Divinity School library completes UUSC cataloguing project

The Andover-Harvard Theological Library at the Divinity School recently completed a 15-month project to catalog and preserve the institutional records of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC).

Tim Driscoll, project archivist and curator of manuscripts at the Library, managed the arrangement and cataloging needs of the UUSC records which span the history of both the Unitarian and Universalist Service Committees as well as the combined UUSC agency. Driscoll also implemented a records management program to guide the future transfer of the Cambridge-based UUSC records to Andover-Harvard.

Topics covered in the UUSC archives include the European underground railroad for refugees of the Nazi invasions, the red-scare and red-baiting in postwar America, civil rights campaigns and other social justice and human rights programs in the U.S. and abroad.
