Materials of the same time periods may also be found in the Incremental Materials. Scope and Content of Incremental Materials The incremental materials of the Friedrich A. von Hayek papers constitute a significant part of the collection. The materials were received after Hayek's death from his family and his longtime secretary, Charlotte Cubitt. Consisting largely of correspondence, speeches and writings, notes, and digital word processing files, they document Hayek's career as an economist and his larger role as a public intellectual advocating free market principles and denouncing state intervention in matters of economic and social policy. The materials provide insight into the development of Hayek's thought as a leading figure of the Austrian School of Economics, and they also record the influence of his ideas on the political debates of his time, especially in the United States and Great Britain. The Correspondence series in the incremental materials include exchanges of letters with fellow economists, publishers, and individuals active in the institutions with which Hayek was associated. Among the latter are colleagues and officials at the universities (London School of Economics, University of Chicago) where Hayek taught, as well as fellow members of the Mont Pèlerin Society, an organization founded by Hayek and in which he played a leading role for many years. The series contain Hayek's correspondence with economists associated with the Institute of Economic Affairs (Ralph Harris and Arthur Seldon, among others) and British politicians influenced by his ideas, including Margaret Thatcher. There is also extensive correspondence between Hayek and William W. Bartley, the editor of his final book, The Fatal Conceit. The incremental materials also include a separate correspondence series relating to Charlotte Cubitt, which dates from the last period of Hayek's life when he was in declining health. The fourth increment includes correspondence among the Hayek family. The fifth increment contains a small amount of correspondence, primarily congratulations on Hayek's 92nd birthday and condolences to his family on his death, including condolences from President George H. W. Bush and Barbara Bush. Also of note is extensive correspondence with publishers regarding Hayek's works, notably The Road to Serfdom and The Fatal Conceit . The Speeches and Writings series in the incremental materials span nearly the whole of Hayek's prolific career as an author. They include early articles and book reviews, unpublished manuscripts on economics and psychology, and various prefaces and introductions prepared for foreign editions of his books. There are a number of speeches, as well as letters written to the editor of The Times of London. The series also contain drafts of such major works as The Road to Serfdom, the three volumes that comprise Law, Legislation and Liberty , and Hayek's final book, The Fatal Conceit . There are multiple versions of chapters of The Fatal Conceit, showing Hayek's corrections and revisions, and allowing for a comparison of Hayek's original conception of the work with its ultimate, published form, whose extensive editing has been the subject of some controversy. The fifth increment includes drafts and notes of Hayek's lectures and monographs. Of note are drafts of The Road to Serfdom , Law, Legislation, and Liberty, and and early draft of The Fatal Conceit. Also includes annotated copies of his works. Additionally, the Reviews of Works By and About Hayek series in the second part of the incremental materials collects commentary on many of Hayek's published works. There is an abundance of reviews of The Road to Serfdom, most dating from the time of its original publication, but also some relating to subsequent editions, including translations. These articles show the success that the book achieved with the general public as well as demonstrating its impact on editorial and scholarly opinion at the time. Register of the Friedrich A. von 86002 3 Hayek papers There is a significant amount of documentation on Hayek's personal and professional lives in the Biographical File series in the incremental materials. The second section contains many articles and clippings relating to Hayek, as well as some autobiographical writings, including a travel journal kept during a trip to France and Italy. In addition, there is a lengthy oral history consisting of extensive interviews with Hayek that were conducted by scholars under the auspices of the University of California at Los Angeles. There are also many clippings and other articles about Hayek in the Scrapbooks
