Scope and Contents

From the Series: This section, boxes 15 through 96, contains materials regarding the many committees, divisions, sections, commissions, task forces, and caucuses within the National Communication Association. These groups each had a specific focus within the larger organization, dealing with administrative issues, awards, debate and education programs, finance, publications, and both short and long term projects. Materials in this section include correspondence, meeting minutes, and information regarding projects completed by the groups. Materials of the largest groups (boxes 15 through 87) have been placed at the beginning of the section, with smaller groups arranged at the end (boxes 89 through 97) in alphabetical order within their respective category (committee, task force, etc.). The large groups include Administrative Committee (boxes 15 to 18), States Advisory Council (box 19), Finance and Research Boards (box 20), Legislative Council (boxes 21 to 24), Educational Policies Board (boxes 25 to 32), Publications Board (boxes 33 and 34) and the Committee on International Discussion and Debate (boxes 35 to 88 and oversize storage). The materials of the Committee on International Discussion and Debate (CIDD) chronicle the history of international debate programs sponsored by the NCA from 1959 to 1993. The materials include correspondence, host institution information, itineraries, participant materials, tour evaluations and tour publicity. The participant materials included in the CIDD files contain photocopies of photographs. The original photographs were transferred to the Multimedia Section of the Manuscripts Division (P0746). Materials regarding the national "Bicentennial Youth Debates" (boxes 43 to 51) that were sponsored by the NSCA in 1976 include congressional endorsements for the program, correspondence, final project evaluations, (the official publication for the debates), project descriptions and outlines, and publicity. Oversized publicity posters for the international debate program are in box 88. These were photocopied where possible and the photocopies were placed in the original locations of the posters.
