Series 6: Betty Tillman papers

Containers:
Box 337-364, 543, map-case 21.4
Scope and content:

Betty Tillman was an administrative assistant for James M. Buchanan and the Center for Study of Public Choice from 1962 to 2007. Her work included typing Buchanan's correspondence, scheduling his travel and conference events, and liaising with publishers and outside parties on Buchanan's behalf. As a member of the Center and eventual administrative director, she made arrangements for the visiting scholars program, managed personnel, kept financial records, and coordinated events and conferences, among many other duties. As her work was integral to Buchanan's and the Center, her papers are somewhat integrated with Buchanan's and the Center papers as well. In the course of processing, some of her papers were able to be identified as a discrete series.

Tillman's papers are divided into three subseries: Correspondence; Office administration; and Conferences, events and travel.
