Paul Seabury (1923-1990) was a nationally-recognized scholar and expert on United States foreign policy and international
politics. He was on faculty in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley and served in
an advisory role on President Ronald Reagan's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and to the Department of State. Seabury
also served as Chairman of UC Berkeley's R.O.T.C Advisory Committee, as Chairman of the National Executive Committee of the
Americans for Democratic Action (1961-1962), and as director of the Freedom House and the League for Industrial Democracy.
Seabury wrote prolifically, authoring over a dozen books and numerous articles on foreign policy and other areas of interest.
He received the Bancroft Prize from Columbia University. Seabury also founded the Pumpkin Papers Irregulars, a group that
met for dinner every Halloween to celebrate the Whittaker Chambers-Alger Hiss case.
The Paul Seabury papers are divided into 6 series: Correspondence; Writings; Subject Files; Teaching; Personalia; and Audio
Cassettes. Correspondence is both personal and professional and includes some correspondence from significant political figures,
such as Henry Kissenger and Richard Nixon. Writings consist mainly of manuscript drafts of Seabury's books and articles as
well as files of printed and published articles. The Subject Files are arranged alphabetically and document various interests
and activities in Seabury's career. These files include materials from Seabury's work, during the 1980s, on the President's
Foriegn Intelligence Advisory Board.
