Title:
Theodore Draper research files, 1919-1970.
The collection consists of the research files of Theodore Draper from 1919 to 1970. The collection is comprised mostly of subject files and recorded interviews Draper collected during the course of his research on the history of American Communism, primarily those collected for the projected third volume, never completed, covering the period since 1930. The materials in this collection document the history of the American Communist Party, 1930-1945, and, to a lesser extent, American Communism from 1919-1929, as well as the persons (primarily Earl Browder, General Secretary of the Communist Party, 1930-1945) who were active in party affairs, particularly for the later period. The collection includes correspondence and writings of party figures, including Max Bedacht, Herbert Benjamin, Alexander Bittelman, Earl Browder, James Cannon, Eugene Dennis, and Vincent R. Dunne; taped interviews with Josephine Truslow Adams, Browder, Cannon, Manuel Gomez, and Joseph Starobin; summaries, notes and/or transcripts of interviews with Bedacht, Robert Bendiner, Benjamin, John Brophy, Browder, Esther Corey, Frank Crosswaith, Samuel Darcy, W.A.
