MSS 98-1a, Addendum to the Papers of David A. Martin, 1974/1994, bulk 1990/1994

This addition reflects, almost entirely, Martin's work with the Immigration and Naturalization Service with the development of new asylum reforms during the Clinton administration. There are numerous proposals, reports, drafts, research studies, correspondence, notes, memos and other important documents. Martin believed that with "…a well-designed system capable of resolving cases on the merits within six months, there would be less of a felt need to turn to devices that keep people away from our shore…." (National Journal, 8/7/93, p. 1979) and that the U. S. asylum system could be controlled.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
