Subseries A: Clippings and text
Scope and Content Note
This subseries holds various clippings and pages from newspapers and magazines, along with some text information maintained by the DCA. Of particular interest to those interested in true crime is the folder on Velvalee Dickinson, the former DCA member accused of espionage and treason during WWII for passing coded information along to the enemy via doll catalogs.
Folders have retained their original labels in quotation marks when possible, with additional descriptive information added to some folder titles in brackets.
