The Swarthmore College collection consists largely of pamphlets and other printed matter, arranged by subject. The preponderance
of the materials relate to World War I; the Spanish Civil War; the espionage case of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Martin

and were determined either to be duplicates or to not be suitable for inclusion in the Swarthmore College Peace Collection.
