Abstract: Archival materials offer a rich source of information for understanding the history of economics. The correspondence, lecture notes, unpublished reports and drafts, and oral histories contained in the archives of prominent economists offer a valuable glimpse into the training of economists, as well as the process by which research agendas develop. The paper provides an overview of such resources, taking the Duke University Special Collections Library's Economists' Papers Project as an exemplar. The authors also offer guidance for those economists interested in preserving their collected papers for repositories.
