Abstract
The archive listing includes a small depiction of the front cover of the issued NCVRW Resource Guide. The front cover contains an illustrative drawing and statement of the 1996 NCVRW theme: "Victim Justice: A New Day Dawns." The archived material contains the contents of the Resource Guide, which includes an introductory letter from the Director of the OVC regarding the rationale and goals for the 1996 NCVRW. Other listings for the archived material include field-initiated ideas for public awareness and outreach and samples of the following: a planning committee letter, a proclamation, public service announcements, a press release, an opinion/editorial column, a speech, and a sermon. Other archived 1996 NCVRW materials are listed as "Notable Quotables;" "Accessing Information: OVC Resource Center and Other Services;" "Resources on Crime and Victimization from NCJRS" (National Criminal Justice Reference Service); and "Additional Documents and Resources." This listing, entitled "OVC Archive," advises that it is provided for reference purposes only; although it was current when produced, it is no longer maintained and may now be outdated.
