Scope and Contents
The Samuel W. Jameson papers contain the thousands of articles on Asia he contributed to the Chicago tribune, Los Angeles times and other publications; correspondence; notes from interviews; and materials collected by Jameson for use in his writings. His writings principally concern Japanese current events, politics and economics; and contain varying amounts of similar information on Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Taiwan, and other Asian countries. The papers include over 3700 photographic negatives, over 3600 prints from those negatives, hundreds of color slides, and digital images. An important segment of these photographs are the images taken during Jameson’s trips to Vietnam and other countries in Southeast Asia in the 1960s.The papers also contain several hundred sound recordings, chiefly of speeches by Japanese politicians, government officials and business executives. The Jameson papers are an important resource for the study of Asian (especially Japanese) politics, economics and history.
