The papers of Edward M. House were administered as a special library
collection by the Curator, Charles Seymour. Papers of a significant
number of House's associates were donated to the library and placed
in the House Collection until the death of Seymour in 1963, when the
collection was added to the department of Manuscripts and Archives.
The most important of these auxiliary collected papers are those of
Frank Lyon Polk, who worked closely with House during the Wilsonian
period as Counselor, Acting Secretary and Under Secretary of State;
and Gordon Auchincloss, House's son-in-law, who served as assistant
counselor in the State Department and secretary to Colonel House at
the armistice and peace negotiations. Both of these men kept detailed
diaries which supplement the House diary record. Also of prime
importance are the papers of Sir William Wiseman, British
intelligence liaison between Wilson and House and the British
government and adviser at the Paris Peace Conference. The papers of
Charles Seymour as editor and curator of the House Papers, historian,
and administrator of the House Collection provide extensive
documentation on the work of Colonel House and his colleagues.
Descriptions of the associated papers and collections formerly part
of the House Collection follow.

Sir William Wiseman (1885-1962): international banker working at

Loeb & Company (1929-1955) include correspondence, particularly in
relation to the promotion of capital investment in underdeveloped
