BOX 12-79 Federal Career, 1925-1953
The Federal Career series documents Evans's involvement in the Work Projects Administration Historical Records Survey (HRS) and UNESCO, and his career at the Library of Congress. The work of the HRS is documented mostly through correspondence, memoranda, and writings, and frequently deals with personnel issues, planning, and projects, including the American imprints inventory, American portrait survey, and “Annotated Bibliography of American History.” The Francis S. Philbrick letter file contains information on early HRS planning. The bulk of the UNESCO files document meetings, beginning with records of the 1945 meetings to establish the organization, and continuing to 1953. Files for each meeting often include Evans's notes on the participants and matters discussed. No material in the collection documents Evans's tenure as UNESCO director-general. The Library of Congress files largely document his role as director of the Legislative Reference Service and contain many notes he maintained throughout his career at the Library, including as librarian, from 1939 to 1953. The "slip notes" contain short memoranda to Evans from secretarial staff regarding phone messages, meetings, reminders, and other day-to-day business. The series also documents Evans's involvement in the drafting and adoption by UNESCO of the 1952 Universal Copyright Convention.
Material types include correspondence, press releases, reports, news clippings, articles, manuals, notes, photographs, newsletters, agendas, meeting minutes, programs, diaries, financial documents, and printed matter.
Arranged alphabetically by subject.
