Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Arrangement
Materials are mostly arranged in the order they were received. Some boxes that had miscellaneous files were moved into appropriate series.
Collection History
- Custodial History
While donated by Kati Marton, materials were directly received from George Packer. Holbrooke's papers were loaned to Packer for a period after Holbrooke's death. Packer utilized Holbrooke's materials to write "Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century." Materials were transferred to the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library in June, 2018 and January, 2019. Packer kept Holbrooke's filing cabinets intact, but arrangement of some material may reflect the organization of Packer's office.
- Appraisal
Files that contain third-party personal information such as social security numbers have been separated from the papers. A few documents have been removed due to the presence of classified information. Removals are noted at the folder level.
- Processing Information
A box-level inventory and basic finding aid were created by Phoebe Nobles in May 2019. This collection was processed and a folder-level inventory was created by Kelli Yakabu in August 2019.
