 | | Meetings, 1988-91 (4 folders) _American Libraries_, 1975-77, 1985 American Library Association, 1973-85 Box 82 American Philosophical Society, 1975-91 (3 folders) American Research Center in Egypt, Inc., 1975-78 American Studies Association, 1975-77, 1983 American Whig-Cliosophic Society, 1975-77 Amos, Wally, 1979-83, n.d. |
 | | Boorstin's _Americans_ stressed the everyday aspects of American life, such as cattle drives, folklore, merchandising, and advertising, rather than the standard themes of politics and war. |
 | | The Center utilized the institution's prestige and resources to increase public interest in reading and led to the CBS television network public service spots entitled "Read More About It." Files relating to social activities and events hosted by Boorstin and his wife further chronicle his active public profile while librarian. |
