Scope and Contents

Series 2, Subject Files (1911-1981) contains a wide variety of materials relating to Baldwin's public life. The bulk of the documents in this series are notes, memoranda, printed matter, occasional articles, and other unpublished non-correspondence material. This series does not treat the range of subjects as does the Correspondence Series, but the subjects to which the material relate are treated in much greater depth.

Of special interest are the subseries containing notes, documents, and printed matter from Baldwin's various trips abroad, including to Germany and Austria, Japan and Korea, and the Soviet Union. These contain many of the documents with which Baldwin worked, as well as form letters he wrote to friends at home about his experiences and his own notes and reflections. Correspondence relating to these trips is located in the Correspondence Series. The materials from his trip to the Soviet Union are especially comprehensive, treating many aspects of life in the Soviet Union in the late 1920s, including religion, national minorities issues, and youth.

There is also a subseries called "Radicalism," which contains documents from various Communist and radical political organizations active in the United States during the interwar years, among them Cooperative Farms, Inc., the Industrial Division of the National Conference of Social Work, the I.W.W., the Kuzbas Autonomous Industrial Colony, the League for Industrial Democracy, and the League for Mutual Aid Plan. Other subseries of interest are "African-Americans in St. Louis," with materials relating to issues of segregation in St. Louis during the years Baldwin worked there, "The National Conference of Charities and Corrections," with which Baldwin was involved in the 'teens, and "The ACLU."

Various other smaller subject files comprise the remainder of this collection. There is printed matter from a variety of war-time organizations, information relating to the Rosenberg Case, the Point Four Program, human rights, the Middle East, Micronesia, Baldwin's 1959 World Tour, and a controversial profile about Baldwin published in the New Yorker.
