[0096] American Defense Society Records, 1915-1942 (bulk 1918-1920; 1935-1939), MS 14
Location: The New-York Historical Society, 170 Central Park West at Richard Gilder Way (77th Street), New York, NY 10024
Description: This collection documents the views, aims, and internal workings of the American Defense Society (ADS), based in New York City, an early twentieth-century nationalist organization that embraced conservative, anti-radical, nativist, and related sentiments. The material dates from 1915 to 1942, and concerns many of the political, ideological, religious, and social debates and events of the time period. Nearly half of the American Defense Society Records consists of correspondence, including incoming and copies of outgoing letters, as well as internal communications among board members, officers, and members. In addition, the collection contains much printed material, some of which were published by the society. Also included is material that documents the society's internal organization, and newspaper clippings collected by ADS. In 1920, ADS distributed pamphlets entitled "Protocols and World Revolution," that reference the anti-Semitic publication "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." In 1930, Charles Stewart Davison and ADS trustee Madison Grant published The Alien in Our Midst, or "Selling Our Birthright for a Mess of Pottage": The Written Views of a Number of Americans (Present and Former) on Immigration and Its Results (not an ADS publication).
