Scope and Content of Collection
Ronald Max Hartwell, who wrote a history of the Mont Pelerin Society, collected documents related to the society and its members.
The collection includes correspondence, minutes, conference papers, publications, and agenda of the Mont Pelerin Society,
mainly in the form of photocopies, related to activities of the society in promoting laissez-faire economics and associated
concepts of freedom.
In 1984, Hartwell sent questionnaires to members asking for basic information about their involvement with the society, opinions
about the society, and anecdotes which might be of interest to historians. These questionnaires, along with related correspondence,
can be found within the collection.
