Louise Diamond was a founder and co-founder of several peace study policy groups, including Sunray Meditation Society in Lincoln,
VT, the Institute for Multi-Track Diplomacy in Washington, D.C., The Peace Company in Bristol, VT, and Networks Inc. in Burlington,
VT. As a citizen peacemaker, she traveled globally to teach peacebuilding and nonviolent conflict resolution - often in active
war zones - as well as supported other peacemakers in their endeavors. Diamond wrote many articles on the subject of peace
and conflict resolution, and the articles were published in a wide variety of journals, magazines, and books. She held several
degrees, including a Ph.D. in Peace Studies from the Union Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio (1990). Diamond was a longtime resident
of Vermont, USA, and passed away in May 2015.
The Louise Diamond papers consist of documents on workshops, writings, consultations, and accompanying audio visual materials
written by or involving Diamond. Subjects include Diamond's company, The Peace Company, and workshops surrounding the subject
of international peacebuilding, diplomacy, and conflict resolution. These documents also pertain to peacebuilding in specific
countries, such as Cyprus, Bosnia, and Kenya.
Special Collections and Archives holds several other notable collections on conflict analysis and resolution including the
Harold Saunders papers, the James Laue papers, and the John Burton papers.
