and

Archaeology; and writing and lecturing in his field.

Pope's wife,

Dr.

Phyllis Ackerman, 1893-1977, was also an Iran specialist.

Her work was on early and prehistoric myths and symbols in Iranian culture,

and art and textiles of Iran and other Asian and European cultures.

She

was on the faculty of the American Institute of Persian Art and Archaeology,

and was the Assistant Editor of ope s Survey of Persian Art..

The American Institute for Persian Art and Archaeology, whose records

make up a large part of the collection,

was founded in order to carry

out research, publication, and instruction in Iranian

languages, art, and

culture.

Pope was the first Director.

In 1937 the name was changed to the

American Institute for Iranian Art and Archaeology to reflect current usage;

the Institute was also known by the shorter Iranian Institute. The Institute

opened its School for Iranian Studies, with Pope as Chancellor, in the Spring

of 1939, offering courses for academic credit.

In 1942 the School's name

was changed to the School for Asiatic Studies, and its program was expanded to

offer courses inY(0&13) Asian languages and cultures. In 1947 the Institute's

name was changed to the Asia Institute, reflecting its new focus on the

languages and cultures of all of Asia. The new Asia Institute was composed

of the Iranian Institute (carrying on the Iranian work of the original or-

ganization), the School for Asiatic Studies, and the Institute of Asiatic

Economics.

The Institute had a museum, library, archives, and bookstore; its

publication program produced a semi-annual Bulletin, a reprint series,

Pope's Survey of Persian Art.. and other books and publications; it

organized archaeological expeditions, either independently, or jointly with

other institutions, to Kish, Barghouthiat, Rayy (Rhages), North and South

Luristan, Astarabad, Damghan, and other sites in or important to Iran;

t o -

it sponsored projects and expeditions to document and preserve the traditional

arts and crafts of Iran producing, among other things, a film documenting

.

carpet weaving techniques, late 1930's; and offered lectures, concerts, ~R+ Y+s,

and other presentations of Iranian and, later, Asian culture.

During World War Two the Institute helped train Office of War Information

field representatives, and also offered its special skills to the Office of

Strategic Services, the State Department, and the United States Army.

During the Nazi years, the Institute received grants from the Emergency

Comnittee in Aid of Displaced German Scholars to finance the salaries of some

of its faculty.

Pope retired from the Institute in 1953.

Pope s correspondence, 1921-1951 (the bulk dates from the 1920 s and

1930 s) concerns his work as an adviser to individuals interested in buying

Iranian art objects and antiquities (his clients included Mrs. John D.

Rockefeller and William Randolph Hearst); trips to Iran; the Exhibition

of Persian Art held at the Sesquicentennial Exposition, Philadelphia, 1926,

and the related Conference on Oriental Art held in New York and Philadelphia;

the International Exhibition of Persian Art, London, 1931; the Survey of

Persian Art.

;

some Institute matters; writing, lecturing, and other

professional activities; and personal matters. Some letters are addressed

to

Dr

Ackerman and relate to her own work and to Pope s. Reprints, manuscripts,

and typescripts, ca.19301s-1951, f speeches and articles by Pope, Ackerman,

and others are included, as well as page proofs of the Survey of Persian Art...

Also included are correspondence, reports, minutes, and printed material

from various World War Ityo and Spanish Civil War cmittees with which Pope

was involved. These include: United China Relief; Cmittee for National

Morale (which Pope organized and directed); Writers War Board; the International

Brigade Dependants and Wounded Aid Comnittee (London); Friends of the Spanish

Republic; others.

A few miscellaneous personal and financial papers are included.

Records of the Institute, ca.1930-1951, consist of correspondence and

subject files in various alphabetical sequences. Both types of files consist

largely of correspondence, most of which is Pope s as Director of the Institute

and the School. Minutes, financial documents, reports, programs, invitations,

announcements, press releases, memoranda, clippings, guest registers,

radio scripts, course catalogs, syllabi, reading lists, course schedules,

descriptive brochures, and other printed material are included. Despite

the staff s multi-lingual activities, records are in English, with a few

letters in French. Discussed are: exhibitions, conferences, lectures, concerts,

luncheons, annual and honorary dinners, and celebrations; the Institute s

archives, library, museum, and bookshop; archaeological expeditions and

anthropological work; appeals to foundations and other fundraising and

financial matters; Board and cornnittee matters; membership; publicity;

planning; research, teaching, and office staff applications, appointments,

activities,

and

United States newspapers relating to archaeological, artistic, and political

matters in or relating to ran, and activities of the Institute and of Pope,

Sir Edward Denison Ross, and other Iran scholars, 1930-1941.

Mounted,

unbound clippings of articles about other countries in Asia,

and five

scrapbooks containing clippings of articles about current events in China,

1945-1947, are included.
