Description of Contents

The William J. Sebald Papers, comprising 54.12 linear feet of documentation, span the period from 1887 to 1980. The papers cover most of Sebald's public career, including his roles as a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy, private practice lawyer in Japan and Washington D.C., Chief of the Pacific Section of the Combat Intelligence Unit during World War II, Chairman of the Allied Council for Japan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Far Eastern Affairs, and American Ambassador to Burma and Australia, as well as various aspects of his personal life.

The collection is composed of a mix of textual and non-textual materials, including correspondence, diaries, datebooks, schedules, press clippings, event programs, forms, reports, meeting minutes, propaganda leaflets, books, book manuscripts, journal articles, scrapbooks, photographs, motion picture film, medals, plaques, certificates, and swords.

The Sebald Papers are organized into seventeen records series by document type and office of origin. Comprising nearly one quarter of the collection, CORRESPONDENCE spans the majority of Sebald's private and professional life. In addition to correspondence with various diplomats, military leaders, and personal acquaintances in the General sub-series, the series features whole sub-series of letters devoted to correspondence with Mrs. Edith Sebald, Paul Schubert, and Charles Nelson Spinks. The following five series consist of materials from specific offices occupied by Sebald. Materials from Sebald's time as a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy and his two tours of duty in the U.S. Navy are housed in UNITED STATES NAVY AND NAVAL ACADEMY FILES. MINUTES OF THE ALLIED COUNCIL FOR JAPAN contains meeting minutes from Sebald's time as the council's chairman. Sebald's growing involvement in the Far East outside of Japan is detailed in CORRESPONDENCE AS DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR FAR EASTERN AFFAIRS. FILES AS AMBASSADOR TO AUSTRALIA focuses on Sebald's various ambassadorial duties, as well as the various expenses required to operate a foreign embassy. STATE DEPARTMENT FILES (GENERAL) spans Sebald's career as a Foreign Service officer, focusing primarily on personnel matters. While not the product of any one office, a significant number of documents in SUBJECT FILES pertain to Sebald's role as American Ambassador to Burma. The series also includes materials on General Douglas MacArthur and propaganda in World War II.

The next four series consist of materials of particular document types. Addresses and remarks delivered by Sebald, as well as other notable American and Australian political and diplomatic figures comprise SPEECHES. Sebald's career as an author and translator of Japanese texts is documented in WRITINGS AND PUBLICATIONS (WILLIAM J. SEBALD), while WRITINGS AND PUBLICATIONS (OTHERS) is home to writings of Charles Andrew Willoughby, Edith Sebald, and others. DIARIES AND DATE BOOKS consists of William and Edith Sebald's personal diaries and date books/day planners.

Two series of documents consist of files ostensibly kept, at least initially, by people other than Sebald. EDITH SEBALD FILES contains subject files and correspondence maintained by Sebald's wife Edith, which pertain to Mrs. Sebald's personal and professional affairs. CHARLES A. WILLOUGHBY FILES pertain largely to General Willoughby's relationship with General Douglas MacArthur and intelligence gathering under MacArthur's command in World War II.

The collection's final four series consist of materials of more varied, and often non-textual formats. SCRAPBOOKS, composed primarily of newspaper clippings, relate to the operations of the de Becker law firm in Japan, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers in Japan, and Sebald's role as Ambassador to Australia. PHOTOGRAPHS, which focuses heavily on Sebald's time in Australia, includes prints, negatives, photograph albums, and two sizes of photographic slides. Motion picture/video coverage of Sebald, as well as audio recordings of Japanese broadcasts can be found in AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS. Lastly, various physical objects purchased by or presented to Sebald, such as plaques, medals, and Japanese swords, can be found in REALIA.

Research interests served by the William J. Sebald papers include the personal and professional histories of William Sebald and his wife Edith Sebald, as well as intelligence gathering in the Pacific Theatre of World War II, the reconstruction of post-war Japan, pre-war Japanese law codes, the operations of the Allied Council for Japan, and the diplomatic history of American relations with Burma and Australia.
