Scrapbook 7, 1990-1992

The Red River Valley Peace Workers Records consist of newsletters and a series of scrapbooks, 1982-1989, containing newspaper clippings, correspondence, programs of events, and photographs. The newsletter "Red River Valley Peace Workers" began with the February/March 1983 issue. Initially it was a bimonthly publication, but by the late 1980s, it was published sporadically. The June 1989 issue contained a plea for donations. The "NDPC North Dakota Peace Coalition" was a quarterly newsletter published by the Red River Valley Peace Workers and the Fargo-Moorhead Peace Workers, two of the sixteen members of the NDPC. It was first published in April 1985. The collection has issues of this newsletter through July 1988. Newspaper clippings in the scrapbooks are primarily from the Grand Forks Herald and the Dakota Student. They describe activities and opinions of the organization and issues of concern. The correspondence is primarily letters written by Rev. Walter Scott to local, state, and national politicians. Programs of events indicate the organization's planned activities, such as conferences, 4th of July picnics, speakers for meetings, fundraisers, etc. The scrapbooks also contain numerous color photographs of group members at sponsored events and meetings. The majority of the photographs are unlabelled. The first addition to the Red River Valley Peace Workers Records consists of a scrapbook, 1990-1992, containing bulletins and newspaper clippings. The second addition contains a poster titled "Peace Garden?: A Citizen's Action Guide to the Missile Silos of North Dakota." The poster was sponsored by the North Dakota Peace Coalition, and published by Nukewatch of Madison, Wisconsin. The poster has a copyright date of 1986.
