Title:
Papers 1902-1971.
The J. Howard Pew Papers are primarily concerned with Pew's political activities and philanthropy. Of particular interest are the letters which document Pew's activities in the American Liberty League, the Republican National Committee, and the National Association of Manufacturers. Political files include analysis of 1944 election, strategy for state and local elections and analyses of Democratic senators' voting records (1933-1938). Files on Communism include solicitations for the Russian government in exile and information collected by the National Council for American Education on the political activities of selected college professors during the 1940s and 50s. Presbyterian Church files reflect the split in the church over integration, McCarthyism, and civil liberties. To buttress his campaign for conservativism within the church, Pew also sponsored research on the life of Calvin and Calvinism. There are also files from the National Council of Churches, Grove City College, United Presbyterian Foundation, and the Christian Freedom Foundation. Other files describe Pew's involvement with the Glenmede Trust Company and The Pew Memorial Trust. Files contain copies of applications and document awards made.

New York Times Company records. Arthur Hays Sulzberger papers, 1823-1999
Title:
New York Times Company records. Arthur Hays Sulzberger papers 1823-1999
Arthur Hays Sulzberger was the publisher of xxThe New York Timesxx from 1935 until 1961 and chairman of the board of The New York Times Company from 1961 until 1968. While he was publisher, circulation of The Times almost doubled; the editorial page developed a reputation for strong opinions; news events were subjected to more analysis and coverage of specialized topics was strengthened; new sections and departments were created for food, fashion, and women; and the overall style of the paper became less rigid and more aesthetically pleasing. The papers document Sulzberger's life and career at xxThe New York Timesxx, with the majority of the collection relating to Sulzberger's 26 years as president and publisher of the paper. Included in the collection are correspondence with family members, friends, colleagues, world leaders, and other dignitaries; memoranda regarding the business of the newspaper, including Sulzberger's notes of praise and criticism to his editors, managers, and writers; reports on his meetings with world leaders, including Winston Churchill, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Harry S. Truman; and photographs of Sulzberger, his family, business trips, vacations, and The Times' buildings.

Title:
Records of the National Park Service. 1785 - 2006. Photographs of Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt; Harry S. Truman; Dwight D. Eisenhower; John F. Kennedy; Lyndon Baines Johnson; and Vice President Richard M. Nixon
This series consists of photographs showing President Franklin D. Roosevelt; President Harry S. Truman; President Dwight D. Eisenhower; President John F. Kennedy; President Lyndon Baines Johnson; and Vice President Richard M. Nixon. The majority of these records relate to President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Shown is President Eisenhower with Winston Churchill (79-PR-26); Captain Edward V. Rickenbacker (79-PR-18); and with Vice President Nixon and Mrs. Nixon on November 6, 1958 (79-PR-39). There is one view during Eisenhower's administration that shows Prime Minister Jawaharlah Nehru of India (79-PR-40). There are a few images of President Franklin Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. Those of President Truman include one of the President, Mrs. Bess Truman, and daughter Margaret Truman with actress Margaret O'Brien (79-PR-8) and one of Mrs. Truman with actress Ingrid Bergman (79-PR-9). There are two color photographs by R. L. Knudsen (United States Navy, Office of the Naval Aide to the President) relating to President Kennedy. But, these are distance shots of the President with a huge crowd. In one of these, President Kennedy can be seen with his head lowered (79-PR-74). In addition, there is a photograph of the Kaiulani, a 225-foot, three masted merchant square rigger presented to the American people by the people of the Philippine Islands as a symbol of the warm and lasting friendship between the two nations. Also known as "The last Yankee Square-Rigger", the Kaiulani was lauched in Bath, Maine, in 1899, and used between 1899 and 1910 in the Hawaiian-California sugar trade before its long history carried it to Philippine Islands. The vessel was accepted by President Johnson on October 5, 1964, on behalf of the American people (79-PR-80 and 79-PR-81). There are two photographs of President Nixon. One of him and Robert Mayo, Director of the Budget, December 11, 1968, and the other shows Vice President Nixon among a crowd, 1956 (79-PR-84). Some of these photographs were taken by Abbie Rowe of the National Park Service. But, for most the photographer is unidentified and there are no captions or dates. See RG 79, Series AR "White House Photographs Taken by Abbie Rowe" for a brief biography of Abbie Rowe.

Rochford, Daniel, 1900-1989. Papers, 1925-1983.
Title:
Papers, 1925-1983.
The papers are a mix of business and personal items. They show the importance of contacts formed in college, journalism, and aviation in Rochford's subsequent career as a publicist. However, while there are individual letters from the likes of Elmo Roper, Edward Land, Henry Luce, Robert McCormick, Gene Tunney, Herbert Hoover, Lowell Thomas, and Eddie Rickenbacker, they do little more than show the range of Rochford's connections. More substantive are letters from Yale classmate William Benton of Benton & Bowles, who aided Rochford in his switch to publicity.
