Survey of AFSC Archives on (1938-2000) Created by Elizabeth Douglas ’13 in Spring 2012

The AFSC in Korea: A Brief Summary The American Friends Service Committee’s (AFSC) archival on Korea first begin in 1938 when Gilbert Bowles travelled to Japanese occupied Korea. The AFSC did not begin work in the country until 1946, when it began to provide aid to the devastated country. Through the rest of the 1940s and 1950s, the AFSC provided relief to victims of both World War II and the . Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the AFSC worked to expose the human rights violations perpetrated by the South Korean government. From since the 1960s, the AFSC organized various conferences and seminars on the possibility of reunifying North and . Throughout this time, AFSC delegates visited the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea; each time they toured the country, they wrote detailed reports describing their experiences and observations. The AFSC’s work continues into the 21st Century, and the archives are updated to reflect the AFSC’s current projects.

How to Use this Survey: The following survey was designed to give a brief overview of the AFSC’s collection of materials on Korea. I have first listed the contents of the AFSC reference files on Korea and then the individual boxes chronologically. Within in each year is a list of relevant boxes and their pertinent contents. As the AFSC’s archives on Korea span a considerable period, there is much variance in organization systems. Although I did not list the names of every folder in every box, I gave a brief summary of relevant materials in each box; these summaries are not comprehensive but merely give an overview of the material. I have also estimated the amount of material in each folder (although, I do not guarantee with any degree of certainty that these estimates are very accurate). After the chronological section of the survey, I have included a separate section listing the photographs that the AFSC archive has.

You can also search the document for specific places, people or AFSC projects.

The AFSC archive has passport photos of nearly every one of its members for the last century. The photos are organized alphabetically, although the photographs of Friends from before 1946 are in their own box. Additionally, oversized photographs are stored in a separate box, so be sure to check these boxes as well.
