{"value"=>"<p> Series III: Subject Files consists of materials assembled by Lloyd that represent her interests in peace activism and world government; her work as a journalist and with world government organizations; and the activities of her family members, fellow writers, and activists. The series is arranged alphabetically by personal name, organization name, or topic.</p> <p> Subject files for organizations cover Lloyd's efforts in world government advocacy groups, including the Campaign for World Government Chicago Office, Action for World Government, World Movement for World Federal Government, Conseil Mondial pour l'Assemblée Constituante des Peuples, and closely associated campaigns and actions such as the People's Committee for a World Constitutional Convention. These files consist of correspondence, minutes, proposed statutes, position statements, petitions, printed materials, and periodicals, and represent Lloyd's individual work for each organization. Much of the material from Action for World Federalists concentrates on the creation and distribution of a petition to the United Nations to call a world constitutional convention; general office files, correspondence, and outreach materials for seeking partner organizations abroad are also included. Campaign for World Government files consist of carbon copies of letters to and from Lola Maverick Lloyd and William Bross Lloyd, Jr., as well as copies of William Bross Lloyd, Jr.'s reports and speeches. These files document the activities of the Campaign for World Government office on a daily basis while detailing the campaign's position on current events and its communication with elected leaders and constituents. For world government organizations, some overlap exists within the files, as Lloyd attended conferences and congresses representing the interests of multiple entities (such as the Campaign for World Government and the Conseil Mondial at the World Movement for World Federal Government congresses).</p> <p> Lloyd's employment with the Federal Writers' Project and the Federated Press are documented by correspondence, article drafts, notes, editorial memoranda, press releases, and publications. Federal Writers' Project files include an editorial manual for the American Guide Series, as well as address cards for research and writing contacts in each region or state profiled in the series.</p> <p> Topical subject files include correspondence, printed material, periodicals, and clippings on broad subjects allied with Lloyd's activism, and range from general files on world government and pacifism to the formation of the League of Nations and United Nations.</p> <p> Subject files on individuals hold manuscripts from Lloyd's writing colleagues, including Jay Allen, Camille Drevet, Jacques Savary, and Gustav Regler. Printed materials and clippings regarding immediate and extended family members are found in the Family file, with the exception of Lola Maverick Lloyd, Robin Lloyd, and Samuel Maverick, for whom individual files are present. For files on Wilhelm Schubert, Jacques Savary, and Lola Maverick Lloyd, a small amount of correspondence with outside individuals and personal work files are also present. For instance, letters between Rena Maverick Green and Lola Maverick Lloyd in the possession of Mary Lloyd are found in Lola Maverick Lloyd's file, along with Lola Maverick Lloyd's notes on her daughter's infancy, printed matter and manuscripts documenting Lola Maverick Lloyd's political activities, and condolence letters to the family following Lola Maverick Lloyd's death. The Wilhelm Schubert file contains his diaries and daybooks before and during during his courtship with Lloyd, Schubert's letters to Lloyd's parents, and a small number of Schubert's writings and personal photographs. Along with Jacques Savary's letters and documents generated by his work with Conseil Mondial and <span class=\"title\">Democratie Mondial</span>, the collection also holds nine audio recordings of Savary's lectures in the 1950s.</p> <p> Materials in the subject files are in English, French, and German.</p>"}
