SCRAPBOOKS, , 1949-1982.

Scrapbooks documenting the activities of the IADF, particularly the role of Frances Grant, as well as documenting contemporary events in Latin America. Scrapbooks primarily contain newspaper clippings, in addition to press releases, photographs, programs, invitations, and newsletters.

Includes press coverage of events and protests sponsored by the IADF, and of Frances Grant's trips to Latin America in her capacity as secretary general of the IADF. Also includes articles and editorials written by Grant about Latin American policy and profiles of Grant herself. Among the topics covered are the plight of political prisoners under the Perón regime in Argentina, the Haya de la Torre case, the Jesús de Galíndez case, attempts to defeat General Tiburcio Carías Andino regime in Honduras, the Fidelista movement in Cuba, and the return of democracy to Colombia in 1957.

Newspaper clippings are in both English and Spanish and are from newspapers in both the United States and Latin America. Most of the scrapbooks are not full, and some items were never attached. Although the 1961-1982 scrapbook includes press coverage of Grant's honorary degree awarded by Rutgers University in 1982, most of the clippings are from the 1960s.

Of particular interest is the Maracay scrapbook, which documents the Second IADF Conference in Maracay, Venezuela (1960) and Frances Grant's experience as an observer in elections in the Dominican Republic (1966). Also includes photographs of a meeting of the Seminario Interamericano para Mujeres Sindicalistas y Cooperativistas in Huampaní, Peru in 1967.
