BERNARD H. FRASER
Scope and Content
The Fraser papers document his service with the National Committee on Food
for the Small Democracies. Arranged chronologically, the collection ranges in date
from March, 1940 through July 1941 and is contained in two document cases.
The Donor's name during the period that these matertials were generated was
H. B. Brese. In October l945, the spelling was anglicized to Fraser.
Also as a part of the collection is UNICEF materials related to Herbert Hoover's
influence upon its work and an unpublished manuscript by Philip H. Waldoks entitled,
"Maurice Pate and UNICEF: Personalities, Individuals, and Politics in International
Organization." This essay is based in part on interviews with UNICEF staff, including
Bernard H. Fraser.
