Provenance

     By the terms of his will, Isaiah Bowman bequeathed to the Johns
Hopkins University "all my biographical and international conference
papers...relating to the Peace Conference at Paris, 1919, to the
Conference at Dumbarton Oaks in 1944 and to the United Nations
Conference at San Francisco in 1945."  These papers were brought to
the University in four locked safes and under the terms of the will,
closed to researchers until January l975.  These papers comprise
Series XIII through Series XVII of the papers.  Along with the locked
safes, the University received in 1950 "other unlocked cases of papers
and correspondence of a non-confidential nature."  These were the
nucleus of the Isaiah Bowman Papers.  In 1982 a group of Bowman's
personal papers were transferred from the Hamburger Archives.

     Dr. Bowman bequeathed to his son Robert G. Bowman, also a
geographer, his "professional" or "working" library consisting of 4000
books, journals and monographs and about 15,000 to 20,000 items of
correspondence, reprints, and papers.  In 1985, after some weeding,
Robert G. Bowman donated this additional material to the Johns Hopkins
University.  The books are in storage, but the manuscript material has
been incorporated into this collection.

 


Biographical Sketch

     (See next page)



Scope and Content Note

     The collection has not been completely processed.

     Isaiah Bowman's papers offer a fairly complete view of his many-
faceted professional life.  His early years as a teacher are reflected
in the class notebooks (1902-12) found in Box VII.1.  His early
geographical field work is represented by his field notebooks (1902-
41) in Boxes VIII.1 and VIII.2 and the photographs in Series X.

     Bowman's years as Director of the American Geographical Society
(1915-35) are not as well represented in the papers.  The best record
of this work, of course, would be through the American Geographical
Society archives.  However, Bowman's correspondence files in Series II
contain much that sheds light on the American Geographical Society
years. There is a scrapbook tribute to Bowman entitled "Amgraphics"
detailing his years with the Society. This is in Series I.

     Bowman's work (1935-48) as President of the Johns Hopkins
University is also under-represented.  His official records are housed
in the University's Hamburger Archives with the  University records.
Again, the correspondence in Series II contains letters from this
period.  His thoughts on educational administration also can be
gleaned from his speeches and writings in Series III.  His topical
files in Series V also have some material on education.

     Dr. Bowman was a member of several professional organizations or
commissions.  In Series VI is material on his work with the Economic
Cooperation Administration, the Council on Foreign Relations, the
National Academy of Sciences, the National Resource Board, the
National Research Council Science Advisory Board, the Office of
Scientific Research and Development, and the committee on the
Structure of the Maryland State Government.  These files are
augumented by correspondence in Series II.

     Several times during his career Isaiah Bowman served as an
advisor to the U.S. government.  He preserved the papers of each of
these missions separately. In 1919 Bowman was a member of the American
Commission to Negotiate Peace.  This work is well-documented with
correspondence, notes, printed material, scrapbooks, and memorabilia.
Bowman and his secretary Margaret O. Young divided this material into
topical categories, and these have been retained.  The file folder
headings are listed in the container list for Series XIII.  Access to
this series is restricted.  See Manuscripts Librarian.

     Bowman's second governmental mission was as an advisor to what
was known as the M-Project.  This project, begun in the early l940s,
was designed to study the relocation of refugees. 


The work of the project resulted in nearly 600 documents analyzing
geographic areas throughout the world for their potential in
supporting refugees.  As an advisor to the project, Bowman received
copies of the documents.  When the project closed down, the M-Project
office files were stored in Bowman's office at Johns Hopkins.  The M-
Project files in Series IX consist of the final reports, translations,
and lectures as well as the project's office files.

     During the 1940s Bowman also served as an advisor to the U.S.
State Department in several capacities.  When he completed these
missions, Bowman again sorted the material into topical categories.
The categories have been retained and are listed in the container
list.  Access to these materials is restricted.  See the Manuscripts
Librarian. Series XIV is the material on State Department committee
work.  Series XV contains the papers on the Edward Stettinius mission
to London in April l944. Series XVI contains Bowman's papers on the
Dumbarton Oaks conference in 1944, and Series XVII has the material on
his participatin in the San Francisco Conference which led to the
founding of the United Nations.

     Bowman was a prolific author.  Copies of many of his books and
articles can be found in Series IV.  He also constantly was collecting
material for future works.  These notes, abstracts of other works,
correspondence, memoranda, and book reviews were filed topically by
Bowman.  There appear to have been two separate topical systems, and
they have been intermingled in Series IV and V.

     Bowman was awarded many honorary degrees and awards, and these
are in Series XVIII.

                            SERIES DESCRIPTIONS

 

Series I Personal

     This series includes biographical material on Isaiah Bowman,
financial records, and some photographs.


Series II  General Correspondence

     This series is incoming and copies of outgoing letters arranged
alphabetically by correspondent.  This is not entirely complete as
Bowman often filed letters in the subject files he compiled for
research projects.  Some letters are filed in the Addresses, Speeches
(Series III), Writings (Series IV) and the Research Notes (Series V).


Series III Addresses, Speeches    14 boxes

     The speeches have been arranged chronologically by the date they
were given.  Included are drafts, revisions, corrected copies and if
published a copy of the reprint.  Often there is material relating to
the occasion on which the speech was delivered such as the invitation
and program as well as correspondence and materials relating to
Bowman's travel arrangements.

     Bowman also kept a file of "Pertinent Remarks."  These are typed
and are at the end of this series.

     There are also recordings of 4 speeches by Bowman.  Bowman's
speech to the MIT commencement on June 4, 1935 is recorded on 16 sides
of a metal-based long playing record.  His radio broadcast of February
24, 1941 to the Annual Conference of the National Association of
School Administrators is on 2 sides of a metal-based record.  "For
this We Fight" broadcast on WEAF June 12, 1943 is on two glass
records, one of which is broken.  "The Hutzler Program" of April 2,
1946 on WBAL featured Bowman, and a copy of the LP is in the
collection.

     This series contains most but not all Bowman's speeches.
Included are those for which manuscript material existed.  Copies of
speeches that were later published but for which there was no
manuscript drafts are in the bound volumes of Bowman's collected
writings in Series IV.
    
Series IV Writings   21 boxes

     This includes reprints and annotated copies of Bowman's published
articles and books as well as notes and printed material for future
revisions of these works.  These files also contain correspondence.
They are roughly arranged by title of the work.  There is some overlap
with Series V Research Notes.

     Especially well-represented is his research on "War & Peace."
The majority of this material is newspaper clippings (1940-49) with
some memoranda and copies of correspondence. This material was
probably collected for a book on war and peace or it could have been
collected as a result of his work for the Council on Foreign Relations
when he was the rapporteur for the Studies of American Interests in
the War and the Peace: Territorial Series.

     The War & Peace clippings were kept in two series. There are 11
volumes of clipped newspaper articles dating from 1942 to 1948.  In a
separate series of 7 volumes Bowman  saved the text of speeches or
documents that appeared in the newspaper.  The title of the article,
the name of the newspaper in which it appeared, and the date were
retained in this series.                           


Series V Research Notes   22 boxes

     These are materials presumably collected for future books or
articles.  They are arranged topically  and include abstracts of other
works, correspondence, notes by Bowman, and printed material. The
topics were maintained by Bowman's secretary Margaret O. Young.  There
are two separate sets of topic headings which have been intermingled.
No attempt was made to recreate the two separate sets of topics. See
Young's notebook in Box IV.21 for the two lists of topic headings.


Series VI Organizations, Commissions   6 boxes

     This is material from organizations Bowman belonged to or
commissions on which he served.  It includes reports, printed
material, and some correspondence.  Some of the correspondence from
these activities was filed in the General Correspondence Series II
under the name of the organization or the individual correspondent.
Descriptions of the most well-represented organizations are below.
     American Geographical Society

     Bowman's first association with the American Geographical Society
was when he participated in the Society's expedition to the Andes in
1913.  Correspondence relating to the expedition's organization is in
this series.  His book The Andes of Southern Peru (1916) was a result
of this work.

     In 1915 Bowman became Executive Director  of the American
Geographical Society and served until 1935. The official papers
relating to this work are the property of the Society, but some of his
work is reflected in this collection.  There is an elaborate
testimonial volume called "Amgraphics" which traces his 20 years in
photographs, drawings and text.  There is also some material on the
Society's history including photostatic copies of the 1914 membership
register.  After his departure Bowman was sent copies of Society
minutes for 1936-41, and in 1947 he was part of the long-range
planning committee for the Society.  Other materials concern the
Society's publication "Geographic Aspects of International Relations"
(1938) and papers on a stereoplotter, photogrammetry, and the proposed
research program of the Society's department of surveying.


     International Geographical Union

     Bowman was a member of the IGU and served as First Vice-President
in 1936.  In 1938 he was Chairman of the American Delegation to the
International Geographical Congress in Amsterdam.  The bulk of the
correspondence and printed materials deals with these periods.


     Commission of Inquiry into National Policy in International
     Relations

     Bowman served on this Commission which was appointed by the
Social Science Research Council.  Robert M. Hutchins was the Chairman.
The result of the Commission's work was a series of recommendations
which were published in November 1934.  The report and recommendations
were summarized for public distribution by the University of
Minnesota, and a copy of this briefer report is in this series.


     Council on Foreign Relations

     In December of 1939 the Council on Foreign Relations set up a
series of special groups to study the course of the war.  These groups
were to study how the war would affect the United States and to
develop proposals to safeguard U.S. interests in the settlement.
Isaiah Bowman served as the leader or rapporteur of the Territorial
Group from 1939 to [1940?].  The materials in this series are some
memoranda but mainly 34 reports put out by the Territorial Group.
These reports were issued under the title "Studies of American
Interests in the War and the Peace: Territorial Series."
Correspondence mentioning this Council on Foreign Relations work can
be found in Bowman's correspondence in Series II under the names of
his colleagues on the Territorial Group Philip E. Mosely, Hamilton
Fish Armstrong, John C. Cooper, Jr., Bruce C. Hopper, Owen Lattimore,
or William L. Westermann.  Norman H. Davis was the Chairman of the
Studies steering committee at this time.

     Bowman's work on territorial questions for the Council on Foreign
Relations is supplemented by his work on the M-Project Series IX and
the State Department Post-War Planning Committee in Series XIV.


     Pan-American Committees

     Bowman had several connections with various Pan-American
organizations in the early 1940s.  He agreed to be a member of the
Pan-American Trade Committee in 1940, and there is some material on
its organizational plans.  There is a small amount of material on
cultural exchanges among U.S. and Latin American university students.
Bowman embarked on a speaking tour of Latin
America under the auspices of the U.S. Department of State in the
summer of 1941.  Correspondence relating to this tour and other
cultural exchange activities is in this series.  Copies of the
speeches Bowman gave on this tour are with his speeches in Series III.
Photographs from this tour are in Series X.


     Economic Cooperation Administration

     As a result of his post-war planning activities with the
Department of State, Bowman was appointed Chairman of the Economic
Cooperation Administration's Advisory Committee on Oversees
Territories.  He served from 1949 until his death in January 1950.
There are minutes, "Weekly Summary of Developments," correspondence,
and Bowman's files on various areas.  The Investment Panel's research
and recommendations are well-represented.  There is also material on
the Public Advisory Committee on China and on Africa and Latin
America.  Bowman delivered a speech "ECA and the Bold New Program" to
the Council on Foreign Relations" on June 10, 1949.  A copy of this is
with the speeches in Series III.

     In this series is some material on the Marshall Plan 1947-49 and
"Point Four" which pre-dated the Economic Cooperation Administration. 

     National Research Council

     Bowman was active in several science research policy boards.  He
was Chairman of the National Research Council in 1933 when President
Roosevelt appointed him to the newly created Science Advisory Board of
the National Research Council.  There is correspondence (1933-35,
1937) as well as a Science Advisory Board report from the Committee on
Mapping.  There are reports and minutes (1933-35) from the general
National Research Council work as well.

 

     National Academy of Sciences

     The National Research Council was affiliated with the National
Academy of Sciences in which Bowman was active from 1933 until his
death.  In 1935 to 1936 he was a member of the Academy's Committee on
Governmental Relations and its sub-committee on soil conservation. In
1941 he was elected Vice-President of the Academy and served several
subsequent years on the nominating committee.  Bowman's Academy
correspondence (1933-48) reflects these many activities.


     National Science Foundation/Office of Scientific Research   and
Development

     Dr. Vannevar Bush had been asked in November 1944 by President
Roosevelt to study the possibility of extending the work of his
wartime Office of Scientific Research and Development to peacetime
activities.  Isaiah Bowman was asked to chair a subcommittee on
federal aid to scientific research after the war.  The Bowman
Committee report "On Government Aid to Science" was submitted to Bush
in May 1945.  Two copies of Bowman's report are in this series as well
as a copy of Bush's full report Science the Endless Frontier.

     One of the recommendations of these reports was the establishment
of a national research foundation. Correspondence and testimony (1945-
47) on the creation of the National Science Foundation are also in
this series.


     Efficiency Committees

     Bowman served several times on governmental efficiency
committees. In 1938 he was chairman of the Committee on the Structure
of the Maryland State Government.  The minutes, correspondence,
reports and newspaper clippings are in this series.

 

     In 1949 Bowman headed a commission to study the conservation laws
of the state of Maryland.  To do this work he reviewed the papers of
the Commission on the Conservation of Natural Resources which had been
headed by W.F. Schluderberg. Papers relating to the work of the
Schluderberg's Commission are in this series.

     Bowman served on the Natural Resources Committee of the
Commission on the Organization of the Executive Branch of the
Government 1948-49.  There are minutes, some correspondence and
reports of this committee work in this series.

 

 

Series VII Datebooks, Notebooks  l box

     This includes date or memoranda books for the period 1925-1935.
Also included are the class attendance/grade books that Bowman kept
for classes he taught from 1905-1912.


Series VIII Field Survey Notebooks  1 box

     These are notebooks kept by Bowman when doing field work.  They
are largely from the period 1902-1906, but there are some from the
1930s and 1941.


Series IX M-Project   16 boxes, 600 reports

     Bowman was an advisor for a White House funded project to study
relocation of refugees during the 1940s.  The director of the M-
Project was Henry Field.  When the project closed down, Field had the
files of the project shipped to Dr. Bowman.  A history of the project
was written by Field, and a copy is in Box IX.6.

     The material in this series is the office files of the project,
the results of the project, and Bowman's research files on the
scientific study of settlement.

     The office files of the M-Project are arranged topically and are
in Boxes IX.1 through IX.5.

     The purpose of the M-Project was to study areas of the world that
might be suitable for re-settling refugees.  The results of the
project were reports on these geographic areas.  There are both draft
reports and finalized ones which were mimeographed for distribution.
The draft reports are in Boxes IX.7 through IX. 10.  The mimeographed
reports were divided into Reports (163 items), Translations (122
items), Memoranda (345 items), and Lectures (47 items).  Abstracts of
all these items are in Field's history of the M-Project in Box IX.6.
It is best to consult the abstracts before requesting the items.
Following this description is a list of the items missing from the
Bowman Papers.

     Bowman was interested in re-settlement before the M-Project, and
his research files on the scientific study of settlement have been
added to this series. Bowman gave these files the number MF 902.3, and
in these files are reports that may have been generated by the M-
Project but sent to Bowman who re-filed them with his MF 902.3 files.
These are in Boxes IX.12 through
IX.16.

     In the General Correspondence Series II is correspondence between
Bowman and people associated the M-Project.  The names of
correspondnets known to have written about the M-Project are:
               Field, Henry
               Flexner, Bernard
               Fohs, F. Julius
               Gottman, Jean
