The Nuclear Freeze Movement, launched by Randall Caroline Forsberg, resulted in the largest ever anti-nuclear protest in the United States. Forsberg also founded and directed the Institute for Defense and Disarmament (IDDS), which published the Arms Control Reporter, a monthly publication that summarized news of arms control and disarmament measures, between 1974 and 2007.

The Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) recently initiated a project to digitize the volumes for 1982-1991; these are now posted under a CC license open to the public via HathiTrust at https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000068634.

Additional papers from the IDDS archive will become available in digital form later this year. The project has been funded by a grant to PACS from Cornell Library's program to support Digital Collections in Arts and Sciences. Learn more about the IDDS archive project here.
