This series contains a number of documents that shed light on Lowe's personal life: photocopies of his British naturalization papers and academic degrees, a photograph and pamphlet produced in conjunction with a celebration at the University of Kiel, death notices and eulogies he delivered at the funerals of friends, a history of a charitable organization he helped to establish, materials generated in connection with his eightieth birthday party, and a bound volume of greetings presented to him on his one-hundredth birthday.

This series contains letters that Lowe received and, in many instances, carbon copies of letters that he wrote. Much of the correspondence is from other members of the faculty of the New School for Social Research and from other academic economists, but the series also includes many letters written by Lowe's daughters and grandchildren.

This series contains materials that Lowe created and maintained in connection with his teaching activities at the University of Kiel, the University of Frankfurt, Manchester University, and the New School for Social Research. Lecture notes generated while Lowe was at Manchester (among them a few lectures for the Worker's Educational Association) and the New School predominate. Also included are an outline for a political theory course he taught at the University of Kiel (1930), the syllabus (1951) for his "Theory of Capitalism" course at the New School, and reading notes he used in preparing various lectures.

This series consists of materials that document Lowe's professional activities. Included are minutes of several academic conferences in which he took part, minutes of the New School's Study Group on Germany (1943), clippings and correspondence concerning his receipt of various awards and honors, contracts with publishers, reviews of and advertisements for his books, assorted publications of the New School for Social Research, and a 1988 interview published in Die Zeit, a leading German newspaper.
