Biographical Note
From the 1930s to the early 1960s, Inez Richardson worked for the Hoover Institution and Stanford University in a myriad of
roles, from executive assistant, coordinator and liaison for foreign visitors to Stanford, and faculty member of the Radio-Television
Institute, to director of the Stanford Listening Post. In addition, Richardson was an assistant to Stanford University president
Ray Lyman Wilbur and curator of the Ray Lyman Wilbur collection on Social Problems at the Hoover Institution.
Scope and Content of Collection
The Inez Richardson papers document Richardson's career with the Hoover Institution and Stanford University. The collection
consists of correspondence, memoranda, reports, speeches and writings, conference proceedings, photographs, notes, and printed
matter. While the bulk of the collection details administrative aspects of Stanford University and the Hoover Institution,
many of the files reflect Richardson's participation in and administration of many of the Hoover Institution's and Ray Lyman
Wilbur's interests, including education, housing, healthcare, radio, and foreign relations. Also included are files related
to Stanford University's participation in World War II with the Stanford Listening Post and CATS (Civil Affairs Training School),
and the university's relationship with the Office of War Information.
Richardson's original order, file names, and cross references have been maintained.
