Scope and Contents

Series X, Publicity Department - (1941-1950)contains material dealing with UCR/USC's efforts in two major areas: fundraising and education. Among the documents dealing with fundraising are those concerned with the Million Dollar Fund, a gift from a single anonymous donor. The China Relief Legion was a program that UCR/USC administered to honor major contributors. Other fundraising information is contained in the files marked "Foundations"; these deal with foundations across the country that UCR/USC solicited. The educational aspects of UCR/USC were seen as an important component of its mission to aid China. This series contains information about the books, pamphlets, and motion pictures which UCR/USC published. Also, the news releases which UCR/USC published to help keep China in the news are included, along with documents pertaining to some of the celebrations of Chinese culture and society which UCR/USC helped to promote. Additional related material can be found in the Publications series, which includes some of the educational materials of UCR/USC.
