German and Jewish Intellectual Émigré Collections
Personal and professional papers of German-speaking Émigré in the social sciences, humanities, and the arts and the organizations which assisted those who fled the Nazi regime.
In recognition of the serious scholarly interest in the mass migration of German speaking exiles from the Nazi regime, a German and Jewish Intellectual Émigré Collection was established in 1976 at the University at Albany, State University of New York. This growing collection has been developed since the 1970s through the efforts of the University Libraries and Professor John M. Spalek of the University's Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literature Department

Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, 1946-1952 0.50 cubic ft.
This series contains reports, memoranda, speeches, articles, photographs, Japanese government documents and other materials that Oppler created or gathered while working for the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP). The earliest items concern the Japanese constitution, which Oppler played a very minor role in drafting. However, the bulk of the series consists of published and unpublished memoranda, reports, meeting minutes, speech notes, photographs, and other materials Oppler created or collected while working as part of the Government Section (1946-47) and as head of the Courts and Law Division (1947-52).
The correspondence files contain circa 10,910 items of correspondence, arranged in four sub-series: correspondence with individuals connected with the International Student Service and related organizations; general correspondence files; correspondence concerning lecture engagements; Kotschnig's correspondence dating from his years of service with the U.S. Department of State and the United Nations.
This series of correspondence dates predominately from the years 1936-1943 and contains approximately 2345 items of correspondence, consisting of letters to Kotschnig, carbons of many of his own letters, as well as third party letters which were sent to him. The correspondence documents the history of the International Student Service in the United States, its connection to the European Student Relief Fund, and its subsequent evolution into the World Student Service and the World Student Service Fund. The most substantial correspondent is Alfred E. Cohn (212 items), but the collection also includes correspondence with many of the individuals involved with these organizations: Edward Bradby, Margaret J. Brown, Joseph Cadden, André de Blonay, Clyde Eagleton, Roland A. Elliott, William G. Fletcher, Kenneth Holland, Ruth Hubbard, Alvin S. Johnson, Robert E. Lane, Joseph P. Lash, Charlotte Löhrig, Robert C. Mackie, Louise Morley, William Allan Neilson, Michael Pobers (Pobereszki), Harper W. Poulsen, Eliot D. Pratt, Trude W. Pratt, Wilmina Rowland, Max H.
