Scope and Content Note
The papers of Owen Lattimore (1900-1989) span the years
1907-1997, with the bulk of the items concentrated in
the period from 1950 to 1989. The collection relates
to both private and professional matters and is arranged
in seven series, the largest of which--constituting
one-third of the collection--is General Correspondence.
The Wartime Activities series includes records documenting
Lattimore's service as a political advisor to Chiang
Kai-shek, director of the Pacific Operations of the
United States War Information Office, and a member of
the United States Reparations Mission to Japan. Another
large series, Senate Hearings, contains correspondence
and records documenting Lattimore's defense against
Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy's charges that he
participated in communist espionage during the 1940s.
Also in the collection is a Speeches and Writings series
that includes articles, book reviews, and texts of Lattimore's
speeches and lectures. Notable in the Miscellany series
are Lattimore's handwritten journals on his pioneer
trips to the inner-Asian borderlands during the 1920s
and 1930s. The remaining series are titled: Subject
File, Eleanor Holgate Lattimore File, Addition, and
Oversize.
Records in the collection chronicling Lattimore's field
research and travels in Peiping (China), Mongolia, and
Manchuria during the 1920s and 1930s are particularly
comprehensive. In addition to the aforementioned journals,
the Subject File contains transcribed notes of Lattimore's
ethnographic, historical, and cultural observations
made during his travels, including information on the
languages and dialects of the region. Lattimore's extensive
travels in Asia provided the basis for many of his writings,
which together with the related correspondence with
publishers, form another strong element of the collection.
Among these writings is an unpublished and incomplete
autobiographical sketch, "Happiness Is Among Strangers."
Another integral component of the collection is Owen
and Eleanor Lattimore's expansive correspondence, both
incoming and outgoing, with colleagues, family, and
friends. Many Oriental and Asian scholars, publishers,
and professional colleagues are represented, including
Isabel Casseres, Lauchlin Bernard Currie, Diluv Khutagt,
Ildikó Ecsedy, Else Glahn, Elvebeuck Grebenik, Walther
Heissig, Caroline Humphrey, Fujiko Isono, John Ulric
Nef, Robert P. Newman, Urgunge Onon, Edgar B. Snow,
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, and Arnold Joseph Toynbee. There
is also considerable correspondence of many of Lattimore's
personal friends and advisors, including Joseph Barnes,
Robert LeMoyne Barrett, Arnold Bernhard, Stanley H.
Burton, Rosemary Carruthers, G. Herbert Childs, John
King Fairbank, Joseph Needham, Gerard Piel, and Margaret
L. Richards. There is lengthy correspondence with his
son David and his brother Richard, as well as letters
of his lawyers and accountants, especially William Dill
Rogers and Nancy K. Mintz, which document his investments,
estate settlements, establishment of the Lattimore Institute
for Mongolian Studies, and litigious fallout from his
Senate investigations.
Material documenting Lattimore's appointment by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt as an advisor to the Chinese Nationalist
government in Chungking during World War II is scant.
Although there are summaries of conversations, biographical
assessments, and advisory reports prepared for Chiang
Kai-shek, these files are incomplete. Of particular
importance, however, is the considerable correspondence
between Lattimore and Lauchlin Bernard Currie of the
State Department concerning the war against Japan and
the problems of American assistance to the Chinese war
effort. There is evidence that late in his life Lattimore,
with the assistance of his lawyers and Robert P. Newman,
sought to obtain through the Freedom of Information
Act copies of government records documenting his tenure
in Chungking, to supplement and complete his personal
papers.
Files documenting the Senate's investigation of espionage
and conspiracy charges against Lattimore are extensive.
In 1950 Joseph R. McCarthy described Lattimore as the
"chief architect" of a United States foreign policy
that resulted in the Communist party's conquest of mainland
China. McCarthy accused Lattimore of being the "top
Soviet agent in the United States." Lattimore denied
the charges, and a Senate committee initially vindicated
him. Additional accusations were made a year later,
however, and the Justice Department twice brought indictments
against Lattimore on perjury charges stemming from his
earlier testimony. The indictments were later dismissed
in federal court. Preserved in the Senate Hearings series
is correspondence with Lattimore's legal advisors, academic
colleagues, and the public concerning the testimony.
Also available are an extensive file of newspaper clippings
and magazine articles, reports, hearing transcripts,
motions, memoranda, opinions, and other documents relating
to the perjury charges and Congressional investigation.
Related Material
Researchers may wish to consult collections of Lattimore's
papers preserved at other depositories, including the
archives of Johns Hopkins University, University of
Leeds, and Dartmouth College. Records documenting Lattimore's
association with the American Institute of Pacific Relations
and its journal Pacific Affairs, which Lattimore edited
from 1934 to 1941, can be found at Columbia University.
While the Library of Congress does have many books authored
by Lattimore, his personal library was donated to the
Brotherton Library at the University of Leeds, and his
collection of Oriental anthropological artifacts was
deposited with the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology at Harvard University.
