| Description | Grant file containing correspondence, minutes, agendas, accounts, business plan, newsletters, copies of newspaper cuttings, leaflets, postcards and funding requests relating to Electronics for Peace (EfP). Funding source(s): Barrow and Geraldine S. Cadbury Trust. Applicant overview: EfP was formed in November 1982 from a group of peace minded electronic engineers who link the escalation of arms production and the increasing technical complexity of arms production with the work of their profession. EfP aims to 1) link and support electronic engineers who share a concern for the military implications of their profession, 2) co-ordinate action by electronic engineers to de-escalate the involvement of the industry in arms manufacture, research and development, 3) provide technical information, where appropriate, to those working in the field of nuclear and conventional armament, 4) promote an awareness of the electronic/arms link and its implications among the general public, 5) encourage the development of plans for converting industry from military to civilian production, and 6) encourage the development of positive, socially appropriate applications of electronics. Exchange Resources is the recruitment agency and business consultancy arm of EfP. Nature of support: In 1987 the Fund approved a single £10,000 grant to Exchange Resources. Minutes: B&GSCT 7282, BCF 2918. Notes: File organised roughly by date from newest to oldest. File numbered '2/6/9'. |
