Series III: Course Materials

History of France Since 1848 (Hist. W3154)

Regarding Folders 9 through 19: According to Paxton's notations, many lectures for this course were revised and reused in successive semesters. Wherever possible, they've been filed according to the most recent date noted. [As a result, Folder 19 (Spring 1995 Materials) below features many lectures that were originally drafted much earlier.] This arrangement affords some insight into Paxton's revision process. However, to get a sense of the complete lecture run, researchers will want to examine the materials from different semesters/terms across the decades. Many lectures are undated and appear to be missing pages.
