The Ripon Society is a Republican Party research and policy organization of which Tanya Melich was a member. It formed in 1964 with the aim of improving the Republican Party, as members believed their original values had been compromised by catering to an extreme right-wing contingency. This series contains many copies of The Ripon Forum, a newsletter regarding politics which reflected the Society's views. The The Ripon Forum was published each month, and occasionally the Society issued a small, supplemental version, usually on the 1st or 15th of the month. There are also several copies of the Ripon Quarterly, a magazine publication of the organization. Both The Ripon Forum and Ripon Quarterlyy are missing issues in the series, so not all dates are inclusive.
