Arrangement
CDC files are arranged generally in chronological order. See list below for file folder titles.
Scope and Content Note
CDC files were created by Stephen Zetterberg while he served as a member of the CDC Board of Directors. CDC files primarily
contain correspondence, background on issues, CDC publications and CDC resolutions. The topics covered by this collection
range from healthcare and social welfare to foreign policy and the Vietnam War.
This collection provides a unique look at the Democratic Party in Southern California. It contains several examples of political
campaign materials during 1950s and 1960s that serve as excellent examples of campaigning during the time. Also among the
correspondence is overall sense of the spilt within the Democratic Party during this time. The CDC was more to the left of
the party establishment and as the 1960s wore on, they became the dominant structure with the party. Any researcher interested
in the CDC or the Democratic Party will find ample material to use for their work.
