The papers consist of correspondence, writings, notes, research files, and printed material which document Fred Rogers Fairchild's career as an economist, consultant, and author. Fairchild's work as a tax adviser to Connecticut, the territory of Hawaii, and Santo Domingo are represented, along with his studies of finance and taxation in the Northeastern states, the insurance and forestry industries, and post-World War I Europe. Fairchild's activities as a teacher of economics and a member of the Yale faculty are less fully illustrated. Many files concern Fairchild's activities after retirment from Yale, including his authorship of a textbook for high school students entitled Understanding Our Free Economy, and his interests in conservative causes.
