Biographical / Historical

The Iowa City Education Project was a left-leaning information clearinghouse in the late 1960s/early 1970s. It was operated by Bert Marian and based in North Liberty, Iowa. It appears to have been a private organization, although it did collaborate with the University of Iowa's Action Studies Program on at least one effort - a bibliography of magazine articles relating to Vietnam in 1967-1968.
