Scope and Contents of Collection The papers of Leonard P. Liggio in the Hoover Institution Library & Archives document Liggio's career as an economic historian and classical liberal scholar. He was consistent in holding free market and libertarian views throughout his life, and promoted these ideas not only in academic writings but as a journalist, conference organizer and fund raiser. He was associated with the Libertarian Party and with numerous free market organizations in the United States and abroad, among them the Institute for Humane Studies at George Mason University, Cato Institute, Liberty Fund, Philadelphia Society, Institute of Economic Affairs, Templeton Foundation, Mont Pelerin Society and Atlas Economic Research Foundation (subsequently Atlas Network). The Liggio Papers in the Hoover Institution do not cover his life comprehensively. They are most detailed on Liggio's activities during the 1960s and 1970s, with spottier coverage of those after 1980. An interesting feature of Liggio's early development lay in what he felt to be a convergence between Old Right and New Left interpretations of American history. One illustration of this came in 1971, when, with the Vietnam War in the background, he organized a New Deal Foreign Policy Symposium, bringing together revisionist historians of both persuasions. The collection is arranged in ten series. The Correspondence series indicates the range of Liggio's collegial contacts during the 1960s and 1970s in particular. The Speeches and Writings series consists of Liggio's own writings. A large proportion of these are unpublished. Liggio was closely associated with Murray Rothbard and the collection includes extensive drafts by Liggio for Rothbard's two-volume history of the United States, Conceived in Liberty. The Conferences File documents several conferences in which Liggio had a hand, the New Deal Foreign Policy Symposium as well as others. More unpublished scholarly writings by other persons are to be found in the Writings by Others file. The Mont Pelerin Society File consists of the circulated records of the Society distributed to members. Liggio served a term as president of the Society. There are also a Biographical File, a Subject File, a file of Printed Matter, a small Audiovisual File and an Oversize File. The Hoover Institution Library & Archives acquired the Leonard P. Liggio Papers from the Atlas Network in 2018. Register of the Leonard P.
