Preliminary Inventory of the Susan Hill Papers, 1976-2003 (bulk 1981-1999)
Collection consists primarily of newspaper
clippings (local, national, and international) pertaining
to abortion, the anti-abortion movement, and other women's
health issues, kept by staff of the National Women's Health
Organization (NWHO) and its regional clinics (WHOs) in
Raleigh, N.C.; Columbus, Ga.; Wilmington, Del.; Jackson,
Miss.; Fargo, N.D.; Fort Worth, Tex.; Orlando, Fla.;
and Milwaukee, Wis. Also contains NWHO legal files,
largely pertaining to the NOW (National Organization of
Women) v. Scheidler case (1986-2003), and to RICO (the
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), which
plaintiffs in the case applied to the anti-abortion
movement. Regional WHO clinics were among the plaintiffs
for NOW v. Scheidler, and Hill acted as a key witness. The
collection also includes a small number of general
office/subject files. Arranged into three categories:
Clippings, General Office/Subject Files, and
Legal Files. The
Clippings were received in
chronological groupings, and are thus described in more
detail than the General Office/Subject Files and Legal Files,
which are less organized.
Accessions (2008-0114 and 2009-0110) consist largely of operational and legal files from the NWHO and its regional clinics, including Raleigh, N.C.; Columbus, Ga.; Delaware; Central Florida; Fargo, N.D.; Fort Wayne, Ind.; and Summit (Milwaukee), Wis. Materials include facilities management files; leases and other real estate information; litigation records and lawsuits between NWHO and anti-abortion groups; police and case reports; statutes about abortion procedures; and NWHO board meeting files.
Accession (2010-0019) consists of audiovisual material: 24 VHS tapes plus 2 DVD copies (master and use) of each tape. Contents include news specials relating to NWHO and the abortion debate; also includes testimony footage, interviews, and other NWHO events.
