The Small Southeast Asia Collection contains photographs, postcards, and papers depicting the people and locations within several countries in the Southeast Asian region. Materials predominately focus on the Philippines with some featuring Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and Burma (Myanmar) circa 1890s-1945.

Contains a grouping of six separately accessioned collections depicting people and locations in the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and Burma (Myanmar). Strengths of the collection include photographs and other visual materials that depict different communities living throughout the Philippines and other locations during the early half of the twentieth century. Some of the collection's items were created from the perspectives of foreign travelers and missionaries to the region that may describe people and places using outdated terminology. The majority of content is written in English, although captions in the Siam and Cochin China photo ablum are mostly in French.

Scrapbooks, correspondence, photographs, and ephemera relating to the life and activism of UM alumnus Stan Nadel.

Scrapbooks, correspondence, photographs, and ephemera relating to the life and activism of University of Michigan alumnus Stan Nadel.

The correspondence series is primarily composed of letters sent to Nadel either supporting or denouncing his actions. Also included is Nadel's correspondence with a representative of the NLF in Algeria.

The legal documents series consists of the papers the FBI and Michigan police compiled while investigating and surveilling Nadel.

The two scrapbooks contain clippings, correspondence, and ephemera that Nadel collected in the 1960s. Loose materials from the scrapbooks have been placed in folders stored alongside the scrapbooks. Each folder notes the contents of the scrapbook pages that were on either side of the loose materials. Many of the loose materials from scrapbook one are legal documents relating to Nadel's HCUA hearing. Note that the second scrapbook has been placed at the back of Box 3 to optimize storage.

The photographs series includes a sequence of photographs taken in South Vietnam around 1964 and a number of photos and negatives of Nadel and others in Ann Arbor.

Ephemera includes an anti-war petition CAV circulated, lists of contacts for potential donors to CAV, travel ephemera from Nadel's trip to Europe, and a small booklet of NLF stamps.

Stephanie Mills (1948- ), moved to Maple City in Michigan in 1985 after twenty years of living in California. She has been deeply involved in environmentalism from her time at Mills College, where she came to national attention for her infamous commencement address as valedictorian in June 1969, "The Future is a Cruel Hoax". Stephanie Mills was a member of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America board of directors from 1970 to 1976, and later served as editor and advisor for multiple environmental publications. Her interests, as expressed in the correspondence and writings that make up the Stephanie Mills Papers, include overpopulation, deep ecology, ecofeminism, ecological restoration, the spread of technology, economic and cultural globalization, and the intersection of personal values and one's life in terms of environmental impact. Although Mills wrote a substantial amount of poetry during her college years, she is deservedly well-known for her nonfiction writings, particularly her numerous books on ecology-related subjects. As a working author and journalist, Mills published a large number of articles, essays, and book reviews in various mainstream and environmental publications across the length of her career. The Stephanie Mills Papers includes a large number of manuscripts, correspondence, personal materials, research materials, as well as audiovisual recordings of Mills speaking publicly on ecology and related issues. The correspondence is a rich collection of personal exchanges over many decades with friends, family, and fellow environmentalists. The writings and numerous manuscripts provide an unrivalled and detailed view of Mills's writing process.

The Stephanie Mills Papers consist of a wide variety of materials from across the length of Mills's career. The collection contains a large amount of correspondence spanning Mills's personal and professional lives, including incoming and outgoing correspondence with colleagues, family, friends, and publishers. The Stephanie Mills papers also contain assorted material from her time at Mills College, including original poetry, term papers, and materials relating to Mills's famous valedictory address delivered in June 1969. Although the Personal series is not large, it also contains a variety of materials including an original sketchbook, scrapbooks, and calendars spanning thirty years of Mills's professional life. Mills attended, organized, and spoke at a large number of public events related to her various interests, and materials relating to these compose the Conferences and Lectures subseries. The collection also contains materials relating to Mills's activism dating back to the early 1970s, including issues on which she was active in Michigan.

The Writings and Manuscripts series makes up the bulk of the collection and contains numerous drafts of Mills's books, in addition to correspondence and research materials relating to each project. A small gathering of Mills's original cartoons can be found in the Visual Art series, including original pen and ink illustrations for a 1975 publication on birth control. The Audiovisual series contains numerous audio recordings and two video recordings of Mills speaking in public as part of various events. The Computer Disks series contains 41 3 ½-inch micro floppy disks holding numerous documents relating to Mills's various books and writing projects, in addition to resumes and a small number of personal documents. In total, the Stephanie Mills Papers are divided into 10 series: Correspondence; Correspondence, Name; Personal; Professional; Activism; Writings and Manuscripts; Visual Art; Clippings and Reviews; Audiovisual; and Computer Diskettes.

The Correspondence series contains approximately 5 linear feet, Boxes 1-5, consisting mainly of correspondence with fellow activists, colleagues, and friends. Organized chronologically by decade and year, relevant photographs, clippings, and ephemera are generally kept with the related correspondence. Undated correspondence can be found at the end of the decade bundles in which they were received, with additional undated correspondence collected at the end of the series. Outgoing correspondence from Mills is generally separated from incoming correspondence as it was received, particularly sets of letters to Robert Schlichting and correspondence Mills wrote while residing at the Blue Mountain Center in New York State during 1983 and 1986.

The Correspondence, Name series contains approximately 3 linear feet, Boxes 5-8. The correspondence is gathered into sets relating to specific individuals with whom Mills held significant exchanges. These correspondents include personal friends as well as fellow environmentalists, including Chellis Glendinning, Barbara Dean, Felicia Guest, Hazel Henderson, William Horvath, Freeman House, Kraig Klungness, Jane Anne Morris, and Gary Snyder. Mills also corresponded with two young men serving in the Vietnam War, as well as enjoying a long correspondence with her mother, father, aunt, and other family members.

The Personal series contains approximately 2 linear feet, Boxes 8-9, and contains assorted material from Mills's time at Mills College in Oakland, California, including original poetry, term papers, and materials relating to Mills's famous valedictory address delivered in June 1969. Although the Personal series is not large, it also contains a variety of materials including an original sketchbook, scrapbooks, and calendars spanning thirty years of Mills's professional life, which can be found in the oversize Box 25. The scrapbook included in the Personal series also contains a number of clippings Mills gathered, often related to her valedictory address at Mills College in 1969. A sketchbook dating to 1966 contains original artwork by Mills, and materials relating to Mills's 1985 wedding to Phillip Thiel are also included in the Personal series.

The Professional series contains approximately 3 linear feet, Boxes 9-12, and includes materials largely related to Mills's professional appearances and public speaking throughout her career. Mills attended many conferences related to her field of study, including repeat appearances and tenure on organizing boards for events. The largest part of the series is correspondence, logistical and publicity information and other material related to Mills's attendance at conferences around the US and abroad. The material is arranged chronologically by year and month, with those events containing the largest amount of material provided first. The Conferences and Lectures subseries opens with a group of speeches Mills delivered on overpopulation, an issue which remained a concern across the length of her career. It is important to note that the Conferences and Lectures subseries also contains transcripts and position papers from a 1980 conference on technology named Technology: Over the Invisible Line? The subseries also holds transcripts from the 1993 Neo-Luddite Summit and 1994 Megatechnology and Globalization conference, both of which Mills later incorporated into the book Turning Away From Technology, which she edited and to which she contributed writing. The Professional series also contains a number of notecards Mills used during various lectures, although these are undated. A small amount of information related to Mills's hosting of discussion salons in a professional capacity for a Michigan organization in 1996 is also included in the Professional series under the subseries Salons.

The Writings and Manuscripts series contains approximately 11 linear feet, Boxes 12-23, and contains materials related to Stephanie Mills's writings spanning the length of her career. The series contains 6 subseries: Books; Novel; Editorial Work; Criticism; Essays; and Articles.

The Books subseries contains materials related to many of Mills's books, arranged chronologically by book. The subseries begins with a small amount of material related to a never-published book proposal, and continues with a large amount of materials relating to Mills's books Whatever Happened to Ecology?, In Praise of Nature, In Service of the Wild, Turning Away From Technology, and Epicurean Simplicity. The Books subseries contains numerous typescripts, drafts, manuscripts, galleys, and correspondence with publishers and others including proposals and editorial comments. The amount of material for each book varies, but the amount of material related to each book often makes clear Mills's painstaking drafting process. Research material, outlines, and notes are also often provided for each book. Turning Away From Technology, a collection of writing on technology and the modern world, contains a significant amount of correspondence and corrected manuscripts from individual contributors to the anthology; this correspondence is arranged alphabetically by contributor. It is useful to note that the transcripts of the 1993 and 1994 conferences relating to Turning Away From Technology can be found in the Conferences and Lectures subseries within the Professional series.

The Novel subseries consists of a manuscript for a never-published novel by Stephanie Mills which appears to date to the early 1970s.

The Editorial Work subseries contains material related to Mills's work as editor of various environmental publications, particularly EarthTimes in 1970 and Friends of the Earth's Not Man Apart from 1977 to 1978. The subseries contains correspondence and press related to the publications, as well as an account Mills wrote describing her editorship at EarthTimes. Mills also served on the advisory board of Earth Island Press and the Editorial Work subseries contains materials she edited for the organization. The serials have been catalogued separately from the collection.

The Criticism subseries consists primarily of book reviews Mills wrote for various publications, largely related to the environmental movement. The materials are arranged chronologically by decade. Materials include manuscripts and various drafts of the reviews as well as correspondence with various publications and clippings of the published reviews. The Criticism subseries is small, consisting of only two folders of material.

The Essays subseries contains a small number of Stephanie Mills's essays and book excerpts which appeared in various publications from the 1980s through early 2000s. The essays are very representative of her thinking, and the Essays subseries includes a proof of the book Consuming Desires edited by Roger Rosenblatt, to which Mills's contributed her piece entitled Can't Get That Extinction Crisis Out of My Mind.

The Articles subseries contains a number of articles Mills wrote for various periodicals, including Co-Evolution Quarterly, Synapse, The San Francisco Bay Guardian, EarthTimes, Clear Creek, and various other environmental and mainstream publications. Materials are arranged chronologically by decade unless large amounts of material related to specific publications appear. The subseries contains drafts and published versions of articles, as well as correspondence and research materials related to the various pieces. The 1970s sub-subseries also contains transcripts from a number of interviews Mills later shaped into articles, including interviews with Margaret Mead, Frank Herbert, Garrett Hardin, and Hazel Henderson, among other influential environmentalists.

The Visual Art series contains approximately .1 linear feet, Box 23, and consists of a small gathering of Mills's original cartoons. The series contains original pen and ink cartoon illustrations for a 1975 publication on birth control. Other visual art Mills created appears can be found in the Personal series. A small collection of proofs from the artwork from Epicurean Simplicity, original drypoint engravings by Glenn Wolff, can be found with the book itself in the Writings and Manuscripts series.

The Clippings and Reviews series contains approximately 0.25 linear feet, Box 23, and consists of primarily clippings and photocopies of reviews of Mills's books. The clippings and reviews are arranged chronologically by decade. The Other Clippings subseries contains clippings, copies, and publications not directly related to any of Mills's specific projects.

The Audiovisual series contains 38 audiocassettes, 12 microcassettes, 2 videocassettes, and 4 compact discs, Box 24. The numerous audiocassettes include interviews Mills held with environmentalists and a complete recording of the Conference on Megatechnology and Economic Globalization held in 1994 in Devon, England. Microcassettes largely related to Epicurean Simplicity can also be found in the Audiovisual series, as well as two videocassettes recording Mills's speaking at two events in 1992 and 1993. The four compact discs in the Audiovisual series contain audio of Mills speaking at events and giving interviews in the early 2000s. Audiocassettes and microcassettes in box 26 have been reformatted, and CD access copies have been created.

The Computer Disks series contains 41 3 ½-inch micro floppy disks, Box 24, and consists of three boxes of disks holding numerous documents relating to Mills's various books and writing projects, in addition to resumes and a small number of personal documents. The files are largely identified by labels, although they are in a number of different formats.

Stew Albert, a founding member of the Yippies, was a political activist, writer, journalist, and unindicted co-conspirator in the "Chicago Seven" case in 1968. The Stew Albert and Judy Gumbo Albert Papers offer insight into the lives of two activists who were involved in anti-Vietnam war protests, members of the Youth International Party (Yippies), and had ties to groups such as the Black Panther Party and the Weather Underground. The collection contains a variety of materials, including manuscripts, FBI files and court documents, photographs, slides, and negatives, artwork, audiovisual material, realia, scrapbooks, and posters.

The Stew Albert and Judy Gumbo Albert Papers offer insight into the lives of two activists who were involved in anti-Vietnam war protests, members of the Youth International Party (Yippies), and had ties to groups such as the Black Panther Party and the Weather Underground. This collection contains a variety of materials, including manuscripts, FBI files and court documents, photographs, slides, and negatives, artwork, audiovisual material, realia, scrapbooks, and posters. Besides documenting their lives and activities, the collection also offers a glimpse into an aspect of American activism in the 1960s and afterwards, including antiwar protests and the women's liberation movement. The Alberts had close ties to other prominent figures in the movement, such as Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, who are well-represented in this collection through writings, correspondence, photographs, and audio interviews.

With roughly 28 linear feet of materials, the Stew Albert and Judy Gumbo Albert papers are divided into 12 series: Manuscripts and Writings; Name and Correspondence; Personal; Topical Files; FBI Files; Court Documents; Photographs, Slides, and Negatives; Artwork; Audiovisual; Realia; Scrapbooks; and Posters. Researchers should note that books have been separated from the collection and cataloged individually.

This collection includes arrest papers, clippings, correspondence, photographs, and court records related to the case Street vs. New York. The Physical Evidence file contains remnants of the burned flag.

The Flag-Burning collection is comprised of court papers, correspondence, news articles, and pamphlets relating to the case known as Street vs. new York, including parts of the actual burned flag used as evidence in the court proceedings. Court papers chronicle the position of the prosecuting attorney, Harry Brodbar, including the transcripts of the actual trial and the arrest order. There are letters of support for Brodbar from William F. Buckly, Veterans of Foreign Wars Magazine editor Paul W. Mills (Brodbar was a member of the VFW), and a member of the American Legion. Other items include newspaper clippings on the progress of the case, an issue of Legion magazine and photos of King County Asisstant District Attorney Harry Brodbar, and a flag burning event. A single autographed poster of an artist's interpretation of an American flag, which includes the signatures of Dave Dellinger, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Phil Ochs, and Pat Paulsen, became the basis of a similar case involving a bookstore owner. It is the only expression of support on behalf of Street in this collection.

This case is a microcosmic study of how two conflicting forces- the Vietnam/Civil Rights movement on one hand and the conservative forces of law and order on the other, brought their grievances to the highest court in the land. The representations of the act of burning the flaf are a universal and enduring feature of protest. The act of burning a US flag by Sidney Street in itself is not unique-- that is to say it has happened before and certainly since-- however, the documentation of how a ruling on the act of protest through speech and symbolism took shape in the US Supreme Court has significant historical value. Although these are mostly papers from the prosecutor's files, this collection presents both sides of the legal argument in court. Moreover, Sidney Street is a representative, through this archival record, of a mass of 'average' US citizens who became fed up with war and inequality. This collection contributes to understanding the limits of authority and protest in public life and, as such, it is a very valuable resource for scholars of US law, civil rights, and the Vietnam War era.

Socialist and pacifist active in labor, civil rights, cooperative, and world government movements. The papers comprise scattered meeting minutes of various organizations, notes (some very detailed) on speeches and other social functions attended by Tekla in the Cleveland area in the 1930s, carbon copies of outgoing correspondence, and a collection of mailing lists. There is a considerable amount of print and nearprint material -- single issues of labor periodicals, newspaper clippings, for m letters, flyers, etc. The papers reflect to varying extents Tekla's activities in North Dakota as an organizer for the Civilian Public Service Union, a national organization of conscientious objectors performing alternative service during World War II; his efforts to recruit Cleveland auto workers for the Socialist Party in the late 1930s; and his membership on the national executive committee of the Socialist Party, the executive committee of the War Resisters League, the policy committee of Democracy Unlimited (ca. 1952-56), the Cleveland Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and the Committee for a Socialist Program and Action (ca. 1959-64). Tekla was heavily involved in the cooperative movement in Cleveland and to a lesser extent in the Saskatchewan Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) in the mid-1940s.

The collection consists of material created and collected by Tad Tekla, individually and in various roles in socialist and labor organizations.The collection has been arranged alphabetically by topic.The most voluminous material includes: minutes and other records of the Socialist Party and the Socialist Party-Social Democratic Federation, ca. 1945-1958, including records relating to the Committee for a Socialist Program (founded by critics of the Socialist Party who wanted to serve as an "educational and organizational center within the Party"); records and other material relating to labor unions and labor issues, including records of the Civilian Public Service Union, 1946, and records relating to a crisis in the United Auto Workers and efforts by the Socialist Party to recuit auto workers, ca. 1939; "public meeting notes" by Tekla, which include typewritten notes and diaries relating to a wide variety of meetings and events, 1933-1955 (bulk, 1933-1936); material relating to the world citizenship movement, ca. 1945-1958; material relating to the cooperative movement, ca. 1936-1954; records of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), ca. 1948-1952; and outgoing correspondence, 1961-1964.

Federal program to promote the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) by providing matching grants to community based organizations to help them use or provide telecommunications for new opportunities, especially for unserved or under-served groups. Records include project proposals, reports, sound and video recordings relating to individual projects, websites and other digital records.

(NOTE: More information about the TOP collection, which is part of the TOP Data Archive, can be found at the following link: http://www.si.umich.edu/toparchive. Included at this website are electronic documents, web pages, and datasets created by the Technology Opportunities Program as well as related documents created by researchers and students at the University of Michigan School of Information.)

The TOP Data Archive was initiated in 2004 by the University of Michigan School of Information. In addition to TOP itself, partners include the Community Informatics Initiative at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Graduate School of Library and Information Science, the Educational Development Corporation, the Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Research, and the U of M Special Collections Library.

The TOP Data Archive is distributed, with physical materials in the U-M Special Collections Library and electronic materials online at one or more locations. As of 2006, the electronic materials are still being processed.

This idea behind assembling this data archive was to preserve important records concerning how local communities are entering the digital age, and create a foundational dataset for the emerging field of Community Informatics. This field examines communities and information and communications technology. It emerged in the 1990s from experiments with technology in communities which have been carried out worldwide, at the grassroots level and/or by means of national and international funding initiatives.

The TOP Data Archive includes 1) information assembled in the course of a federal agency managing its projects, 2) that same information re-purposed for research use, and 3) new information brought in for research purposes. The federal agency is the Technology Opportunities Program (TOP) within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce. TOP funded projects from 1994-2005, and is expected to continue managing already-funded projects into 2007.

The records in the TOP collection--that part of the TOP Data Archive which is in the holdings of the Special Collections Library--represent grant proposals submitted to TOP and project materials created by TOP and its grantee organizations, known as TOP projects, during the period of 1994-2005. The collection is not inclusive of all 606 TOP projects. TOP was able to locate and provide for the collection project documents and Audio/Visual materials for about 88 TOP projects. These were materials that the projects submitted to TOP over the years. The TOP project materials are represented by many different formats, including paper, multimedia compact discs, floppy disks, cassette tapes, and video recordings.

The records of the TOP collection are arranged into eight series: Proposals, Project Documents, Project Reporting System, Project CDs, Project Floppy Disks, Project Cassette Tapes, TOP and NTIA, and Video Recordings. Later additions may be found in Proposals, Project Documents, and Video Recordings in Box 17.

Contains mostly photocopies of materials created since Kaczynski's arrest in 1996, including correspondence, writings, legal documents, and prison documents. Material created prior to his arrest are photocopies obtained from the FBI which were to be used as evidence in his trial. Additional materials are expected to be added at a later date.

The Kaczynski Papers date from his imprisonment in 1996. Any materials from before 1996 are copies created, primarily by the FBI, for use as evidence in Kaczynski's case. At the present time, the collection of Kaczynski's correspondence is by no means complete. The Labadie Collection expects to receive important additional series of Kaczynski's correspondence at some future time. Kaczynski affirms that he does not sort out any hateful letters, but that in fact he received only a handful of such letters. The collection is divided into eight series: Correspondence, Legal, Prison, Publications, Writings of Ted Kaczynski, Clipping and Articles, Audiovisual and FBI Files. At the end of the finding aid some of these sections are continued as new material has been received over the years. Documents have been added to the Legal, Prison, Publications, Clippings and Articles, FBI Files and Correspondence in this order and begins in Box 88. The Correspondence series takes up the bulk of the collection. It consists of correspondence written to and by Kaczynski since his arrest in April 1996. The Labadie Collection has prearranged with Kaczynski that the identity of all but a small number of his correspondents be protected as far as possible. For this reason, the correspondence series is only available to the public in photocopied form, with names and addresses marked out. In some folders, correspondents personal information was deleted but in a later date the files were opened and the names were left intact in sections. The originals are sealed until January 1, 2050. The Labadie Collection has arranged the material by correspondent. In order to preserve anonymity, each correspondent has been assigned a number, and each number has been allotted a separate folder. For those correspondents prolific enough to fill more than one folder, additional folders have been designated with decimals. Within the folders the materials are arranged chronologically. Folders with red flags or tabs indicate a response letter from Kaczynski. Researchers should note that not every item in the Correspondence Series has been photocopied. The following types of items remain in the original collection but have not been made available as copies: envelopes and cards that do not have any messages on them; résumés and other documents that reveal too much personal information to block out; revealing photographs; and gifts such as phone cards or pencils. In some cases the correspondence from a particular individual was deemed so repetitive that only samples were photocopied. At the request of Kaczynski, some correspondents' identities have not been hidden; these names are provided in the box list. The Correspondence Series contains a small number of artifacts, mainly gifts such as stamps, stickers, pens and dried flowers sent to him by correspondents. These are in the folders with the original letters. Most have not been photocopied. Some printed materials are included in the correspondence, but most (including all books and pamphlets) have been moved to the Publications Series. Several correspondents sent materials to Kaczynski that, according to prison rules, he is not allowed to have, such as stamps, envelopes, etc. In those cases, the writer received a form letter from the prison indicating that the materials were not delivered to Kaczynski. Some of these letters are in the respective correspondents' folders, and the rest are in folder #0419. Some folders include carbon copies or drafts of responses by Kaczynski. In addition, Kaczynski's handwriting may be found on some of the correspondence in the form of log numbers or occasional notes or comments on the envelope or letter. The vast majority of the letters in this series were mailed unsolicited to Kaczynski by people he did not know. Perhaps significant to students of American Culture, these letters are overwhelmingly supportive of Kaczynski, if not his cause. Many assert belief in his innocence and express sympathy for his incarceration. A large number of the letters are from women seeking a romantic bond with him. Other letters are evangelical, while some are from autograph hunters or individuals attracted by notoriety. Some writers are concerned with the rights of the mentally ill, or appear to be suffering from mental illness. Mixed in among these correspondents are a few individuals who knew Kaczynski before his arrest, or who engage in serious communication about his case, his publications, environmentalism or his views on technology. A few letters were sent from other countries, but the bulk of them were sent from within the United States. The Legal series is divided into four sub-series. Copies of documents consist of items copied, primarily by the FBI for the court case. The documents consist of photocopies by his lawyers from FBI files. The FBI files are photocopies of documents found in Kaczynski's Montana cabin such as journals and tax documents he stored in his cabin. There are two codes on some of the documents; documents starting with a K number are encoded by the FBI and documents with a numerical code are Bates numbering used by Kaczynski's lawyers. Legal Communication contains copies of documents, notes, and letters Kaczynski sent to his lawyers and their staff and attorney work products. Legal Documents contains court documents and drafts of briefs. This sub-series does not include correspondence with his lawyers but may include correspondence to judicial officials relating to his case and court documents. Also included are Kaczynski's Sacramento County and Helena County jail records. Legal Notes and Research is comprised of research Kaczynski did for his court case. In some documents Kaczynski has written notes on an assortment of files with relevant information for his case. The Prison series contains prison forms such as CopOuts, law library request forms, appeals to prison regulations, and notes and research on a variety of issues. All the files were generated during Kaczynski's incarceration. The Publications series contains articles collected and often notated by Kaczynski, copies of four published works, and one unpublished manuscript. The four published works are Chistes, ensayos, rimas de Miami edited by Joaquin Delgado, Montana Dreaming, a play in two acts by Alex Gross, The Secret Life of Ted Kaczynski by Chris Waits and Dave Shors, and The United States of America v. Theodore Kaczynski by Michael Mello with corrections by TK. alt.fan.unabomber by Ross Getman is an unpublished manuscript. Material is also included on Chris Waits' book The Secret Life of Ted Kaczynski. Waits was a resident of Lincoln, Montana who wrote a book about Ted Kaczynski that Kaczynski claims was a hoax and largely fabricated. The Writings of Ted Kaczynski are all documents written by Kaczynski. Documents include musical compositions, Kaczynski's manuscript for his article, Ship of Fools, and several versions of his manuscript, Truth versus Lies, along with items relating to its expected publication. The edited version of Truth versus Lies was edited heavily by Beau Friedlander, publisher and editor-in-chief at Context Books. The Original version contains markings by Friedlander and his employees because it was a copy of the original that Kaczynski had sent to them; otherwise it is as Kaczynski originally wrote it with a few reparations of errors made in the transfer of the manuscript from Friedlander to him. These reparations include the addition of several missing pages as well as incomplete pages where text was blocked out. The missing pages were as follows: 78-132, 135-143, 168, 214, 266, and 293. The first folder of the Original version also contains an errata sheet prepared by Kaczynski for the manuscript. A couple of articles are included which Kaczynski wrote under the pseudonym Apios Tuberosa. More of his writings will be added as they are accessioned. The sub-series Refutation documents contain materials collected and organized by Kaczynski for the writing of his manuscript, Truth v. Lies. Clippings and Articles are an assortment of clippings and articles cut out from newspapers, magazines and newsletters. The clippings and articles fall into three categories. One is about Kaczynski's life such as his arrest, his trial and his family history. Second are technology, science and wildlife articles of interest to Kaczynski. Third are clippings collected by Kaczynski while he was living in Lincoln, Montana and found in his cabin. Except for the clippings found in his cabin, many of these articles were mailed to Kaczynski while in jail by his fans and correspondents. The Audiovisual series contains cassette tapes, which have been converted to CD, and VHS tapes, which are currently restricted until they can be converted to a more stable format. Audio recordings include an interview by journalist Theresa Kintz in 1999, which was published in Anarchy: a Journal of Desire Armed and the UK edition of Green Anarchist. The interviews require written permission from Kintz for access. The Henry A. Murray Psychology Study materials are from a psychology study Kaczynski participated in while a student at Harvard. The VHS tapes are television recordings of movies made about Kaczynski's life from the USA and Lifetime television networks and recorded by some of his fans. Last are the VHS tapes recorded by the FBI and used in his legal case. The recordings are of Kaczynski's cabin, items found in the cabin and the surrounding area in Lincoln, Montana. The FBI Files series consists of photocopies of documents found in Kaczynski's cabin in Montana by the FBI in 1996. The documents are in the original order the FBI photocopied his journals and documents, but some pages are missing and closed to the public. The pages are mainly from his journals written in English, Spanish, and a numeric code. The earliest entry is dated 1969 until February 1996. This includes all of his journals, maps, identification documents, math equations, correspondence and other miscellaneous documents. Each document was photocopied by the FBI and assigned a number that starts with the letter K. These documents can also be found in the Legal series which includes not only FBI numbers on each page but some pages include Bates numbering from Kaczynski's defense team. The FBI photographs sub-series are photographs taken by FBI agents after Kaczynski's arrest and were housed in photograph albums. The photographs have been taken out of the albums, but the original order of the photographs kept intact in folders. Photographs are mainly of Kaczynski's cabin, the land surrounding the cabin and downtown Lincoln, Montana. Other photos include photographs of bombs, other weapons and bomb making materials found in his cabin. The photographs were used in Kaczynski's legal case.
