Correspondence, 1919-1992, bulk 1930-1970

Scope and content:

Academic and professional correspondence. This series includes Hamilton's activities as professor at Duke University, Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and the State University of New York at Binghamton. It covers his entire academic career and the research projects he worked on: Prices and Wages in Spain, History of the Bank of Spain, and John Law. His research activities are reflected in the files "International Scientific Committee on Price History", "Archivists, Librarians and Research Assistants", "Letters from Spain", "Miguel Bordonau Mas", and "Simon Hart", as well as in the chronological and alphabetical folders.

The series also documents his role as a founding member and president of the Economic History Association, his membership in the Committee on Research in Economic History, and his position as editor of the Journal of Political Economy.

In addition to correspondence, these files include invoices from booksellers, financial records related to research projects, transcription of historical documents, offprints, and comments on writing by others.

Arrangement:

Arranged into two sets: chronological and alphabetical. The alphabetical set is intended to cover Hamilton's most frequent correspondents, as well as prominent economists and economic historians whose work and interests were closely aligned with his. Some overlap may occur between the two sets.
