Title: John Sylvester Fischer papers, 1907-1980 (inclusive).

Notable are Bruce Catton, Norman Cousins, Ralph Ellison, Malcolm Foster, John Kenneth Galbraith, John Gardner, Brendan Gill, Walter Kerr, Irving Kristol, Henry Luce, Willie Morris, Reinhold Niebuhr, Milo Perkins, Bertrand Russell, Arthur Schlesinger, Barbara Tuchman, Eudora Welty, Rebecca West, Tom Wolfe and C. Vann Woodward. The correspondence also reflects his political activities, including his involvement in the presidential campaigns of Adlai Stevenson (as speechwriter) and John F. Kennedy. Political figures with whom Fischer corresponded include Maury Maverick, William Blair, Newton Minnow, Willard Wirtz, Dean Acheson, Carl Albert, Chester Bowles, McGeorge Bundy, Frank Church, J. William Fulbright, Barry Goldwater, Hubert Humphrey, Jacob Javits, Lyndon Johnson, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Edmund Muskie, Nelson Rockefeller, Dean Rusk and Harry Truman. Family correspondence also reflects his political interests, and many of these letters discuss such events as Roosevelt's policies, and impressions of Germany and the Saar plebiscite where he was a reporter for the United Press in 1935. In the 1940s he wrote on the Ukraine and India, which he visited as chief representative of the Board of Economic Warfare. Much of the material in his subject files reflects his career in government with the Farm Security Administration and the Foreign Economic Administration as well as his research on political problems while a visting fellow at Yale University. Writings include a portion of his articles, books and speeches. Journals are extant for his school years (1925-1934) and there are also later travel journals (1943-1975) which are largely political. Also in the papers are photographs, clippings, and biographical sketches.
