This series consists of minutes, agenda, correspondence, and leaflets of the national and the regional branches of the CND. Most of the files exist here in original form, however some also appear on the microfilm of CND records from the Commonwealth Library. After the microfilm, the series includes a CND file index and individual files which were removed from binders but retained in their original order. The contents of the files reveal work accomplished at the various conferences and meetings, the evolution of issues, work done on special topics, and distinctions between the national and regional branches of CND.

This series represents a collection of reports and writings chronicling current events and issues of the anti-nuclear movement. There are three subseries. The first includes a set of clipping files arranged in chronological order dealing with both news about the CND and nuclear affairs. The second subseries, arranged in alphabetical order by subject, involves countries and organizations. The final subseries consists of collected reference articles pertaining to a vast array of nuclear issues. These articles are contributed from such broad fields as physics, ethics, and military strategy.
This subseries consists of a collection of news clippings, some in their original form and some which have been removed and placed in folders.
