Bibliography
General Note
The primary source for most of the material relating specifically to SDS—letters, internal memos, minutes of national meetings, NO files, "worklist" mailings, bulletins, and the likeis the SDS archives in the Wisconsin State Historical Society, Madison, Wisconsin; all references to "archives" indicate this source, and any material not otherwise specified as to source can be presumed to be found here. I cannot be more precise than "archives," however, for the material lies ajumble in more than seventy-five boxes and there is as yet no formal compilation of the contents; but I do have copies in my possession of most of the important documents from the archives and would be happy to share them with legitimate researchers. Some additional material, especially relating to the League for Industrial Democracy and the early years of SDS, is also available in the files of the Tamiment Institute Library of New York University in New York City.
Important sources for much of SDS's history are the SDS Bulletins, published from the fall of 1962 to the fall of 1965, copies of which can be found in some of the major university libraries as well as the archives; and the SDS newspaper, New Left Notes (NLN), files of which also exist in some of these libraries and in the Tamiment Library.
