Dennis Wainstock, Compiler, Scrapbooks
Collection
Collection Number: A&M 4741
Two scrapbooks compiled by Dennis Wainstock that include clippings of the articles/editorials he wrote for the The Daily Athenaeum, the student-run newspaper, during his time as a graduate student in history at West Virginia University, from 1974 to 1984. Wainstock was an active member of the Socialist Party U.S.A. and the Morgantown chapter of the War Resisters League, a national secular pacifist organization founded by opponents of World War I. The articles include his perspectives and options on current events, debated political issues, and the political activities of the left-wing student groups at West Virginia University.
The addendum of 2026 April includes seven notebooks of a manuscript on the history of women's rights and feminism, as well as several clippings of columns, articles, and letters to the editor written by Wainstock.
