Scope and Contents

From the Series:

This series contains documents regarding trips Eliot Snider and members of his family made outside of Massachusetts. The majority of these documents were acquired during trips made with organizations such as the Young Presidents Organization (YPO), the Chief Executive Organization (CEO), the World Presidents’ Organization (WPO), and the World Business Council (WBC), among others. Preparations for these trips are noted in itineraries, flight manifests,... registration forms, and informational brochures and packets. Many of these organizations sponsored conferences and work sessions for business development worldwide. They often took participants on tours through multiple countries and discussed current topics in business and politics, such as the effects of globalization, commercial development in the EU and worldwide, global communication, and social programming. Guide books, maps, notes, newspaper clippings, brochures, pamphlets, and cruise line newsletters cover areas in North and South America, the Caribbean Islands, Europe, East Asia, North Africa, and Australia. Correspondence with Mr. Snider reveals several trips taken between 1957 and 1971 undocumented elsewhere in the series materials. These trips include the following excursions: Copenhagen, St. Petersburg, Sweden, and Norway; Brazi, Argentina, and Chile; Lisbon, Madrid, Marrakech, and Tangier; Kenya safari; Capetown; Berlin to Zurich river cruise; Israel; and St Moritz (Eliot Snider, letter to Kora Welsh, September 23, 2014). Records of foreign dignitaries and political figures invited to meet convention participants include Douglas MacArthur II, Shimon Peres, James Gildenhorn, and Frank Carlucci. Other trips documented in this series include Eliot and Ruth's recreational undertakings to various vacation locations on a number of cruise lines, occasionally including their grown children for holiday trips.
