Description
The
collection contains correspondence, news clippings, photographs, flyers, and other
material related to the Douglass Adair Symposia, a series of conferences and
academic meetings that began in the 1980s and ran until at least 2008 at Cal Poly

Background
The Douglass Adair Symposia was a series of gatherings that Cal Poly Pomona history
professor Dr. John Moore organized, initially with the idea of commemorating the
Bicentennial of the American Constitution in 1987. The symposia was named in honor
of Douglass Adair (1912-1968), a professor of history at Claremont Graduate School -
now known as Claremont Graduate University - and the author of seminal essays on the
late eighteenth century and the founding of America.
