Series IV: Organizations and Conferences, 1973-2005

This series documents the Committee's interaction with the scientific community and with other human rights organizations. It contains correspondence with members of other groups, petitions that CCS circulated at conferences, articles submitted to scientific journals, and information about collaborative projects, such as the American Physical Society's Membership Matching Program. Files on the CCS-sponsored Frontiers of Science Conference can be found here, as can information on the Committee's work with the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe.

Materials are arranged alphabetically by the name of the organization or conference.
