The volatile period of civil unrest in France during May 1968 was punctuated by demonstrations and massive general strikes as well as the occupation of universities and factories across France. At the height of its fervor, it virtually brought the entire advanced capitalist economy of France to a dramatic halt. This artificially-created collection contains posters, protest leaflets, tracts, and photographs from these student protests in May 1968.

This folder contains leaflets from several groups associated with the Parti Communiste Français in Paris and Lorraine, specifically, the Bureau Politique du Parti Communiste Français, the Comité Fédéral de Meurthe-et-Moselle Sud du Parti Communiste Français, the Union des Étudiants Communistes de France, and the Union des Jeunesses Communistes de France. Many documents are from the Union des Étudiants Communistes de France in Nancy.
