Series 5 contains reference materials that Murder Victims' Families for Reconciliation have used in their fight against the death penalty. While many of the materials broadly deal with the death penalty, there are a number of items that record the work of other anti-death penalty advocates and organizations. Along with these materials, there are also documents relating to court proceedings and legislative hearings. Contained in this series are newspaper clippings, press releases, newsletters, flyers, pamphlets, booklets, brochures, manuscripts, transcripts, drafts, correspondence, court proceedings, legislative bills, amici curiae, floppy disks, zip disks, dvds, cds, and vhs tapes.
