	Guide to the John R. Mott Papers (Record Group No. 45): Finding Aid
		Though Mott was a friend of governmental leaders and involved in diplomatic missions, this collection of his papers is likely to be most valuable for its documentation of the organizations which Mott founded and led.

		Mott's well-documented climb to prominence, his changing and unchanging foci and values, and the abrupt fading of his reputation in the twenty-five years since his his death provide valuable insights into the workings of American society.
