Among the correspondents are many of the major figures of the Peronist movement, including trade union leaders in Argentina and exiled Peronist activists. The letters themselves contain detailed information about rivalries and intrigues among different Peronist factions, and they record the efforts of Perón's lieutenants as they sought both to curry favor in the eyes of their leader and to sustain the Peronist movement within Argentina. They also document the roles played by Isabel Perón and José Lopez Rega in the last years of Juan Perón's life.

Scope and Content of Collection

The Juan Domingo Perón papers consist primarily of correspondence between Perón and his followers, conducted largely during the period of his exile in Madrid, Spain. Among the correspondents are many of the major figures of the Peronist movement, including trade union leaders in Argentina and exiled Peronist activists. The letters themselves contain detailed information about rivalries and intrigues among different Peronist factions, and they record the efforts of Perón's lieutenants as they sought both to curry favor in the eyes of their leader and to sustain the Peronist movement within Argentina. They also document the roles played by Isabel Perón and José Lopez Rega in the last years of Juan Perón's life.
A significant part of the Correspondence series consists of letters exchanged between Perón and Pablo Vicente, a former colonel in the Argentinian army living in exile in Montevideo, Uruguay, who acted as a conduit for mail being sent to Perón from his followers in Argentina. These letters from supporters were left as they were originally arranged, among the correspondence from Vicente to Perón. Vicente's letters to Perón also include detailed analyses of political developments in Argentina, as well as Vicente's own assessments of internal tensions within the Peronist movement.
Other notable correspondents include John W. Cooke, who at one time seemed to be Perón's heir apparent. The major Peronist labor organizations, including the 62 Organizaciones, figure in the correspondence, as does the Consejo Coordinador y Supervisor de Peronismo. There are letters and reports sent to Perón by one of the earliest Peronist guerrilla movements, the Fuerzas Armadas Peronistas (FAP), as well as one letter from the much larger armed Peronist organization, the Montoneros. The series also has two drafts of a significant letter sent by Perón to President John F. Kennedy, then newly-elected, in 1961.
The papers contain a number of articles and speeches by Perón, and these are described in the Speeches and Writings series. This series also includes the outlines of lectures given by Perón in the 1930s on the Russo-Japanese War of 1905. Less important writings by Perón, such as communiqués and memoranda, are grouped in the Peronist Movement File, which also contains materials relating to Isabel Perón and Jose Lopez Rega. This file has a short handwritten declaration by Evita Perón as well.

Arrangement

The collection is arranged into eight series: Biographical file, Correspondence, Speeches and Writings, Peronist Movement File, Subject File, Photographs, Printed Matter, and Oversize Materials.
