John A. DeNovo Papers
Collection
Identifier: GTM-19930322
Author of the 1963 work American Interests and Policies in the Middle East, 1900-1939, DeNovo assembled a collection consisting primarily of research materials for a proposed second volume to cover the years from 1939 to 1950. There are extensive research notes and correspondence about the role of Harold Ickes in the development of oil policy and Arabia, as well as on the Middle East origins of the Cold War.
The collection consists of drafts, notes and outlines, bibliographies, published papers, lecture files, correspondence with other scholars, book reviews, and copies of documents. It includes photographic slides taken by DeNovo documenting a 1963 trip to the Middle East, literature collected by DeNovo on the trip, and one photograph of DeNovo and others at the Summer Institute (American Association for Middle Eastern Studies). It also includes an unidentified audio reel and some unidentified microfilm.
This collection is currently unprocessed and access to it may therefore be limited. Researchers are advised to contact the Booth Family Center for Special Collections for more information on access to this collection.
