Repository: Oregon Health & Science University, Historical Collections & Archives
Abstract: Founded in 1961, Physicians for Social Responsibility made its mark by documenting the presence of highly radioactive waste products from atmospheric nuclear testing that led to the Limited Nuclear Test Ban treaty. Their work for the environment and public health continued, focusing on issues such as ending the nuclear arms race, global climate change and toxic pollution, the role of oil and diplomacy in conflict, research and development of renewable energy technologies, decreasing U.S. oil consumption, and increasing conservation and energy efficiency. The group created a local Portland, OR chapter in 1980. This collection includes administrative files, campaign information, various publications and books, and audiovisual materials.
