The papers of Patrice I. Elms, consisting of correspondence, reports, topical files and some organizational records, provide a fine overview of the state of abortion rights in Michigan in the later 1980s and other controversial issues such as school choice and parochiaid. The papers are arranged in four series: American Association of University Women, People's Campaign for Choice, 1987-1988, Topical, 1972-1999 and Audiovisual Materials, 1986-1997. These documents provide a fine overview of the state of abortion rights in Michigan in the later 1980s.
People's Campaign for Choice, 1987-1988 includes files from Elms' career as the organization's treasurer. Researchers should be aware that Elms was treasurer of approximately fifteen similar fundraising committees (a list may be found in biographical material under Topical, 1972-1999) at this same time. While the overwhelming majority of the material contained in this series was generated by People's Campaign for Choice activities, some material hails from other committees.
