Abstract
Records of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts (ACLUM), an affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), document the administrative, legal, legislative, and educational activities of ACLUM, the ACLU, and its other affiliates from ACLUM's founding as the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts in 1920 to 2005. The records include legal, legislative, and subject files, ACLUM administrative records, correspondence, printed material, and other records related to the organization's attempts to protect civil rights in Massachusetts and the United States.
Historical Sketch
The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts (ACLUM), an affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), was founded just a few months before the ACLU when a small group of people met in the Beacon Hill home of Mrs. Margaret (Arthur A.) Shurcliff in Boston, Mass. in 1920. The group, "brought together by their concern with the waves of repression during and after World War I" (i.e. the "Great Red Scare" and the Palmer raids), formed the Massachusetts Civil Liberties Committee, which would soon be know as the Massachusetts Civil Liberties Union (CLUM), a name they would retain for nearly 65 years.
From the very beginning, CLUM actively battled censorship. From 1930 until the end of World War II, CLUM fought Mayor James Michael Curley when he banned birth control advocate Margaret Sanger from public speaking, opposed Curley's refusal to allow the Ku Klux Klan to meet in Boston (based on First Amendment grounds); and argued against the teachers' loyalty oath law of the mid-1930s. After the end of World War II, CLUM assisted with the creation of the Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Commission, and in the 1950s they "became a rallying point for all religious, civic, and educational organizations opposed to McCarthyism."
The new constitutional arenas that CLUM was obliged to face after 1960 would focus on the broader issues of civil rights and the equality of rights historically denied minority groups such as African Americans, women, children, students, homosexuals, patients, the physically and mentally disabled, and prisoners. In addition to their new broader focus, in 1970 CLUM would also reorganize their administrative structure; hire a full time director, legislative agent (lobbyist), and legal director; and establish the Massachusetts Civil Liberties Union Foundation (MCLUF), their 501(c)(3) legal arm to fund litigation and education activities.
In 1995 CLUM changed its name to the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts (ACLUM) and MCLUF changed its name to the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Massachusetts (ACLUFM) to reflect their affiliation with the ACLU.

Collection Description
The records of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts (ACLUM), formerly the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts (CLUM), consist of 96 record cartons, 3 document boxes and 11 oversize boxes, spanning the years 1920-2005. The records are arranged into three record groups: Record Group I, 1920-1969; Record Group II, 1927-1987 (bulk: 1970-1985); and Record Group III, 1951-2005 (bulk: 1985-2000). See the arrangement note for more information about these sections.
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) national administrative records date primarily from 1920-1985 and include correspondence, legal files, legislative files, subject files, business correspondence from ACLU national affiliates, and newsclippings. The bulk of the collection is CLUM Boston office records including administrative files, correspondence, committee records, development and membership records, legal files, legislative files, and subject files. Other records include Massachusetts Civil Liberties Union Foundation (MCLUF), now known as the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts (ACLUFM), records from 1970-1999 and CLUM chapter records from CLUM Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, and Worcester counties, and various student chapters.
The CLUM records are made up of annual reports, by-laws, policy statements, financial statements, officer lists, requests for legal assistance, legal case files, legal briefs, legal dockets, Massachusetts legislative files, Congressional legislative files, Massachusetts state and Congressional bills, newsletters, news releases, speeches, reports, studies, periodicals, photographs, audio tapes, hundreds of printed pamphlets, and clippings spanning 1970-1999.
Papers and briefs in the CLUM records relating to legal actions of interest illustrate a wide spectrum of civil liberty issues, including anarchy and sedition, academic freedom, censorship, compulsory flag salute, distribution of literature, loyalty oaths, public assembly, conscientious objectors, unionization, police malpractice, separation of church and state, aid to parochial schools, racial and religious discrimination, and the rights of voters, women, children, students, homosexuals, prisoners, patients, the handicapped, and the mentally ill.
Of particular interest are the papers and briefs relating to Massachusetts state-wide legal actions, such as Nicholls, Jr. v. Mayor and School Committee of Lynn (Mass.), the 1935-1939 compulsory flag salute case; Commonwealth v. Nichols (Mass.), the 1938 leaflet distribution case; Galardi v. Hague, U. S. Navy (Mass.), the 1946-1948 federal employee loyalty oath; Commonwealth v. Struik and Winner, the 1951-1956 anarchy case; Gallagher v. Crown Kosher Super Market (Mass.), the 1961-1962 censorship case; and Richardson v. Cole and Greenblatt (Mass.) the 1969 state employee loyalty oath.
State legislative efforts to abolish the Massachusetts Committee to Curb Communism (1937) and the Massachusetts Commission to Investigate Subversion (1950), as well as national legislative efforts like the lobby to abolish the Congressional House Un-American Activities Committee (1945-1970), the campaign to repeal the McCarran Act of 1950 during the McCarthy era, and the Nixon Impeachment Campaign (1973-1974) are included in the records. Of particular interest are the Federal Bureau of Investigation files requested in 1977 under the Freedom of Information Act, documenting FBI surveillance of ACLU and CLUM officers, members, and activities between 1920 and 1970.
In the 1980s and 1990s, CLUM records reflect its collaborative efforts with other organizations and individuals on various projects and coalitions. Coalitions of particular interest include the Campaign for Choice Coalition (reproductive rights) from 1983-1990, Bill of Rights Education Project from 1987-1999, and the youth-led Project Hip-Hop organization from 1992-1999, among many others. Records from the 1980s and 1990s also reflect the growth of the Massachusetts Civil Liberties Union Foundation with records documenting trustee meetings, development and fund-raising activities, and interactions with donors and members. In addition, the legal and general subject files (also called FLAPS) of the 1980s and 1990s reflected the controversies addressed by CLUM, including due process, sentencing legislation, issues with prisoners and prisons, privacy and technology, speech and censorship, drug issues, racism and hate crimes, and reproductive freedom.
Additional material include papers of CLUM Executive Secretary and academic freedom activist Kirtley F. Mather, 1936-1958, papers of CLUM Church-State Committee Chairman Dunbar Holmes, 1952-1967; the papers of CLUM Vice Chair Florence Luscomb, 1922-1977; the reading and subject files of CLUM Director John Roberts, 1986-1999; and the papers of CLUM board member and MCLUF trustee Eva Moseley, 1970-2003. In addition the collection includes legal files of United States v. Leon J. Kamin, an anarchy case, 1954-1957; and records pertaining to civil rights controversies at Boston University, most notably those relating to a First Amendment suit brought by the bu exposure against Boston University President John Silber, 1977-1984.
Arrangement
The records of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts (ACLUM), formerly the Civil Liberties of Massachusetts (CLUM), are divided into three record groups: Record Group I, 1920-1969; Record Group II, 1927-1988 (bulk: 1970-1985); and Record Group III, 1970-2005 (bulk: 1985-2000). The record group divisions are based loosely on the date ranges of the records, the record keeping practices of the organization, and how and when the records were accessioned by the MHS.
Record Groups I and II were formerly arranged and described separately. This finding aid now brings all ACLUM and CLUM records together and supersedes all other versions of the finding aid. The variations in the arrangement of the three record groups reflect the nature of the records and different styles of arrangement and description over a period of thirty-five years. Although the series are arranged in three rough chronological sequences, users should note that there is some overlap in dates across the three record groups because of filing practices in the ACLUM offices.
The bulk of the records in Record Group I span the years 1920-1969, and are arranged chronologically in one series titled Archival records. Within each chronological series, the files folders are arranged to reflect the union's hierarchy and organization. American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) administrative files are listed first, followed by alphabetical ACLU subject files. Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts (CLUM) administrative files are after the ACLU files and are followed by alphabetical subject files. Printed materials and miscellaneous are arranged at the end of each chronological series. Other series, such as the personal papers of CLUM members Kirtley F. Mather and Dunbar Holmes, and county chapter records, among other series, follow the Archival records series.
The records in Group II are arranged differently than in Group I. The ACLU records, CLUM records, and then MCLUF records are each arranged into their own series. Within these series the records are then arranged in to sub-series by office, creator, or subject. As with Group I, there are other series that are listed after the organizational records.
The records in Group III are arranged similarly to Group II, with a few exceptions. ACLU records are not the first series listed in the collection; chapter records are arranged within the CLUM administrative series, and the directors' records, coalition records, and general subject files (FLAPS), are each arranged into their own series.

Detailed Description of Record Group I
Expand allI. Archival records, 1920-1970
Arranged alphabetically within years.
This series contains the organizational files of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts Boston office. The records document ACLUM's various administrative, legal, legislative, and educational activities within the ACLU national organization, ACLU affiliates, local, regional, and national civil liberties groups, and individuals.
The files, dating from 1920 to the early 1960's, focus on ACLUM's defense of First Amendment freedoms of speech, religion, press, and assembly during an era of heightened national fear of aliens, labor's radical subversion and their alleged communist threats to the national security. The bulk of the records, dating from 1960 to 1969, reflect the civil rights movement within Massachusetts and the United States.
Note: The files are arranged alphabetically within years. Many years overlap across two or more cartons. ACLU and CLUM files precede alphabetical topical files which are followed by miscellaneous printed material. Not all years contain each of these elements.
1920-1939
Note: Records for 1920-1939 are in one alphabetical sequence in cartons 1 and 2.
