Research, 1923-1981
- Scope and content:
-
The Research series complements the Publications series, as Fetter used these research files for many different projects. The Alphabetical Files subseries, organized by topic, reflects his personal and professional interests and holds the body of reference material he collected throughout his career. Much of this material deals with English banking history, and includes files on Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, the bullion controversy, and tariff issues. Examples of other interests are also in these files, including his debunking efforts concerning the inscriptions on the Christ of the Andes monument and on the Jefferson Memorial. Other materials of interest are the de Tocqueville files, and his efforts at cataloging the economic references in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. A second alphabetical subseries of index cards and microfilm contain research on many topics of interest to him. The Research on Published Articles and Pamphlets subseries complements the Published Articles and Pamphlets subseries in the Publications series and contains correspondence and background research for the articles and book reviews.
