Collection Description & Creator Information
- Description:
Hirschman's papers document his scholarship on economic development and his academic career and include his correspondence written while he was at the Institute for Advanced Study, his writings, and his research notes and materials, especially related to his work in Latin America and for the World Bank. The papers also include biographical materials and papers related to his travels for conferences, to give lectures, and to conduct research.
Please see the series descriptions in the contents list for additional information about individual series.
Collection History
- Archival Appraisal Information:
In 2007, duplicate materials and letters of recommendation written by Hirschman were separated from this collection and destroyed. Publications were removed to be cataloged separately at the Pliny Fisk Library of Economics and Finance at Princeton University. A file of information about Luis E. Nieto Arteta was separated from the October 2009 accession and destroyed.
Twenty-five diskettes were removed from the materials received in the July 2012 accession. These diskettes duplicated material in Hirschman's paper collections and in at least one case contained viruses. No materials were removed from the 2018 donation.
- Sponsorship:
These papers were processed with the generous support of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission and the John Foster and Janet Avery Dulles Fund.
