Scope and content
This series documents a few of the many organizations and conferences with which Professor Rapoport has been associated. The arrangement is alphabetically by name of organization or conference. The files contain correspondence, minutes, reports, press releases, and newsletters. Some of the files are largely in German.
In the 1960s, Professor Rapoport chaired the Study Committee on Ethics and Responsibilities of Scientists of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). In 1967 this Committee conducted a survey amongst AAAS members on the importance they placed on questions pertaining to the ethics and responsibilities of their professions.
There are substantial files on the Group of 78 (1987-1994) and smaller ones on the Canadian Pugwash Group, the committee for the Evolution of the World Order Conference held in Toronto in 1999, the Federation of American Scientists, the Oxford Research Group, and Science for Peace.
