  • Series 8: North Korea Files, 1991

    These materials all date from a trip to North Korea November 12-19, 1991 on behalf of the Social Science Research Council (New York) to possibly open academic exchange with North Korea. Delegation consisted of David Featherman (SSRC President) Michael Robinson (Korea Committee Chair), and Clark Sorensen (Korea Committee Member).

  • Series 9: Vietnam War-Era Ephemera from Berkeley and Seattle, 1967-1973

    When Sorensen was an undergraduate student at the University of California, Berkeley from 1966 to 1970, it was a period of political ferment about the Vietnam War and other issues. As he walked to class through Sproul Plaza, he was often handed fliers about one political issue or another. The summer of 1968 Sorensen remembers as the most volatile. From winter quarter 1967 until he left Berkeley in the fall of 1972, he randomly collected fliers and programs. In the fall of 1968, he was in London visiting his parents, so that folder has London material. Sorensen graduated from Berkeley in 1970, so material after that time is spotty. He spent the summer of 1972 in Taiwan, and moved to Seattle in 1972, and for the first two years of his residence collected similar material in Seattle. The materials are organized in folders by academic quarter listed below.
