{"value"=>"<p>The subject files are arranged alphabetically. The files contain correspondence, written works, meeting minutes, programs, clippings, and fliers. Most files in this series were created by Wynner with the intention of integrating them into the larger Schwimmer-Lloyd collection; materials not originating from or collected by Wynner were sent to her for retention in the collection. Her arrangement has been retained, though folder titles that originally listed personal names where the material enclosed largely represented an organization have been amended, and are filed under the organization's name with relevant individuals noted following the folder title. The subject files broadly cover the world government movement, with content that also discusses women's issues, feminist organizations, and pacifism.</p> <p>Beginning in the 1970s, Wynner created files for her regular correspondents in the world government circuit, such as Garry Davis and Philip Isely, rather than filing correspondence chronologically. These letters by Wynner and others often contain in-depth arguments about the creation of a world federal body and administration of world government advocacy organizations that are similar in tone and substance to Wynner's published essays. The subject files do not include complete correspondence files, however, and should be used in concert with Series I.A. when looking for thorough documentation of an individual.</p> <p>Files on general topics, namely peace and world government, and women, contain a range of items, such as programs, clippings, and fliers, that cover events and organizations not represented by an individual file. Documents that discuss the administrative and ideological issues of Tom Liggett's <span class=\"title\">World Peace News</span> are filed in this series, while correspondence on Wynner's editorial and review work are filed in Series III.D., and documents on the <span class=\"title\">World Peace News</span> world government seminars in Series IV. Individuals pursuing the same research topics as Wynner-Schwimmer and early women suffrage and peace activists-are also documented here, with correspondence as well as Wynner's commentary on her colleagues' developing manuscripts. This material is not duplicative of the formal reviews by Wynner in Series III.D., but is complementary in providing a complete overview of her engagement with authors.</p> <p>In addition to Wynner's collecting for the subject files, some individuals sent her material for the expressed purpose of adding to the Schwimmer-Lloyd collection. In particular, the Georgia Lloyd/Campaign for World Government, Frances Fenner/Fedonat Press, and Josephine Rubin files are a mixture of correspondence with Wynner as well as their own documents gathered for donation to the collection.</p>"}
