National Center of Economic Education for Children – Initial Planning, 1964-1979

This series describes Eliot Snider’s participation in various initiatives aimed at increasing the economic literacy of children in the United States. He worked on behalf of the National Council of Economic Education, the Joint Council on Economic Education, and the Massachusetts Economic Education Council. These records include publications, newsletters, correspondence, brochures, pamphlets, and programs guides. Many of these guides present educators with lessons plans and discussion topics specifically to describe basic economic concepts to elementary aged children. Meeting minutes, agendas, correspondence, programs, and rosters define the administration of these organizations, the activities of their governing bodies, and cooperation between these initiatives. A commendation letter signed by President James Carter recognizes Eliot Snider’s efforts developing this initiative.
