Scope and Contents
The Sally Wiesenfeld papers date from 1969 to 2001 and measure 5 linear inches. The papers are arranged in three series: Activism, Photographs, and Artifacts. Most of the papers relate to peace activities in the Cedar Falls-Waterloo area during the Vietnam war.
The Activism series (1969-2001) is largely comprised of the papers of the northeastern Iowa chapter of Another Mother for Peace, but also includes documents related to other peace organizations and peace activities in the Cedar Falls-Waterloo area. Presidential election items include literature on Peg Mullen's run for delegate to the 1972 national Democratic convention. Newspaper clippings on the peace movement range from the national to local level and include several articles on Another Mother for Peace's 1971 fight for a booth at the College Square Shopping Center in Waterloo, which it ultimately won. Peace literature includes articles, flyers, pamphlets, and bibliographies; it also includes documents related to the 1980s work of Citizens for Peace, which opposed the development of nuclear weapons, the participation of the Cedar Falls-Waterloo peace activists in booths at local fairs such as Sturgis Falls Festival and Waterloo Days, and responses received by Local Citizens Against the War to its ad in the The Waterloo Courier supporting the moratorium called by the anti-war movement in 1969.
The Photographs series (1971) contains a photo of Another Mother for Peace's booth at the Iowa Cattle Congress.
The Artifacts series (1972, 1995 and undated) includes an assortment of merchandise from Another Mother for Peace including bumper stickers, note cards, pins, and a 1995 peace calendar published by the War Resisters League.
