The purpose of developing this inventory is to create a database of historical materials for current and future research. Such an inventory does not currently exist and is being developed in conjunction with the centennial of the Federal Reserve System in 2013‐14. This inventory identifies materials that are currently available from a variety of sources, including the Board of Governors and Reserve Bank websites, the Federal Reserve Archival System for Economic Research (http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/about), university websites and collections, and other private collections. It also includes information about material that is not yet available online that will be considered for digitization and posting. The inventory will serve as a resource for researchers, academics, and others interested in studying the history of the nation’s central bank. The primary historical records of the Federal Reserve System are held by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), and the Federal Reserve Banks. Other public and private institutions, such as the Library of Congress, academic institutions, and regional and local historical societies, also hold a variety of historical materials related to the Federal Reserve System and to its leaders. The Federal Reserve System is asking historians, scholars, and other members of the public to identify and submit additional sources of Federal Reserve history. This version of the inventory is not complete at this time, but will be regularly updated and republished on Federal Reserve websites. Inclusion of new contributions in the inventory is dependent upon volume, prioritization, and the digitization process.

  • DIRECTING the Disorder the CFR Is the Deep State Powerhouse Undoing and Remaking Our World
    DEEP STATE DIRECTING THE Disorder The CFR is the Deep State powerhouse undoing and remaking our world. 2 by William F. Jasper The nationalist vs. globalist conflict is not merely an he whole world has gone insane ideological struggle between shadowy, unidentifiable and the lunatics are in charge of T the asylum. At least it looks that forces; it is a struggle with organized globalists who have way to any rational person surveying the very real, identifiable, powerful organizations and networks escalating revolutions that have engulfed the planet in the year 2020. The revolu- operating incessantly to undermine and subvert our tions to which we refer are the COVID- constitutional Republic and our Christian-style civilization. 19 revolution and the Black Lives Matter revolution, which, combined, are wreak- ing unprecedented havoc and destruction — political, social, economic, moral, and spiritual — worldwide. As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization.

  • Meet the New Boss, Same As the Old Boss (Part II)
    Samuel Miller CFA, CAIA Senior Analyst Deron T. McCoy CFA, CFP®, CAIA, AIF® Chief Investment Officer Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss (Part II) Four years ago in our December 2013 SEIA Report titled, “The Federal Reserve: Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss”, we offered reasons why analyzing the human makeup of the Board is so important (hint: they more or less set monetary policy for the world, affecting global capital markets everywhere). We opined that the new incoming Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen was very much in line with her predecessor and that her appointment was a “signal to all investors that easy monetary policy will be the policy of choice for the foreseeable future” and “short-term interest rates might be low for another three years extending through 2016.” We concluded by stating “Yellen’s policies should support ‘risk assets’ (Equities, High Yield Bonds, etc.) in the near term with her hopeful goal of higher inflation and economic overheating (not a typo) four years out which will in turn convolute her reappointment process (in 2017).” Four years have now passed and while we can claim victory on our assessment of the stock market, our view of an overheated economy came up a bit short. As such, the reappointment process caused nary a ripple in global markets as the new-new boss is the same as the old-old boss. Who is Jerome Powell? On November 2, 2017, President Trump nominated Jerome “Jay” Powell to be the next Fed chair, providing clarification for the market and lessening monetary policy uncertainty in the near and intermediate term.

  • The Transformation of Economic Analysis at the Federal Reserve During the 1960S
    The Transformation of Economic Analysis at the Federal Reserve during the 1960s by Juan Acosta and Beatrice Cherrier CHOPE Working Paper No. 2019-04 January 2019 The transformation of economic analysis at the Federal Reserve during the 1960s Juan Acosta (Université de Lille) and Beatrice Cherrier (CNRS-THEMA, University of Cergy Pontoise) November 2018 Abstract: In this paper, we build on data on Fed officials, oral history repositories, and hitherto under-researched archival sources to unpack the torturous path toward crafting an institutional and intellectual space for postwar economic analysis within the Federal Reserve. We show that growing attention to new macroeconomic research was a reaction to both mounting external criticisms against the Fed’s decision- making process and a process internal to the discipline whereby institutionalism was displaced by neoclassical theory and econometrics. We argue that the rise of the number of PhD economists working at the Fed is a symptom rather than a cause of this transformation. Key to our story are a handful of economists from the Board of Governors’ Division of Research and Statistics (DRS) who paradoxically did not always held a PhD but envisioned their role as going beyond mere data accumulation and got involved in large-scale macroeconometric model building. We conclude that the divide between PhD and non-PhD economists may not be fully relevant to understand both the shift in the type of economics practiced at the Fed and the uses of this knowledge in the decision making-process. Equally important was the rift between different styles of economic analysis. 1 I.

  • The Newberry Annual Report 2019–20
    The Newberry A nnua l Repor t 2019–20 30 Fall/Winter 2020 Letter from the Chair and the President Dear Friends and Supporters of the Newberry, The Newberry’s 133rd year began with sweeping changes in library leadership when Daniel Greene was appointed President and Librarian in August 2019. The year concluded in the midst of a global pandemic which mandated the closure of our building. As the Newberry staff adjusted to the abrupt change of working from home in mid-March, we quickly found innovative ways to continue engaging with our many audiences while making Chair of the Board of Trustees President and Librarian plans to safely reopen the building. The Newberry David C. Hilliard Daniel Greene responded both to the pandemic and to the civil unrest in Chicago and nationwide with creativity, energy, and dedication to advancing the library’s mission in a changed world. Our work at the Newberry relies on gathering people together to think deeply about the humanities. Our community—including readers, scholars, students, exhibition visitors, program attendees, volunteers, and donors—brings the library’s collection to life through research and collaboration. After in-person gatherings became impossible, we joined together in new ways, connecting with our community online. Our popular Adult Education Seminars, for example, offered a full array of classes over Zoom this summer, and our public programs also went online. In both cases, attendance skyrocketed, and we were able to significantly expand our geographic reach. With the Reading Rooms closed, library staff responded to more than 450 research questions over email while working from home.

  • Folklife Today September 2019: Chicago Ethnic Arts Project
    Folklife Today September 2019: Chicago Ethnic Arts Project Announcer: From the Library of Congress in Washington DC John Fenn: Welcome to the Folklife Today podcast. I’m John Fenn, and I’m here with my colleague Stephen Winick. Steve Winick: Hello! John Fenn: We’re both folklorists at the American Folklife Center here at the Library of Congress. I’m the head of Research and Programs, and Steve is the Center’s writer and editor, as well as the creator of the Folklife Today blog. Steve Winick: And today, we’re joined by several guests from the AFC to talk about an online collection of ours, the Chicago Ethnic Arts Project collection. This was the first of AFC's historic field projects, and the collection was digitized and then made available on the Library of Congress’s website just about two years ago. And a lot has been going on with it since, so, we've asked some of our colleagues to help us talk about it. Our first guest is our coordinator of Processing, Ann Hoog. Hi Ann! Ann Hoog: Hello! John Fenn: Ann, you know the collection quite well since you were involved in getting it ready for public online access. Where do we start? Ann Hoog: Well, let me first say that I do know it fairly well, but it is such an immense resource that I am still learning new things about it! But a good place to start is with the type of collection that it is – meaning, how it came to be. As you can tell by its name, the Chicago Ethnic Arts Project collection, represents materials from a cultural research and documentation project, or survey, that was undertaken in 1977.

  • Chapter Two. the Origin of the World Bank
    CHAPTER TWO. THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD BANK. CHAPTER TWO THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD BANK 2.1 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE WORLD BANK The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) is an institution, which was formed after the devastation of the economies of Europe, According to Harry Dexter White “No matter how long the war lasts nor how it is won, we shall be faced with three inescapable problems: to prevent the disruption of foreign exchange and the collapse of monetary and credit system to assure the restoration of foreign trade and to supply the huge volume of capital that will be needed virtually throughout the world for reconstruction, for relief and for economic recovery” 1. The idea of reconstruction was the first to be conceived, focusing only the involved allies in the war and not the rest of less developed countries. Together with its sister institution, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), they were established 2. By December 31, 1945, 29 countries had approved the bank’s Articles of Agreement. In March 1946, the board of governors of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund were inaugurated in Savannah, where they adopted the institutions’ statute and elected the bank's executive directors. The board first met on May 7, 1946. The bank’s first president, Eugene Meyer, took office on June 18, and the bank opened its world headquarters at 1818 H Street, NW, Washington, DC, on June 25 1 946. They are what have come to be known as Bretton Woods institutions. But, later there was a greater need for the 73 IBRD to widen its goal by thinking beyond reconstruction.

After the United Kingdom suspended convertibility of sterling into gold (the bedrock of orthodox financial principles) in September 1931, American economic policymakers, including President Hoover and Eugene Meyer, governor of the Federal Reserve Board, became , increasingly unorthodox in their prescriptions. Although central planning measures of the corporate state variety had manifested k themselves vigorously but briefly in policymaking circles during and immediately after World War I, the Harding, Coolidge, and early Hoover years were supposed to be a return to prewar anormalcy,m as the slogan associated with Barding's campaign had it.

  • Final Report
    ____________________________________________________ National Digital Stewardship Residency | NDSR Art Final Report July 2019 Molly Szymanski Host: The Art Institute of Chicago ​ Project: Capturing the Museum Experience: Saving Electronic ​ Media in the Galleries ______________________________________________ Project Overview ________________________________________________________________ As the NDSR Art resident at The Art Institute of Chicago (AIC), my project was focused on building a digital archiving and preservation program through the case study of born-digital materials related to visitor experience at the museum. I was hosted by Ryerson and Burnham Libraries at AIC, which houses the Institutional Archive collection. Like many art museums with contemporary collections items, AIC had begun to build capacity and time-based media initiatives focused on preserving digital art items. Less widely addressed across museums and other cultural heritage institutions was the preservation of other complex art-information objects. These materials include audio tours, digital art labels, video presentations, and interactive touchscreens that enhance the gallery experience and contain valuable research, art documentation, and contextual information. The current institutional Digial Asset Management System (DAMS) does not ingest content that is not related directly to collection objects, and as a result these digital items were not being systematically collected, indexed, and preserved for long-term access. Therefore, the residency project was also focused on developing procedures for acquisition and ingest into a digital repository. During the first half of the residency, significant progress was made to understand and document the current institutional capacity for digital preservation and digital archiving. The project activities listed in this report have supported and provided valuable quantitative and qualitative context to this understanding.
