Scope and Contents

SERIES XII: LEGAL FILES (1985) consist of the court transcripts and affidavits produced during the legal case that ensued after the Willkie Memorial Building was sold in 1985 to the Republic National Bank. All of the non-profit organizations that had existed in the building were ordered to leave, but refused, and sued Freedom House and the Willkie Memorial for protection from the effects of the order. The case files contain the affidavits, and also contain copies of letters, newspaper clippings, and meeting minutes that were used as evidence in the hearing. Because many of these items are not found in appropriate series in this collection these legal files constitute an important source for the George Field Collection of Freedom House Files.
