Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The Spanish Civil War Collection consists of materials relating to the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939, particularly to the participation of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and other international brigades. The material was gathered by David Gordon, who resided in New York City at the time of his death. Gordon was a member of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade (originally the Abraham Lincoln Batallion), which was composed of American volunteers fighting for Republican Spain against the fascist forces of Francisco Franco. Gordon collected photographs, postcards, periodicals, pamphlets, speeches, leaflets, posters, broadsides, handbills, musical scores, and memorabilia both during the war and later. Although much of the post-war material derives from anniversary commemorations of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and relates to Spain in general through 1973, the bulk of the collection dates from the Civil War period itself. The materials are in English, Spanish, French, Catalan, Italian, and German. English. Spanish materials comprise the majority of the collection
