Moyer, Raymond Tyson, 1899-. Papers, 1921-1992.

Title: Papers, 1921-1992.

The Raymond T. Moyer papers consist of writing files, speeches, lectures, and topical files, as well as non-textual materials and publications. The collection covers almost exclusively Moyer's professional career (19201-1968) in Far East Asia. A political centrist, the papers document Moyer's commitment to contain communism by advancing the social and economic progress of the people, as well as his role in the Far East as an agricultural reformer and advocate of U.S. foreign aid. Files relating to Moyer's autobiography further underscore his knowledge of agricultural reform and foreign aid, especially his experiences in China, Taiwan (formerly Formosa), and Korea. The lectures, official statements, and speeches (dated 1941-1989) complement the writings. The correspondence files (dated 1923-1992) provide insight to Moyer's professional activities, appointments, and contacts with Asians. A small amount of correspondence exists which reports on the Ming Hsien school's 1938 move to Szechwan Province and Moyer as a Japanese prisoner of war (1941-1942). A large number of photographs (1920s-1930s) report on Moyer's agricultural experiments, the conditions, and scenery of Shansi Province, China. Other non-textual materials document Moyer's duties with the U.S. government in the 1940s and 1950s, especially in Taiwan and Korea.
