  • The Office of Strategic Services
    THE AMERICAN ARCHIVIST Tracking Intelligence Information: The Office of Strategic Services Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/61/2/287/2749132/aarc_61_2_fj0j77432841j855.pdf by guest on 28 September 2021 Jennifer Davis Heaps Abstract Created during World War II, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was the United States' first centralized intelligence agency, comprising research and analysis as well as various clandestine operations. The new agency accumulated massive amounts of information from open and secret sources and maintained such information in the form of reports, maps, charts, memos, photographs, and other kinds of documentation. A unit within the OSS Research and Analysis Branch, the Central Information Division, collected most of these documents and managed their use for intelligence analysis with the creation of an intricate card indexing system. The Central Information Division's careful tracking of information made possible present-day archival use of the cards and the records they index. Introduction n September 1944 the American government learned from a British source that Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering had apparently been un- Ider the influence of drugs while meeting German officers. It was also reported that Goering sported a "gold embroidered green silk shirt, violet silk stockings, and black patent leather pumps." Hair dyed "an appropriate Nordic yellow," rouge on his cheeks, penciled eyebrows, and a monocle com- pleted his ensemble. He appeared to have been in a stupor, "like a jellyfish." This colorful information traveled from at least one captured German officer to an anonymous British source to the American chief of the Military Intel- The author acknowledges the assistance of many NARA colleagues.

  • Sherman Kent, Scientific Hubris, and the CIA's Office of National Estimates
    Inman Award Essay Beacon and Warning: Sherman Kent, Scientific Hubris, and the CIA’s Office of National Estimates J. Peter Scoblic Beacon and Warning: Sherman Kent, Scientific Hubris, and the CIA’s Office of National Estimates Would-be forecasters have increasingly extolled the predictive potential of Big Data and artificial intelligence. This essay reviews the career of Sherman Kent, the Yale historian who directed the CIA’s Office of National Estimates from 1952 to 1967, with an eye toward evaluating this enthusiasm. Charged with anticipating threats to U.S. national security, Kent believed, as did much of the postwar academy, that contemporary developments in the social sciences enabled scholars to forecast human behavior with far greater accuracy than before. The predictive record of the Office of National Estimates was, however, decidedly mixed. Kent’s methodological rigor enabled him to professionalize U.S. intelligence analysis, making him a model in today’s “post- truth” climate, but his failures offer a cautionary tale for those who insist that technology will soon reveal the future. I believe it is fair to say that, as a on European civilization.2 Kent had no military, group, [19th-century historians] thought diplomatic, or intelligence background — in fact, their knowledge of the past gave them a no government experience of any kind. This would prophetic vision of what was to come.1 seem to make him an odd candidate to serve –Sherman Kent William “Wild Bill” Donovan, a man of intimidating martial accomplishment, whom President Franklin t is no small irony that the man who did D.

Franklin Jameson in the National Archives: 1908-19341 Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/12/2/99/2742928/aarc_12_2_q6823q7k77586788.pdf by guest on 03 October 2021 By FRED SHELLEY The Library of Congress HE recently resigned Archivist of the United States, Dr. Buck, was once heard to remark that while nearly every other Tagency had a historical staff attached to it during the war years, the National Archives had no historian for those as well as for earlier years. It ought to be clearly stated that its historian, even unofficially, does not here present himself. There is here purported to be a delineation of the interest of J. Franklin Jameson in the creation of the National Archives, not a formal or informal history of the agency, nor (save incidentally) of the interests of other persons in the Archives, nor one of those rather frightening lists of all the bills ever introduced in Congress concerning archives, nor a step by step architectural account of the construction of the building in which the organization has grown to its present stature. The interest of one man, his activities, and the results of his en- deavors are central to these attentions. Yet such was the endless persistence of this man, and such his selfless perseverance, that ac- counting for his interest tells most of the whole story. 1 These lines are based almost exclusively on the personal letters of Dr.

  • Robert C. Darnton Shelby Cullom Davis ‘30 Professor of European History Princeton University
    Robert C. Darnton Shelby Cullom Davis ‘30 Professor of European History Princeton University President 1999 LIJ r t i Robert C. Darnton The French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu once remarked that Robert Damton’s principal shortcoming as a scholar is that he “writes too well.” This prodigious talent, which arouses such suspicion of aristocratic pretension among social scientists in republican France, has made him nothing less than an academic folk hero in America—one who is read with equal enthusiasm and pleasure by scholars and the public at large. Darnton’ s work improbably blends a strong dose of Cartesian rationalism with healthy portions of Dickensian grit and sentiment. The result is a uniquely American synthesis of the finest traits of our British and French ancestors—a vision of the past that is at once intellectually bracing and captivatingly intimate. fascination with the making of modem Western democracies came easily to this true blue Yankee. Born in New York City on the eve of the Second World War, the son of two reporters at the New York Times, Robert Damton has always had an immediate grasp of what it means to be caught up in the fray of modem world historical events. The connection between global historical forces and the tangible lives of individuals was driven home at a early age by his father’s death in the Pacific theater during the war. Irreparable loss left him with a deep commitment to recover the experiences of people in the past. At Phillips Academy and Harvard College, his first interest was in American history.

The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

Not all of Elizabeth’s subjects agreed with this assessment. John Clapham, a treasury clerk, notes in his memoirs that at the Queen’s funeral others again complained that they could not lightly be in worse state than they were; considering that the people gen- erally were much impoverished by continual subsidies and taxes, besides other exactions of contributions extorted by corrupt officers; that little or no equality was used in those impositions, the meaner sort commonly sustaining the greater burden and the wealthier no more than themselves listed to bear; that wrongs now and then were bolstered out by authority or winked at for private respects; that many privileges had passed under her name for the benefit of some particular men, to the detriment of the commonwealth.
