[0120] American Protestant Association Records, 1842-1843, RG 323
Location: Presbyterian Historical Society, 425 Lombard St, Philadelphia, PA 19147
Description: The American Protestant Association was formed in Philadelphia in 1842. Its founders were alarmed at the spread of Roman Catholicism in the United States, feeling as they did that it was "subversive of civil and religious liberty." They formed an association to further their Protestant interests; to educate their congregations about the differences between Protestantism and "Popery," and to encourage a through study of the Bible. The records of the Association include its Constitution, minutes, and first annual report.

Description: The American Radicalism Collection holds over 17,000 books, pamphlets, periodicals, posters, and ephemera covering a wide range of viewpoints on political, social, economic, and cultural issues and movements in the United States and throughout the world. The emphasis in the collection is on materials produced by radical groups, both left and right. While the American Radicalism Collection is strongest in publications from the American Left in the twentieth century, as well as in resources for the study of American Labor History, there is considerable material from the right, including the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920's and 1930's, neo-Nazi organizations, and the Christian Right. Among the component collections in the American Radicalism Collection are the Alternative Press Collection, the Edith and Arthur Fox Collection, The American Radicalism Vertical File, the Ku Klux Klan Collection, and the Arsenal Collection. All of these collections are searchable in the Michigan State University Libraries catalogue (web addresses below). The Alternative Press Collection features subscriptions, back files, and sample issues of a wide range of alternative magazines and newspapers. Approximately 1,200 titles are represented. Publications of the political parties of the left and racist and neo-Nazi organizations of the right are included.
