Jane C. Loeffler research papers on American embassies, 1920s-2010s, bulk 1970s-2000s

Series I: U.S. Embassy Research Files

The first series contains materials that reference United States diplomatic design abroad. Post files are arranged alphabetically by city, with the exception of Germany and the Newly Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (NIS). In addition to individual post files, this series contains materials that reference individuals and organizations affiliated with the U.S. State Department's foreign building program, not exclusively limited to American-born parties. Files are sorted according to the name of the individual or organization. Reference materials include articles, notes, clippings, photographs, negatives, slides, maps, and plans. In addition, there are two oversized folders, one containing Ralph Rapson drawings and one containing original embassy plan drawings.
