- Scope and content:
-
Jo Ann Burgess was an administrative assistant at the Center for Study of Public Choice from 1989 to 2014. She was responsible for the library at the Center and for the management of Buchanan's papers. Additionally, she was the secretary for the Public Choice Society and edited much of Buchanan's published works in the 1990s and 2000s, notably The Collected Works of James M. Buchanan, published by the Liberty Fund. As her work was closely tied to Buchanan's and the Center, her papers are somewhat integrated with Buchanan's and the Center papers. In the course of processing, some of her papers were able to be identified as a discrete series.
There are four subseries: Correspondence; Office administration; Liberty Fund editorial work; and Public Choice Society.
