George B. Hartwell Collection of Radical
Publications
Hartwell, George B.

1959-1971
1966-1971
English
A collection of radical publications (primarily from
the period 1966-1971), collected by George B. Hartwell in the course of his student
activism at Western Washington State College (now Western Washington
University).
Materials are in English.
Born in Tacoma, Washington, George Boyd Hartwell (1944-2017) graduated from Western
Washington State College (now Western Washington University) in 1971, and went on to
pursue a career in social work. During his undergraduate years, Hartwell was a
founding member and chapter secretary of the Students for a Democratic Society
(SDS), Western Washington State College chapter. He was among a group of eight
students arrested in November 1968 for distributing anti-draft literature to
students at Sehome High School in Bellingham, Washington. The case of the “Sehome
Eight” was taken to the Supreme Court of the State of Washington in 1971 as State v.
Oyen.
The George B. Hartwell Collection of Radical Publications spans the period 1959-1971
(bulk 1966-1971) and contains publications relating to radical thought and activism
across the United States as well as at Western Washington State College (now Western
Washington University).
The bulk of the collection comprises newsletters, pamphlets, copies of articles,
newspapers and other publications collected by Hartwell as a "Western"
undergraduate. Although some of this content was generated in Bellingham, the bulk
were published by entities nationwide, including the New England Free Press,
Students for a Democratic Society (National Office), and the Student Peace Union.
The collection provides evidence of some the influences, concerns and activities of
student activists at Western Washington State College. Many of the materials pertain
to the anti-war movement and focus on United States involvement in Vietnam and other
parts of Asia. Researchers will also find publications about civil rights, the
anti-capitalism movement, critiques of institutions (such as universities, the
media, and big businesses), and containing calls for a justice revolution in
America. Collection contents address issues of race, class and gender equity inside
the US and around the world.
The collection was processed by Samantha Wu Rose in 2018.
About Harmful Language and ContentResearchers are advised that this collection includes at least one item where the original (published) title includes a racist term that is offensive and harmful: other content in this collection may also be harmful, offensive or triggering. To learn more about problematic content in our collections, collection description and teaching tools (including how to provide feedback or request dialogue on this topic), see the following Statement About Potentially Harmful Language and Content
The collection is open to the public for research.
Donated to the Center for Pacific Northwest Studies from George B. Hartwell's estate
in 2018.
