Series I. Director's Files, 1971-2013, inclusive

This series consists of records generated by the director's office and its staff. These records are related to both the administration of the Institute as well as non-Institute matters associated with the professional career of the director. Richard Sennett generated the majority of the early documents in this series. Many of these files relate to his career as an academic and a writer outside of his capacity as director, such as correspondence with publishers and conference organizers. Most of the materials from accretions were created by subsequent directors. These files consist of Executive Committee meeting minutes and correspondence, by-laws and certificate of incorporation, budgets, annual reports, other committee meeting minutes and correspondence (including the Membership Committee, Program Committee, and the Fellowship Committee), and general correspondence.
