                            SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE



     The papers of Eric Frederick Goldman span the years
1886-1988 and document Goldman's career as an historian, author,
and special consultant to President Lyndon B. Johnson.

                                    Part I

     Part I of the Goldman Papers, covering the entire time span
of the collection, includes correspondence, memoranda, reports,
transcripts, writings, diaries, scrapbooks, and family papers
arranged in five series.  The correspondence in the Family Papers
series consists of letters between Goldman and his family and
close friends pertaining chiefly to personal matters but also
providing details concerning his public career.  Goldman's third
wife, Joanna, kept diaries, generally in a rough note format,
which document her husband's private and public life, especially
during his association with the Johnson administration. 
Scrapbooks containing newspaper clippings, printed ephemera,
photographs, and correspondence also cover Goldman's
achievements.  Eight of these scrapbooks are in the Oversize
series.

     The General Correspondence series contains letters from
colleagues, students, and the public, usually accompanied by a
copy of Goldman's reply.  There are letters from historians such
as Charles Austin Beard, Henry Steele Commager, and Merle Eugene
Curti; journalists such as Walter Lippmann; entertainers such as
Arthur Godfrey; athletes such as Hank Aaron; and from numerous
authors, publishers, politicians, labor leaders, and Supreme
Court justices.  Topics include research inquiries, requests for
articles and book reviews, invitations to speak, and discussions
of historical points.  There are a few letters from Harry S.
Truman, who because of differing interpretations of his
presidential administration refused to let Goldman write his
biography.  The letters of Willis Kingsley Wing, Goldman's
literary agent, provide information on the production and
promotion of Goldman's writings.  The legal aspects of Goldman's
contracts are covered in the letters of Harriet F. Pilpel.

     The Subject File series documents the wide variety of
Goldman's activities.  Intending to collaborate on a book with
Jacob K. Javits, Goldman collected Javits's 1962 senatorial
campaign position papers on such topics as civil rights, the
economy, health, and education.  Goldman's lengthy association
with NBC-TV as host of the "Open Mind" program is represented by
transcripts of the broadcasts and correspondence pertaining to
the show's production and audience reaction.  Goldman was an
active participant in the Society of American Historians, serving
as president from 1962 to 1969.  His files on this organization
include minutes, speeches, and correspondence.  Topics chiefly
concern the group's annual dinners, its Allan Nevins Prize for
the year's best doctoral dissertation, and its Francis Parkman
Award for the year's outstanding book on American history.


     The largest portion of the Subject File series contains
material relating to Goldman's role as special consultant to
President Lyndon Johnson.  Goldman's function was to tap the
intellectual community for ideas, synthesize its input, and
suggest programs and policies.  He also provided historical
background data for the speeches of Lady Bird, Lynda, and Luci
Johnson.  The White House files contain correspondence, speeches,
and reports on the arts, domestic affairs, immigration,
international cooperation, poverty, Vietnam, and special programs
relating to White House scholars, fellows, and summer interns and
to a 1965 festival of the arts.  There are also transcripts of
interviews with early Johnson associates.  A section of
scrapbooks contains interoffice memoranda between Horace Busby,
Liz Carpenter, Goldman, Johnson, George E. Reedy, Jack Valenti,
and others, discussing proposals and policies.  Included is
Robert Lowell's 30 May 1965 letter of refusal to attend the
Festival of the Arts which triggered a controversy between
Johnson and the intellectual community.

     Chief correspondents in the Subject File series include
Bruce Catton, John Kenneth Galbraith, Kent Roberts Greenfield,
Richard Hofstadter, Lyndon B. and Lady Bird Johnson, Margaret
Mead, Adam Clayton Powell, Roger Revelle, Clinton Lawrence
Rossiter, Upton Sinclair, and Barbara Wertheim Tuchman.

     The Writings series contains contracts, correspondence,
drafts, promotional material, and royalty statements for
Goldman's articles, book reviews, books, and essays.  Background
material for Goldman's biography of Charles J. Bonaparte includes
three letters signed by Benjamin Harrison (1886), Theodore
Roosevelt (1907), and Charles J. Bonaparte (1905).  The section
pertaining to _Rendezvous With Destiny: A History of Modern
American Reform_ includes numerous unpublished charts.  Portions
of the book _The Crucial Decade: America, 1945-55_ were sent to
readers for verification, among whom were Dean Acheson, Lauren
Bacall, William F. Buckley, Dean Rusk, Adlai E. Stevenson, and
Strom Thurmond.  Other correspondents include Hugo LaFayette
Black and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

     Goldman intended to publish a book on the 1960s, which would
have completed a trilogy on modern American history.  While
researching the decade, he found his interest focusing on the
civil rights movement and began planning a second book on the
narrower subject.  Neither work was finished, but considerable
material relating to their preparation can be found in a portion
of the Writings series designated as "untitled."  Also
represented are Goldman's fictional works, various speeches, and
lectures from his popular American history course at Princeton
University.

     The Oversize series contains Goldman's White House
appointment signed by Lyndon Johnson and eight scrapbooks removed
from the Family Papers series.


                                    Part II

     Part II of the papers spans the years 1911-77 with the bulk
concentrated in the period 1959-64.  It is organized into Family
Papers and Writings, and arranged in similar order to Part I. 
Included are correspondence, drafts of writings, newspaper
articles, notes, and transcripts of court cases.

     The Family Papers series contains letters between Eric
Goldman and his father, Harry Goldman, about the care of his
mother, Bessie.

     The Writings series consists of correspondence, drafts, and
research material relating to Goldman's articles and books.  The
bulk of the material pertains to his unpublished book on the 1911
lynching of Zachariah Walker in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. 
Research material includes correspondence, newspaper articles,
notes, and transcripts of court cases.  The first chapter of the
book was published as an article titled "Summer Sunday" in the
June 1964 issue of _American Heritage_.  Also, there are drafts
of Goldman's unfinished memoir and a draft of an article on anti-
Semitism along with a commentary by H. L. Mencken.

     The Oversize series contains Goldman's file of note cards
removed from the Writings series.
