Papers of David Davidson, a novelist and writer for motion pictures and television. Davidson's career as a dramatist began during the era of live television drama, and the collection includes correspondence, notes, and scripts for anthologies such as Alcoa Hour (NBC), Armstrong Circle Theatre (CBS and NBC), Elgin Hour (ABC), Ford Theatre (NBC), Kraft Television Theatre (NBC), Motorola TV Hour (ABC), Playhouse 90 (CBS), Studio One (CBS), and United States Steel Hour (CBS), and for such later series as The Defenders (ABC), FDR (ABC), and Saints and Sinners (NBC). Of particular interest are the materials on The Ship That Wouldn't Die: The USS Franklin, an NBC special for which Davidson won a Screen Writers Guild award in 1970, and his resumes of the writing and production of each teleplay. Correspondence, research material, notes, and scripts pertain to a number of documentary films; of special interest here are five films written for the U.S.I.A. on such topics as the Warren Commission and the Vietnam War. Also included are typescripts of three novels based on his post-war experiences with the Office of Inter-American Affairs in Germany, Great Britain, and Latin America, and scripts and research materials on We Have Landed on the Moon, a recorded history of the U.S. space program.

Biography/History
David Davidson was born in New York, and received degrees from City College and Columbia University. For ten years he was a newspaperman in the U.S. and abroad. He published a few short stories, attempted a play, and had produced nearly two thousand radio scripts. From 1942 until 1945, he was with the Office of Inter-American Affairs in South America, Washington, and New York; and for the following year, he traveled in Germany, helping to build an anti-Nazi press. He came home and wrote the first of three novels, each about Americans in one or more of the countries in which he had lived: The Steeper Cliff, 1947 (Germany); The Hour of Truth, 1949 (South American countries); and In Another Country, 1950 (England, where he had lived in 1931 while on a traveling scholarship from Columbia). His first television play was produced in 1950; after that time he wrote several serious and semi-documentary dramas each year, chiefly for such shows as Playhouse 90, Alcoa Theatre, Kraft TV Theatre, Armstrong Circle Theatre, and The Elgin Hour. The death of many of these anthology programs appears to have forced him into new directions: in 1962 he wrote three scripts for the Saints and Sinners series, and three for the FDR series, which was scheduled for late 1963.
He and his wife, Hilde, lived in New York City. They had one daughter, Carla, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin.
Scope and Content Note
The David Davidson Papers are organized in two parts. Part 1 consists of materials received in the archives in 1962-1963. Designated the Original Collection, these papers date 1950-1962 and consist of typescripts of television plays (primarily written for series) and a few letters, notes, and clippings. A brief history (resumé) by Davidson of the writing and production of the work is filed with each title. The papers in Part 1 are arranged alphabetically by title of the episode. The papers concerning the FDR series are listed under “Roosevelt” The several episodes present for Saints and Sinners are grouped together under “S” At the end of Part 1 are Miscellaneous Clippings, as well as a list of Davidson's professional credits compiled in 1962.
Part 2 is designated the Additions and consists of papers received in the Archives between 1964 and 1970. The papers date 1945 to 1969. This addition is arranged in four subseries: NOVELS, TELEVISION, MOTION PICTURES, and RECORDINGS.
NOVELS is organized chronologically and contains typescripts for The Steeper Cliff (1947), The Hour of Truth (1949), and In Another Country (1950).
The subseries TELEVISION contains materials from both produced and unproduced programs and is organized alphabetically by title. For most titles there are correspondence, notes, scripts, and revisions. Particularly helpful to the researcher are the resumés written by Davidson for each production; they succinctly explain the background of each script. Box 14 contains comprehensive materials on The Ship That Wouldn't Die: The USS Franklin, a script for which Davidson won the 1970 Writers' Guild award for television writing.
MOTION PICTURES are also organized alphabetically and contain both produced and unproduced films. Here are several scripts for documentaries done for the United States Information Agency, as well as scripts written for the AFL-CIO, the New York Telephone Company, and the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Finally, RECORDINGS contains correspondence, scripts and extensive research materials for the narration of the disc recording We Have Landed on the Moon. This is a recorded history of the United States space program. The disc publication itself is also included.
