Subseries F. Subject Files, 1957-1981

Physical Description: 1 legal box

Scope and Content Note

This subseries includes files on a variety of subjects and activities including information on outside organizations similar to the materials found in the Office Files series but with less clear provenance. Of special interest are two Amicus Curiae Briefs filed by the CDC. Joel Fort vs. Civil Service Commission of Alameda supports county employee Fort's right to do volunteer work for a partisan campaign. Philip Adams, Edward Napier Thomas and Roland Adickes vs. Edmund G. Brown & Franklin M. Jordan provides suggestions on the proper apportionment of State Senate Districts for the 1966 elections and supplies a suggested Reapportionment Plan. Also of note are a file on the introduction of the Votronic Electronic Voting Machines, and an essay An Appeal to Reason to My Fellow Citizens written by an 72 year-old citizen who explains his opinions on the issues of the current (1968) presidential election and explains why he has finally decided to support Hubert Humphrey. The author of a folder of handwritten and typed notes on political issues is unidentified, but was probably written by Saul Reider. The subseries is arranged alphabetically.

Series 3. Committees and Caucuses, 1955-1981

Physical Description: 5 boxes and 3 folders

Scope and Content Note

This series contains materials generated by the committees and caucuses that do much of the actual work of the CDC. The bulk of the committees are listed alphabetically in the first subseries. Because there is so much material from the Credentials Committee related to memberships in specific clubs and the accreditation of delegates to conventions, it has been given its own subseries. See also similar materials in the Office Files subseries of the Administration Series for other committee records.
 

Subseries A. Alphabetical Files, 1955-1981

Physical Description: 3 legal boxes and 10 legal folders

Scope and Content Note

This subseries includes materials created by many of the committees and caucuses that made up the CDC. The committees formed major working groups that planned events and explored a variety of issues both internal and external (from bylaws to election reform and foreign policy). Of special interest is the Report from the Special Study Committee on Fallout Shelters, and materials from the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party Liaison Committee. For information on convention activities and planning see the Issues and Resolutions Committees, as well as the Convention Planning Committees materials. CDC Caucuses represented the interests of various subgroups of the CDC. Materials are included from the Women's, Liberal and Gay Caucuses. For information on a controversy within the Brown Caucus see the Executive Board -Perez-Medina Hearing folder in the Office Files subseries of the Administration Series.

Series 4. Local Clubs and Regional Councils, 1955-1988

Physical Description: 4 legal boxes and 4 legal folders

Scope and Content Note

This series includes flyers, newsletters, minutes, correspondence and other materials created by or connected with specific individual clubs or regional organizations (Assembly or Congressional District Councils, Regional groups, Young Democrat coalitions, and other multi-club umbrellas). The Local clubs are listed alphabetically by club name. The title of their newsletter is also listed, if at least one copy is included. The Assembly district materials are arranged numerically with separate folders only for those with the largest amount of material.
Many of the Club files contain single or scattered items. Extensive records, including minutes, correspondence and other materials, exist for two clubs: the Alta Loma Democratic Club (1969-1981), and the West Beverly Democratic Club (1956-1969). The West Beverly material includes an especially extensive run of the West Beverly Bray Newsletter (1955-1971). Materials from several San Francisco Gay Democratic Clubs have been combined in one folder (also see the Gay Democrat in the Multi-group Projects folder). The Regional materials are much sketchier.
