Elmer R. Oettinger Jr. Papers, 1862-2002

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/o/Oettinger,Elmer_R.html

Elmer R. Oettinger Jr. was born in 1913 in Wilson, N.C. He was, among many other things, professor of public law and government and assistant director of the Institute of Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He died in 2010. The collection includes personal and business letters; texts of speeches; manuscript and published versions of original writings; institutional materials, such as memoranda and conference reports; publicity clippings; yearbooks; and photographs relating to Elmer R. Oettinger Jr. Prior to 1960, materials are topically varied and reflect Oettinger's educational activities; his military service with the United States Navy during World War II; and his interests in pursuing careers in the theater, the practice of law, and broadcast radio and television. After 1960, when Oettinger joined the Institute of Government at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill as a full-time faculty member, the materials, while continuing other streams, most often reflect his activities as a professor of public law and government. These activities were not confined to academia and much of these later materials reflect Oettinger's intellectual engagement with a number of state, national, and international organizations interested in various aspects of communications and the law. Many materials relate to the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. The earliest materials date from 1862 to 1930 and include Oettinger family documents, yearbooks, photographs, and letters largely from Wilson, N.C.
