Background
- Scope and Content:
RG 6 of the National Committee on United States – China Relations records (1966-2009) particularly documents the National Committee's programs and activities during its formative years from the late 1960s through the 1970s. Materials include Board, Committee, and Members records, which document the NCUSCR's early program discussions and overall organizational history; records of public education and outreach programs in the early 1970s; and records documenting the National Committee's role in brokering information and facilitating exchanges in the 1970s-1980s. Other significant materials include records in the Development series of the National Committee's contract work for the U. S. Information Agency, the Department of State, and other government departments in the late 1980s – 2000s, and of grant support it received from various private foundations.
- Arrangement:
The records of the National Committee on United States – China Relations are divided into ten record groups, which reflect the order in which the records were received (but which are otherwise an artificial distinction). The records are sorted intellectually into series, which carry over through all record groups, but they have received minimal physical rearrangement. RG 6 of the NCUSCR records is arranged into seven series: 1 – Events; 2 – Exchanges - General; 3 – Exchanges to China; 8 – Programs, Projects, and Proposals; 10 – Development; 11 – Board of Directors, Committees, and Members records; and 15 – Clippings and Reference.
