Content and structure
Scope and content: Series consists of chronological files of Andrew Crockett. Files contain mainly memoranda and correspondence written by Crockett for either internal or external parties, and occasionally the original letter or memorandum that prompted Crockett's response is also included. A few documents in this series were created by Research Department Director William Hood. Series covers a range of topics, but much of Crockett's chronological files concern his involvement with the production of the World Economic Outlook. Also, Crockett provided many references and recommendations for former colleagues, employees, or friends (in particular, he answered repeated requests for references from Maxwell J. Fry, Professor of Economics at several universities, including the University of California Irvine and UCLA). Files are arranged chronologically, and documents within each file are arranged in reverse chronological order.
