Gerhard Colm papers, 1929-1972.

The bulk of the collection consists of Colm's writings, both private publications (1930-1967) as well as those published under the auspices of the National Planning Association (1952-1968). Included in his writings for the National Planning Association are a number of pamphlets, his economic projections for the coming years, as well as his addresses to House and Senate Subcommittees on various fiscal matters. The collection contains only a small amount of correspondence to and from Colm (including Hans Staudinger), but also contains Staudinger's correspondence after Colm's death with various contemporaries to establish the Gerhard Colm Memorial Lecture Series at the New School for Social Research.
