Historical/Biographical Note
Oliver Lincoln Lundquist (1916-2009), an architect and industrial designer, led the team that created the United Nations logo. For a number of years, he worked directly with Alger Hiss and the architect Eero Saarinen, preparing visual presentations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Washington press corps.
Scope and Contents
The collection includes a small box labeled "United Nations Documents from the Personal Collection of Alger Hiss." Within the box are several letters written to Hiss concerning research and book reviews; one issue of United Nations News dated November, 1947; a page from The Congressional Record (April 29, 1971); a small collection of booklets and pamphlets (1947-1966) relating to the United Nations; and two color snapshots of Alger Hiss. The collection also contains a personal photo album titled "House in Springs" with what appear to be family snapshots taken at several locations. There is a small envelope of loose snapshots. No one in the photos is identified.
