This folder contains information regarding the move of the NAACP headquarters to Baltimore, MD. There are article drafts written by Elizabeth Oliver about the NAACP and Dr. Benjamin L. Hooks, fundraising material, receipt, brochure, notes.

Arrangement

Records produced by the NAACP, its committees, work groups, and branches are filed under the subheading Organizational Records. Most correspondence is found in Organizational Records, under the heading of its subject, with authors of letters noted in folder records. Folders without the Organizational Records heading contain mainly photographs and clippings. Additional material related to the NAACP is found in the Carl Murphy papers held by the AFRO Archives.

Processing Information

The NAACP files have been processed using detailed processing procedures due to their volume and complexity. All the information in the finding aid has been verified against folder content, and more intensive work on arrangement and description has been done to facilitate research.
