Women's International League for Peace and Freedom Staff and Officers
Swarthmore College Peace Collection

The WILPF was founded in 1915, with Jane Addams as one of its first leaders. An attempt was made in the 1990s to provide a complete listing of all the organization's staff and officers from its formation through to the the middle of that decade (and this was updated sporadically since then). Photographs have been added herein when available in SCPC holdings. It should be noted that records and/or photographs for many recent staff and officers are unlikely to be included in this database.
