Industrial Areas Foundation records, 1952-2004 | WorldCat.org (original) (raw)

Summary:This collection reflects the activities of the Industrial Areas Foundation. The IAF has been headquartered in both New York and Chicago, but the materials were produced by affiliates across the country. The records date from 1952 to 2004 and include correspondence, campaign materials, organizers' field reports, newspaper clippings, organizational publications, annual reports, and training materials. The materials prior to 1968 reflect the IAF under Saul Alinsky, while the materials produced since 1973 reflect the modern IAF under Ed Chambers. The materials generated between 1968 and 1973 reflect the transitional period when the training institute originated and IAF activities became more institutionalized
