In 1985 I first began my research on the life and work of Harold
Hotel ling. That year, Harold Hotelling's widow had donated the
collection of his private p: tpers, correspondence and manuscripts
to the Butler Library, Columbia University. This is a most
appropriate place for them to reside, in that Hotelling's most
productive period as an active researcher in eco nomics and
statistics coincides with the years when he was Professor of
Mathematical Economics at Columbia (1931-1946). The Hotelling
Collection comprises some 13,000 separate items and contains
numerous unpublished letters and manuscripts of great importance to
historians of economics and statistics. In the course of the
following year I was able, with the generous financial assistance
of the Nuffield Foundation, the Economic and Social Research
Council, the British Academy and the University of Durham, to spend
six weeks over the Easter period working on the collection. I
returned to New York in September 1986 while on sabbatical leave
from the University of Durham, and I spent most of the following
eight months examining the many documents in the collection. During
that academic year I was grateful to Columbia University who gave
me the title of Visiting Research Professor and gave me the freedom
to work in their many well-stocked libraries."
