Tax Deductions for "Personal" Papers: The Archivist's Dilemma
- J. Frank Cook (The University of Wisconsin)
Abstract
In the last two issues of the newsletter we have reprinted items from the national press on the continuing controversy regarding President Nixon's transfer of his Vice Presidential papers to the National Archives in order to receive an income tax deduction before the practice was ended by the 1969 tax law. Those archivists who dislike Nixon have probably rejoiced in the expose. The President's supporters in the profession likely have resented what they regarded as an attempt to smear the White House. Our reaction as archivists has, in short, been much like that of the general public.
