The Southern Regional Council is a reform-oriented organization created in 1944 with its roots in the Commission on Interracial Cooperation.

The collection includes newsletters, memos, correspondence, reports, programs, statements, and pamphlets from various organizations, such as the League of Women Voters, the National Council of Negro Women, and the National Women’s Committee for Civil Rights.
