Papers of Edward Tomlinson, an author, journalist, and radio broadcaster who specialized in coverage of Latin American affairs. The bulk of the collection consists of radio scripts and writings, many in draft form, for magazines and newspapers. Of the articles, 34 were written during World War II for Collier's, for which he was Latin American correspondent and then associate editor. Also included are articles and book ideas and a file of news releases, 1938-1959, primarily for the Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance. The scripts pertain to Three Star Extra; The Other Americas, a program on Latin American music and culture produced by Tomlinson during the 1930s; Paths to Prosperity, a short series on the United States and the world economy, Pan American conferences at Montevideo in 1933, Buenos Aires in 1936, Lima in 1938, and Rio de Janeiro in 1942; and general NBC news coverage of Latin American domestic affairs and foreign relations, circa 1930-1949. The remainder of the collection is made up of biographical material, correspondence (prominent correspondents include Cordell Hull and Mike Mansfield), speeches, and reviews of Look Southward, Uncle (1959). There is also a set of notebooks, circa 1960-1970, and typed notes of confidential conversations concerning the Argentine political situation in 1957.
