Historical Note
Civilian Public Service (CPS) was set up to provide alternative
service for conscientious objectors during World War II. This unique
church-state partnership established a program in which over 12,000 men
performed "work of national importance" primarily in camps administered by the
historic peace churches (the Brethren, Friends, and Mennonites). This
collection includes a sampling of newsletters put together and written by the
conscientious objectors of some of these camps
Content Description
This collection includes newsletters, mostly 8.5 x 11 inch stapled
sheets produced by mimeograph. In some cases facsimile copies have been
included.
