Papers of Theodore H. White

(Harvard University Archives)

American journalist Theodore H. White won the Pulitzer prize in 1962 for his book, The Making of the President. The notes that he took during travels in China were in very poor condition when they arrived at the University. They will require careful conservation if they are to be made available to researchers.
