Existence and location of originals: American Friends Service Committee Processing history: Processed by Aleksandra Borecka and Julie Schweitzer. Historical note The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) was founded in 1917 by members of the Religious

Society of Friends in the United States in order to provide young Quakers and other objectors to war with an opportunity to perform a service of love in wartime. The organization grew to approximately 150,000 members worldwide on the eve of the Second World War. In 1947, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Quakers, as represented by their two best known relief organizations, the British Friends Service Council and the American Friends Service Committee. The Prize recognized 300 years of Quaker action directed at healing rifts and opposing war. Throughout the United States, the AFSC works continually to create an informed public opinion on the issues of war and peace.
