Organizational History--Nicaragua Information Center
Between 1980 and 1991, the Nicaragua Information Center played a leading role in coordinating activities in support of the
Sandinista government and the people of Nicaragua and in opposing the policies of the United States government, which supported
the Contra insurgency. During the 1980s, Nicaragua support work was a key focus of progressive political activity in the Bay
Area and throughout the United States. The Nicaragua Information Center began as a student organization at the University
of California, Berkeley. The organization moved off campus in 1981, and eventually grew large enough to support a full-time
paid staff of five, in addition to many volunteers. NIC published
Nicaraguan Perspectives, an important national magazine on Nicaragua between 1980 and 1991. NIC also formed the Berkeley-Leon Sister City Association
in 1985. The Center provided alternative information about Nicaragua, coordinated opposition to U.S. policy in the Bay Area
and much of the west, and played an active role both in raising material support for Nicaragua and facilitating travel by
individuals to and from Nicaragua. In addition, the Nicaragua Information Center served as the Pacific Southwest Regional
Coordinator for the Nicaragua Network from 1983 through 1992. In this role, NIC played an influential role in developing and
coordinating national policy for the movement in support of the Sandinista regime. This included anti-Contra aid agitation
and person-to-person exchanges. Through delegations and work brigades, the Center helped hundreds of people travel to Nicaragua.
Working with various coalitions, the Nicaragua Information Center played a central role in the political struggle against
aid to the Nicaraguan Contras and raising material support for Nicaragua. The elections in Nicaragua in 1990 brought about
a transfer of power from the Sandinistas to a more conservative regime. This shift had a dramatic impact on the Nicaragua
support movement, severely reducing financial support for organizations such as the Nicaragua Information Center which had
been identified with the Sandinista movement. In June 1991, the Nicaragua Information Center closed its doors. While NIC continued
to operate on a reduced level after this date, its lack of office space and funding have made its resources unavailable to
the public.
Organizational History--Subsidiary Organizations
The Berkeley-Leon Sister City Association (BLSCA) was formed in 1984 after Mayor Gus Newport traveled to Nicaragua and declared
a sister city relationship with this university town. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, substantial work was done to
expand this relationship, including numerous tours of Nicaraguans to Berkeley and delegations from Berkeley to Leon. In addition,
tens of thousands of dollars in aid was raised and sent to Leon. This relationship is well documented in the files, including
flyers for events, background on material aid efforts, and documentation on the tours and delegations. Efforts continued at
a reduced level through the mid-1990s. The last events took place in 1996 and the BLSCA ceased to operate in 1998.
During the 1908s, the Nicaragua Information Center was the most active Nicaragua support committee in California. Because
of that, the organization was asked to coordinate activities in a five-state region (California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and
Hawaii). In this capacity, a representative attended regular national meetings of the Nicaragua Network and communicated with
local committees in the region. At the height of Nicaragua solidarity work, there were more than 60 committees in this region.
During this time, the Pacific Southwest Region (PSW) organized numerous regional tours of Nicaraguan speakers, coordinated
material aid campaigns, and published a regional newsletter.
Within a year of the defeat of the Sandinistas in the 1990 election, committee support plummeted to a couple dozen committees.
In late 1991, NIC facilitated the transfer of the coordination of PSW regional activities to the Latin America Support Committee
(LASC) in Fresno. LASC had been an active committee for 12 years and agreed to take up a scaled-down role, primarily written
communications and tour coordination. By the end of 1993, LASC was unable to continue this role and about a dozen active committees
and coordination of regional activities was returned to the National Office in Washington, D.C. Occasional regional meetings
were held, and LASC continued to put out occasional mailings.

Processing Information
Materials received in 1992 were minimally processed in 1996. Materials were left in original folders provided by the organization
and titles in finding aid were transcribed by Bancroft staff from original folders. In 2023, Bancroft staff reviewed and edited
the finding aid and did some physical work on the folders after inaccuracies were reported by researchers. In addition, in
2023, additions received in 2001 and 2006 were integrated into the finding aid. Audiovisual and multimedia materials received
in 2006, once cataloged separately under the title Nicaragua Information Center Audiovisual Collection and given the call
numbers Motion Picture 1104 D and BANC KIT 7, were integrated into this collection during the course of processing in 2023.
Scope and Content
The records of the Nicaragua Information Center span the decade of its operation, beginning in 1980 through its closure in
1991. They consist primarily of NIC's operational, working files, including information about other organizations and political
events of the decade, and its resource library, which was available for public use.
The Nicaragua Information Center strove to collect and make available to the public information about Nicaragua by monitoring
both the mainstream media and less accessible, alternative sources of information, including publications from Nicaragua and
other countries. The Center hoped to empower activists interested in supporting the Sandinista government in Nicaragua by
providing access to facts and perspectives on the situation in that country which could be used to counter the negative picture
painted by the U.S. government and its Contra allies. The focal point of the Center's outreach to the public was the Clippings
File, organized by subject. Since the emphasis was upon facilitating quick access to information, thereby fostering effective
action, inconsistency and redundancy were acceptable, and even desirable, in the organization of the Center's files and Library.
With only a small paid staff and heavy reliance on volunteer activists, as well as changing personnel and an increasingly
broad scope of responsibility, changes in filing practices and strategies are obvious throughout. The organization of the
collection attempts to preserve the internal structure of the Center's files. Unfiled documents, as well as documents collected
by individuals active at the Center but organized outside the Center's own filing system have been integrated, with the ideal
of preserving the integrity of that structure whenever possible. Duplicate materials have been minimized, although information
about a given topic or event will often be found in more than one location within the collection.
Series 1 of the Nicaragua Information Center's files was organized in congruence with the Center's committee structure. Since
many activities of the Center were not generated by standing committees, but rather by ad hoc events committees, or through
the Coordinating Committee, there is only a relatively small amount of material found here. More information about activities
and events NIC coordinated or in which its members participated is filed in an Events section, which forms Series 2.
NIC was governed by its coordinator, other paid staff, and its coordinating committee. The files of these administrative entities
form the hub of Series 3: Internal Organization. Included here are office manuals, orientation information and other reference
works including speeches, analytical papers and correspondence with other organizations, as well as records of the coordinator
and coordinating committee. The dominance of the central administrative structure in the Center's existence is evident in
the expansion of these files in preference to Events and Other Organizations files. During the early years, these records
reflect the ongoing effort to keep abreast of changes in U.C. Berkeley campus regulations, and to supply documentation to
justify NIC's status as a student organization. Fundraising, another major focus, is amply documented, underscoring the Center's
energetic pursuit of foundation grants.
Series 4: Other Organizations, consists of printed material and correspondence from many organizations involved both in Latin
America support work and a wide variety of other political and social causes. The central importance of the Nicaraguan issue
to the political left in the United States led to its inclusion with many other causes in broad coalition approaches. The
Nicaragua Information Center was intersted in staying informed about and involved with other causes and organizatrions on
the political left; activists around other issues were eager to link their causes to the prominent struggle being waged in
defense of the Nicaraguan Revolution.
Series 5: Clippings File, a collection of articles, pamphlets, and other miscellaneous publications, formed the heart of the
Library that the Nicaragua Information Center maintained for the use of activists and scholars. Its holdings, in both English
and Spanish, provided a concentration of material on many aspects of Central American economics, culture, history, and politics,
including many obscure pamphlets and other documents from Niaragua. In addition, there are many issues of Nicaraguan newspapers,
some magazines, and a large number of unsorted clippings. Although many of the clippings are taken from more obscure newspapers
and journals, the Center regularly clipped from the
San Francisco Chronicle,
San Francisco Examiner,
San Jose Mercury News,
Bay Guardian,
Los Angeles Times,
New York Times, and
Wall Street Journal, and the major national news magazines. Insofar as was possible, unsorted materials have been integrated into the collection
in proximity to material with related subject matter.
Series 6 consists of additions to the collection received in 2001. These materials include the materials of two subsidiary
organizations: the Berkeley-Leon Sister City Association (BLSCA) and the Pacific Southwest Region of the Nicaragua Network.
Series 7 consists of additions to the collection received in 2006 and is made up of all audiovisual and multimedia materials.

INTERNAL ORGANIZATION
1980-1991
Scope and Contents
The Nicaragua Information Center stressed planning, and annual work plans, the first sub-series, form an important part of
its files. The Coordinating Committee, which worked with the Center Coordinator, kept minutes of its deliberations, and these
form the second sub-series, while the reports of the Coordinator form the third. Additional sub-series, reflecting important
components of the Center's organization, are: Committees and Work Areas; Information/Issues; Tours; NIC Organizational Miscellany;
Administrative Files Miscellany; Subscriptions; and Personnel. Substantial sub-series devoted to Fundraising and Foundation
Information reflect the constant need to raise funds for the Center's work. The last sub-series is devoted to Media, not surprising
in an organization whose central goal is to influence public opinion. Includes correspondence, work plans, minutes of meetings,
notes, handbooks, speakers lists, speeches, office manuals, orientation materials, financial records, personnel documents,
blank forms, copies of applications, plans of events, brochures, leaflets, and media lists.
Arrangement
Divided in 13 sub-series according to administrative function.
