Mary Neal donated the records of the Physicians for Social Responsibility to
the Western Historical Manuscript Collection-St. Louis on December 30, 1993.
Physicians for Social Responsibility is a national non-profit organization of doctors and concerned citizens committed to public education on the medical dangers of nuclear weapons and nuclear war.
The organizers created symposia to present lectures on nuclear hazards that included noted authorities such as Robert Jay Lifton, Helen Caldicott and H. Jack Geiger, as well as such media figures as Carl Sagan and Benjamin Spock.
