                            SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE



      The papers of Reinhold Niebuhr span the years 1907-1994,
with the bulk of the material concentrated in the period from the
1930s through the 1980s.  The collection portrays the range of
Niebuhr's work and his influence in twentieth-century theology,
politics, and society.  Included are correspondence, articles,
sermons, reviews, lectures, typescripts of books, biographical
material, printed matter, and miscellaneous items.  Several
separate additions to Niebuhr's papers have been received and
appended to the original collection.  These additions are listed
and described in the order of their receipt in the Manuscript
Division.

      Correspondence with a wide array of theologians, political
leaders, academicians, literary figures, and diverse community
leaders and organizations comprises a substantial portion of the
papers.  Focusing chiefly on Niebuhr's theological interests and
work, much of the material relates his  efforts to apply religion
and ethical standards to social and political problems.  Two such
examples, represented in depth, are the papers concerning the
Delta Cooperative Farm and the Committee on Economic and Racial
Justice.  Some of the prominent or frequent correspondents
include W. H. Auden, Jacques Barzun, John C. Bennett, Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, Tom C. Clark, Henry S. Coffin, James B. Conant,
Sherwood Eddy, Dwight David Eisenhower, T. S. Eliot, Felix
Frankfurter, Hubert H. Humphrey, James Pike, Samuel D. Press,
William Scarlett, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., Adlai E. Stevenson,
Paul Tillich, Henry P. Van Dusen, and Willem Adolph Visser't
Hooft.  Also included is a sizable amount of correspondence with
such organizations as Americans for Democratic Action, Commission
on the Freedom of the Press, National Council of the Churches of
Christ in the U. S. A., Union for Democratic Action, and the
World Council of Churches.

      There are numerous outlines of sermons delivered by Niebuhr
and typescripts of articles ranging in subject matter from
national and international political affairs to labor and race
relations, theology, and economics.  There are also typescripts
and related correspondence dealing with book reviews Niebuhr
wrote for the _New York Times_, _Saturday Review_, _New
Republic_, and other publications.  Typescripts of three of
Niebuhr's books, _Man's Nature and His Communities_, _Pious and
Secular America_, and _The Self and the Dramas of History_, are
also included.

      The collection also contains outlines of class lectures,
engagement calendars, bibliographies of Niebuhr's published
works, and miscellaneous oversize materials.  

      Papers presented to the Library by June Bingham relate to
her research conducted while preparing a biography of Niebuhr,
_Courage to Change: An Introduction to the Life and Thought of
Reinhold Niebuhr_, and include her correspondence as well as
assorted correspondence by Niebuhr which she collected.

      Addition III is composed primarily of correspondence,
subject files, and writings collected and maintained by Ursula
Niebuhr.  Although the papers include a few letters to and from
Niebuhr during the last years of his life, the material consists
chiefly of Ursula Niebuhr's correspondence with academic
colleagues, researchers, and family friends.  Also of interest
are letters from her friends and colleagues in England describing
conditions there during World War II.  Subject files contain
research material collected by the Niebuhrs, biographical
clippings, information on colleagues, and material related to
researchers studying Niebuhr, including a group of letters
exchanged with Richard Fox and others relating to his 1985 book,
_Reinhold Niebuhr: A Biography_.  The writings file includes
articles, addresses, notes, reviews and other miscellaneous
writings by Niebuhr.  Prominent or frequent correspondents
include John Barnes, John C. Bennett, Sir Isaiah Berlin, Jimmy
Carter, Paul Clasper, Sir Richard Stafford Cripps and Isobel
Cripps, T. S. Eliot, Felix Frankfurter, John King Gordon and Ruth
Gordon, Ronald O. Hall, Will Herberg, Hubert H. Humphrey,
Franklin Littell, Daniel P. Moynihan, Alan Paton, D. B.
Robertson, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., Ronald Stone, Hugh and
Geraldine Van Husen, and Ernest Llewellyn Woodward.  

      Addition IV also includes a significant group of family
correspondence and professional files of Ursuala Niebuhr. 
Letters exchanged by Reinhold and Ursula Niebuhr during the 1930s
comprise the bulk of the family correspondence and provide
insight into Niebuhr's political and social activities. 
Highlights in the correspondence include Niebuhr's descriptions
of activities relating to his Gifford lectures at the University
of Edinburgh (1939), his travels to Germany with the U.S.
Commission on Cultural Affairs in Occupied Territories (1946),
and other trips to Europe during the late 1940s.  Also included
are letters Niebuhr received from his brother, H. Richard
Niebuhr, during the 1930s.  In 1991, Ursula Niebuhr edited and
published much of this correspondence in _Remembering Reinhold
Niebuhr_ ([San Francisco]: HarperSanFrancisco).  Ursula Niebuhr's
professional files include correspondence, articles, essays,
newspapers columns, speeches, lectures, prayers, and sermon
outlines.  The correspondence relates to theological and personal
matters and includes a scattering of letters by her husband. 
Significant or frequent correspondents include Tony Benn, Isobel
Cripps, Sam H. Franklin, George Frost Kennan, Theodore (Teddy)
Kollek, Martin E. Marty, Archibald MacLeish, Norman Mailer,
George S. McGovern, Hans J. Morgenthau, Oliver Sacks, Arthur M.
Schlesinger, Jr., and Margaret Stansgate.

      Other collections in the Manuscript Division which contain
papers of Reinhold Niebuhr include those of Raymond Leslie Buell,
Fund for the Reinhold Niebuhr Award, Hans J. Morgenthau, Paul F.
and Claire G. Sifton, and Charles P. Taft.
