contributions to the Bobbs-Merrill Company reprint series and items depicting F.A. Davis Company's interest in

This subseries, related to articles written by Merton, is organized into the following sections: administrative; book reviews; chronologically organized published articles; and unpublished or unidentified materials. Highlights of the administrative correspondence include details pertaining to Merton's contributions to the Bobbs-Merrill Company reprint series and items depicting F.A. Davis Company's interest in compiling Merton's papers on the subject of nursing into a volume for publication. Book review items include reviews written by Merton, as well as related correspondence and drafts. Records pertaining to articles written by Merton mainly consist of offprints and occasionally include correspondence, original drafts, and research material. Of interest is information related to Merton's article "Notes on Sociology in the U.S.S.R." This material chronicles a trip Merton and several prominent social scientists took to the region in the early 1960s, under sponsorship from the National Academy of Science. During this excursion, Merton formed ties with many Russian social scientists and these relationships are conveyed through the correspondence and topical information represented in this portion of the collection. Unidentified material may potentially include items that are not written by Merton.
