The arrangement and description of 1,543 linear feet of periodicals (over 9,000 titles) published by organizations associated with social reform and protest movements during the latter half of the 20th century.

This project is to provide bibliographic access for students, scholars, and the general public to a broad collection of serials in New York University's Tamiment Library. The serials mostly cover the period of 1950-2000 and encompass a broad number of movements for social reform that arose out of the social milieu of the period of postwar United States and the Civil Rights Movement.
