Ed Hamlett Papers
1954-1988

Series XIII-XIX Listing

Series XIII. The Students Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) Series like the SDS series is comprised of material about the organization collected as Ed worked in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960’s. Both are small series compared to the SSOC series.

Series XIV. The Southern Student Organizing Committee (SSOC) Series represents the bulk of Ed’s work in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s. He was an active member of this organization and was employed full-time for the group working with college and universities across the South. The series contains correspondence, reports, publications, and other primary sources that document the organization’s history, purpose, and objectives.

Series XV. The Tennessee Council on Human Rights (TCHR) Series documents Ed’s association with the group in the 1960’s and 1970’s.

Series XVI. The Vanderbilt Divinity School Series contains items from Ed’s career as a student of the school and primarily consists of syllabi and course materials.

Series XVII. Ed participated in many different groups working to effect social change in a variety of venues. Some of the minor projects with which he was associated make up the Miscellaneous Organizations Series (3.3 linear feet). Ed was a vocal activist against Vietnam, was involved in the project to “Save our Cumberland Mountains,” and participated in a group discussing the use of nuclear power in Huntsville. These sections, along with the others, house assorted pamphlets and flyers (as the rest of the organizations do), notes and publications.

Series XVIII. The Great Speckled Bird Series contains issues of the publication from 1968 to 1974.

Series XIX. The last series contain a wealth material in the Miscellaneous Publications Series (9.17 linear feet). This is an assorted collection of various print related items that he collected throughout his life. Ed’s interest in politics, the South and student issues infuse this portion of the collection. From underground newspapers like the NOLA Express and fairly extensive collection of the Great Speckled Bird, to publications on Marxism as well as the nearly ubiquitous Newsweek and Time magazines, this series houses Ed’s collection of a broad range of printed matter.
