Beer personal archive, 1898-2009 and undated Quantity: 61.64 cubic feet 50 record cartons, 24 document boxes, 14 flat boxes, 1 card box, 2 portfolio folders) Abstract: Samuel Hutchison Beer 1911-2009) was the Eaton Professor of Science of Government at Harvard University from 1971 to 1982. Beer’s research focused on the government and politics of Great Britain, American federalism, intergovernmental relations, comparative government, and the history of political theory. The collection documents Beer’s involvement as a teacher, writer, advisor, consultant, and political activist, and illuminates his role as a distinguished American scholar of British politics and a wide- ranging theorist of American federalism, with the heaviest concentration of material dating from 1946 to 2002. The nature of the collection—a mix of comprehensive notes on lectures, articles, and book as well as memos and other correspondence with political actors and organizations—reflects Beer’s philosophy that academic work and political activism are not just complementary enterprises, but fundamentally and inextricably linked. Although he was not an "activist-scholar", Beer was involved with American politics at all levels, from grassroots organizing to presidential campaigns, and argued that this involvement was central to making him a better educator.
