- Scope and content:
-
Series 1 consists of news clippings and magazine articles related to the death penalty issue, notices of rallies, fliers, and pleas written by death penalty abolitionists. The original order of materials, accumulated and grouped together by Halperin, was maintained.
The bulk of series 1 is news clippings and magazine articles. News clippings were photocopied on acid free paper and oversized news clippings were stored in original format covered by acid free papers. Several items, originally created in fax format, were scanned, modified, and printed on acid free paper because of severe paper deterioration. Included are several news clippings collected from newspapers in other countries, including France and Italy.
The news clippings from April 1990 to December 2000 are organized on a monthly basis. However, materials from March 1994 to December 1995 are grouped by individual death row cases.
