Collection Overview

The Lauchlin Bernard Currie Papers, 1930-1997, serve to document the life, career, and theories of the economist. The collection chiefly consists of correspondence, published, materials, clippings, and subject files, and is primarily arranged chronologically and thematically. The bulk of the materials focus on Currie's analysis of macroeconomic policy during the New Deal, and growth, housing, and export policies for developing countries, especially Colombia. There is also material on China and Currie's mentor at Harvard Allyn Young
Note: The Printed Materials Series of the Lauchlin Bernard Currie Papers has been processed and inventoried at an item level, but the Personal Papers Series beginning with Box 9 is unprocessed and requires careful handling, as many of the materials are fragile. The main collection (1998-0039) is in the original order it was received with the exception of two accessions folded in after 1998 (1998-0349, 1999-0172). A small group of materials received in 2000 (2000-0251) is also listed. Folder groups headed only by a date span generally contain articles, reports, and correspondence on a wide variety of economic and socio-political subjects chiefly relating to plans for Colombia's economic development (headed by Currie) or to theories of development in poor nations. For more information on Currie's life, see the inventory files.
