Scope and Contents

Series XIV, Biographical Files - (1936-1947 [Bulk 1940s]) contains brief biographical sketches of individuals who either were prominent leaders in China, or were connected to UCR/USC in some capacity, either as directors, speakers, or executives. The files contain several different types of material, ranging from small slips of paper, with just a few lines describing the person to magazine articles and booklets written about the person. Much of the material in this series bears no date and does not contain enough clues to determine when during the lifespan of UCR/USC it was written, so it is merely marked 1940s as that is the only decade during which UCR/USC was likely to have been publishing biographical sketches for media consumption.
