Paul Lewinson was a professor of history specializing in African American suffrage and white politics in the South, and also was employed as an archivist. He received his Bachelor's degree from Columbia University in 1922 and his Ph.D. from Brookings Graduate School in 1927. He began his career as an instructor of history at Ohio State University (1927-1929) and was assistant professor of history and political science, and a visiting professor at Swarthmore College (1931-1932) and 1937-1938 respectively. From 1933-1935, Lewinson was responsible for the Taft Papers at the Library of Congress, and was appointed Chief of the Labor Department archives in 1938. He died in the late 1980's. The Paul Lewinson Notes for "Race, Class and Party" collection consists primarily of notecards organized by subject and state for Lewinson's book, "Race, Class & Party: A History of Negro Suffrage and White Politics in the South" (1932), published by Oxford University Press. Subjects include the Old South, slavery, suffrage, general politics and race prejudice. In addition, there are a postscript Lewinson wrote in 1964 for a later edition to his book, a letter from his publisher, and two publications: "The Negro in the White Class and Party Struggle" (1928 journal article) and "A Guide to Documents in the National Archives: For Negro Studies" (1947).
