The second installment of the American Civil Liberties Union Papers archive is officially released. This resource expands the 20th century legal coverage of Part I with newly digitized materials from the Seely G. Mudd Manuscript Library at Princeton University.  The archive documents the ACLU’s effort to enforce the legal provisions of federal civil rights legislation passed during the 1950s and ’60s.
