The Papers of James Grover McDonald

were presented to

The Herbert H. Lehman Papers of the School of International Affairs

Columbia University

by Mrs. James Grover McDonald and her daughters,

Mrs. Halsey V. Barrett and Mrs. Archibald Stewart

James McDonald and Herbert Lehman had many similar interests in their public service and in their lifelong concerns for the welfare of their fellow men. This archive reunites their own correspondence and demonstrates their feelings of mutual respect.

However, in addition, this valuable gift which includes all of Ambassador McDonald's papers endows Columbia University with one of the great manuscript reference sources on the question of refugees in our modern world and on the foundation of the State of Israel

These books, which include McDonald's own My Mission to Israel, have been integrated in to the Lehman Papers Library.
