Scope and content:

Documents various aspects of Price's political and academic careers. Political files illuminate Price's ties to other prominent Democrats and his work on the Democratic Party's behalf, chiefly through correspondence, while academic files concern Price's academic administrative responsibilities, chiefly at Duke University and less often at Yale University; some materials pertain to personal activities such as Price's leave of absence, including fellowship applications, course syllabi, and course evaluations. Other items, such as departmental newsletters and other materials, give a larger picture of Price's academic environment. One file relates to the controversy over whether Duke should host the Richard M. Nixon Presidential Library. While correspondence is scattered throughout the Pre-Congressional Papers, this series contains several folders devoted almost entirely to correspondence. These letters to and from Price cover both personal and political topics, with the latter most often about fundraising.

The series is roughly arranged alphabetically by topic.
