Ed Hamlett Papers
1954-1988
The Ed Hamlett Papers contain a variety of material pertaining to Ed Hamlett’s life, acquaintances, and materials from the impressive number of organizations in which he
participated. The collection spans 39.62 linear feet in total, and covers the years from 1954 to 1988. Most of the material, however, is concentrated between the 1960’s
to 1975, and his involvement in civil rights and psychiatric nursing. The papers include correspondence, large numbers of notes, photographs, reports, proposals, and
writings by others, as well as numerous collected publications. The majority of the material relates to Ed’s involvement with civil rights organizations such as the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and the Southern Students Organizing Committee (SSOC), and his tenure at Vanderbilt in Psychiatric Nursing.
The Series in the collection are as follows:
- Series I: General Correspondence
- Series II: Personal and Biographical
- Series III: Newspaper Clippings
- Series IV: Notecards
- Series V: Oversize Materials
- Series VI: Council of Federated Organizations/White Folks Project
