Biographical History

This collection is composed of the papers of H. Merle Cochran, primarily including records from his work for three agencies: the U. S. Department of State (1927-1954), the International Monetary Fund (1954-1962), and the Organisation for the Economic Co-operation and Development (1962-1969).

Foreign Service files contain material primarily pertaining to Cochran's role as a U.S. State Department Consular and Financial Secretary in Europe from 1927-1941, where he was assigned to report on international finance and banking. These activities are documented through Cochran's dispatches to the U.S. Department of State, correspondence, and reports (both his own and those compiled from various financial agencies). Travel files include meeting agendas, travel details, conference notes, and trip-related correspondence.
