April when we held the Science for the People conference at UMass, we put out a call for people to donate documents related to SftP's history to an archival collection we're building at UMass. We have a good kernel of materials, and I hope you and others will consider helping it grow so that activists and researchers can have access to these important materials. UMass has built an extraordinary collection of archives related to movements for social change, built on the papers of W. E. B. Du Bois. You can check it out here:

Please let me know if I can help you arrange donating your materials to the collection here.

Thank you!

Yes! Many from the early 70s and also some paper minutes position papers miscellaneous stuff from around that time when I was office manager at the magazine. 

I've been wanting to move this pile to the right hands for years so I'd be happy to donate the whole lot to the new Science for the People. Let's arrange a handoff soon. Thanks. Carol Axelrod

We are looking for as complete a set as possible of the SftP magazines to have at a table at the Appalachian Studies Conference later this month.

I know they are available online, but they want physical copies for the table.
