.5 Linear Feet — 1 manuscript box — Archival material separated out from larger donation from the late David Porter. — Papers are fragile and sometimes torn. Rusty staples have been removed where possible.
The bulk of the papers is Porter's own handwritten notes, but also includes materials he saved from other sources (such as local newspapers) and typewritten proposals presented by Porter to his dissertation committee. The papers remain in Porter's original order. Porter's research focused on socialist and anarchist forces in Algeria immediately following independence. Materials are in both French and English.
