Peace Links was a national organization committed to promoting peaceful alternatives to nuclear war. Betty Bumpers, wife of former U.S. Senator Dale Bumpers, founded the organization in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1982. The Pennsylvania Peace Links chapter was established in Pittsburgh on July 6, 1983 by a group of influential local women, including Teresa Heinz and Joan Specter. Mary J. Paradise served as the first president. Other founding officers of Pennsylvania Peace Links were Toni Conaway, Teresa Wilson, Ruth Friedman, Mary Sheehan, and June Stool. The organization collaborated with other nuclear disarmament groups on various efforts, such as Physicians for Social Responsibility (in organizing the Concert for Peace in 1984), the Nurse Alliance for the Prevention of Nuclear War, and the Union of Concerned Scientists. After the end of the Cold War, Peace Links remained dedicated to the abolishment of nuclear weapons, but their mission also widened to include women's rights and equitable development worldwide. Peace Links was recognized as an accredited Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) by the United Nations, and a delegation from Pennsylvania Peace Links attended the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China on September 4-15, 1995. The national office in Washington DC closed in the summer of 2001, with subsequent disbandment of the Pennsylvania chapter in 2007 and the North Carolina chapter in 2011.
Scope and Content Notes This collection consists of the records of Pennsylvania Peace Links, spanning the years 1981-2004.

Documentation includes the Peace Links' attendance at the United Nation's Fourth World Conference on Women and records generated from the organization's involvement in other international conferences pertaining to women's rights issues. Additional materials have been added under new sections located at the end of each series entitled, "New Material Added, 2011."

These efforts focused specifically on the dangers that nuclear weapons pose to children, and Peace Links sought to involve sympathetic women's and Christian groups in the movement against nuclear weapons. Of particular interest is a planning and curriculum guide for dealing with issues of nuclear war in a classroom setting.

Pittsburgh/Beijing and Beyond , 1985-2000 Scope and Content Notes These records relate to Peace Links' attendance at the United Nation's Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing, China from September 4-15, 1995. A concurrent unofficial Nongovernmental Organization (NGO) Forum, held from August 30 to September 8, 1995, paralleled the themes of the UN conference and included workshops, presentations, and plenary sessions by international participants. Members of the Pittsburgh/Beijing and Beyond '95 group participated in both the UN Conference on Women and the NGO Forum. Some of the Peace Links members traveled to the conference on a "Peace Train" that ran from Helsinki, Finland all the way to Beijing. Topics discussed at the conference included development, education, human rights, health and reproductive rights, and world peace. Despite difficulties, the conference was felt to have accomplished some important advances in the topics discussed.
This series contains papers pertaining to the preparation for and attendance of the conference and forum. Materials in the collection include a small number of United Nation reports, flyers, newspaper clippings, and brochures, relating to topics discussed at international conferences and the status of women and development in various countries. There are no internal business records, correspondence, or financial statements in this series.
