The map purports to show how the Communists—allegedly in league with the Nazis and various Fascist organizations—had established a pervasive, nationwide "Fifth Column" that "Menaces America on a Thousand Fronts." Separate symbols are used to denote the locations of Communist Central, District and Section Headquarters, as well as Communist Workers' Schools, Training Camps and Literature Centers. Markers show the locations of similar operations of the Nazis, German Bund and Fascists (including "Native Fascists"). The country is divided to show the separate Communist District Boundaries and Nazi Department Boundaries. The text on the face of the map asserts that the Fifth Column has "penetrated" the U.S. Army, Navy, National Guard and Defense Industries. What matters on this map is not the specific geographic location of any individual group, but their sheer pervasiveness and scope, surely enough to strike fear into any patriotic American.

The project resulted in the publication of Elizabeth Dore's book How Things Fall Apart. The interviews are intended to engage in conversations with Cubans who lived through the transition to communist rule after the Cuban Revolution and experienced events of the following decades. The goal of the project, led by Dore, was not to interview people who have established themselves as public or political figures after the Revolution, but rather to generate a dialogue with ordinary citizens whose narratives do not appear in conventional narratives. Most of the interviewees, then, are not prominent personalities. They are professionals, campesinxs, teachers, sex workers, state employees, cooks, messengers, and people working illegally, among others.

295.7 linear feetProfessional and personal files including Armstrong's correspondence with professional associations, other engineers, and friends, his research notes, circuit diagrams, lectures, articles, legal papers, and other related materials.
