This series, the largest in the collection, has documents pertaining to the various local, national, and international animal
                                       rights groups. Many of the folders contain correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, pamphlets, flyers, and handouts
                                       that promote either the organization or the various animal rights issues they are concerned with. Much of the correspondence

                                       Nancy Rich (
                                       N.C. Network for Animals), and 
                                       Ingrid Newkirk (
                                       PETA). Other significant materials include: a paper written by Tom and Betsy Giduz entitled 
                                       "The Use of Non-Human Animals in Medical Education" created in conjunction with the 
                                       Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine; documents on primate research, primarily the Silver Spring Monkeys, associated with the 
                                       People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) organization; photographs and slides from PETA's unauthorized visit to the 
                                       University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Animal Holding Facility in December 1988; and court documents relating to the 
                                       SETA v. Dr. 
                                       William D. Huffines, who at the time of the case was Chairman of the 
                                       Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This series is arranged alphabetically.
