This collection includes materials created by the Salem Witch Trials Tercentenary Committee when they were organizing the commemoration and creating the memorial for the victims of the Salem Witch Trials that is now in Salem, Massachusetts.

Series I. Administrative Materials includes any documents that were created by the committee in relation to the work they were doing. This series has been divided into three subseries.

Subseries A. Fundraising includes letters to and from many organizations that the committee sought financial support from. There are also Thank You notes to the groups that donated money.

Subseries B. Sponsor Files includes the files the committee created for the donors who were intimately involved with the planning and funding of the 300th year celebration. These folders have retained their original titles.

Subseries C. Other includes the rest of the documents in the collection related to the administrative workings of the committee. There are documents with copyright and publication information for various pieces of commemorative ephemera. There is also the agreement with the city of Salem and minutes from some committee meetings.

Series II. Event Ephemera includes brochures, pamphlets, and invitations for the events of the celebration.

Series III. Newspaper Clippings includes newspaper clippings that the committee had collected by a third-party organization. They cover from a year before the anniversary, October 1991, to a couple months after the anniversary, December 1992. They come from a variety of magazines and are all related to the celebration in some way. These were removed from their original three-ring binders.
