Elliot Liebow Papers
25 linear feet; 51 boxes
Elliot Liebow (January 4, 1925–September 4, 1994) was an American anthropologist best known for his 1967 book Tally's Corner: A Study of Negro Streetcorner Men (Little, Brown and Co.), which he wrote as his Ph.D. dissertation for The Catholic University of America. The papers document not only Liebow’s academic and professional career, most notably his twenty-year career at the National Institute of Mental Health, but also his retirement—during which he researched and wrote his second book, Tell Them Who I Am: The Lives of Homeless Women (1993, Free Press). The papers consist primarily of notes (in particular anthropological field notes), press clippings, and correspondence. Please be aware that the field notes (and related material containing identifying information about informants) will be completely restricted for a set period of time; see “Restrictions” herein.

Biographical Note
Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Liebow grew up in predominantly Black neighborhoods where his father—Boris Liebow, a Jewish immigrant from Russia—worked as a grocer. His mother Bertha (née Wecksler) was a Jewish immigrant from Latvia. When his father died, Liebow dropped out of high school having only reached the tenth grade. In December 1942 (about a month shy of his eighteenth birthday), he enlisted in the Marine Corps and spent eighteen months serving overseas in the South Pacific. He was honorably discharged in December 1945, having attained the rank of staff sergeant.
Although he had never finished high school, from February 1946 to June 1949, Liebow attended George Washington University on the G.I. Bill—graduating with a B.A. in English Literature. For about a year after graduation, Liebow worked for the New York Journal of Commerce, first as a copy boy and later as a reporter; under the supervision of the Textiles Editor, he wrote a daily market story on cotton finished goods. During this same period he also wrote four children’s books on assignment for the Kunen Publishing Company. From January to July 1951, Liebow worked as a technical writer for the Philco Corporation in Philadelphia writing instructional manuals for Army–Navy trainees in electronics. When his uncle became ill, Liebow’s family requested his help running their children’s camp in Barryville, New York. Liebow worked as the associate director of Camp Utopia from July 1951 to September 1954.
Sometime in 1953 Liebow met Harriet Hirsch (July 9, 1933– ), whom he married in 1954. After he and Harriet were married, Liebow decided to pursue graduate studies in Ancient History at the University of Maryland (UMD). Between September 1954 and June 1956, Liebow took classes at UMD but did not earn any degree.
Between September 1956 and June 1959, Liebow completed the required coursework for a Ph.D. in Anthropology at Catholic University. In the summer of 1957 he interned at the Smithsonian Institute’s Division of Anthropology, working with collections of American Indian skeletal remains from the southwest under the supervision of T. Dale Stewart (1901–1997). During the summer of 1958 (June to September), Liebow conducted anthropological field work in Canada on a grant from the Arctic Institute of North America. He was the head of a three-man team that included his wife and a fellow doctoral candidate at Catholic University, the Rev. John Trudeau. Liebow co-authored with Trudeau an article titled, “A Preliminary Study of Acculturation Among the Cree Indians of Winisk, Ontario,” which was published in Arctic in 1962.
From June 1959 to December 1961, Liebow worked as a research associate in the Foreign Area Studies Division of the Special Operations Research Office at American University; the Special Operations Research Office represented a collaborative effort between the University and the United States Army to study certain cultures in order to develop counterinsurgency programs. Liebow was part of a five-man, cross-disciplinary team tasked with writing books on foreign countries for the Army; he produced chapters on social structure, family, social values, language, religion, ethnic groups, and political attitudes, and was solely responsible for these chapters in the books on Turkey (1960), Japan (1961), and Guinea (1962). Throughout his time working for the Special Operations Research Office, Liebow also worked for Operations and Policy Research, Inc. (a government consultant) reviewing books under consideration by the United States Information Agency and specifically assessing their placement in the Agency’s overseas libraries. During the fall semester of 1961, Liebow also worked as a part-time instructor for Catholic University’s Department of Anthropology, teaching a three-credit graduate course on Peoples of Asia with special emphasis on Japanese culture and social structure. His immediate supervisor was Dr. Regina Flannery Herzfeld (1904–2004), then-Chair of the anthropology department.
From January 1962 to September 1963, Liebow served as a fieldworker on the research project “Child Rearing Practices Among Low Income Families in the District of Columbia,” a study conducted by the Health and Welfare Council of the National Capital Area on a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Reporting to Dr. Hylan Lewis, Liebow collected first-hand materials through participant observation on lower-class values and lifestyles with a focus on child-rearing practices. His analyses and reports included evaluations of the participant observer technique—a traditional anthropological technique which had rarely been applied in a Western, urban setting. Liebow continued to pursue this area of research on his own time and through a subsequent project; it would eventually become the basis of his book Tally’s Corner (1967).
From September 1963 to January 1964, Liebow worked part-time as a research associate on a collaborative project between Prince George’s County and the Mental Health Study Center—part of NIMH—concerning adolescent runaways. The findings were published in Suburban Runaways of the 1960’s (1967), on which Liebow was listed as one of four authors along with Robert Shellow, Juliana Schamp, and Elizabeth Unger.
In January 1964, Liebow began working as a Social Science Analyst (GS-11) in the Adolescent Process Section of the Mental Health Study Center at NIMH. As the Director of Project #M-MHSC-59, he was solely responsible for the research design, data collection, analysis, and write-up of an anthropological study of the behavior and values of so-called “Negro streetcorner men.” The central question of the study was whether low-income Blacks could be said to have an independent subculture or whether they simply mirrored the values of American middle-class society. In his dissertation—submitted in April 1966 under the title “Behavior and Values of Streetcorner Negro Men”—Liebow made the case that it was the latter. He would go on to publish his dissertation the following year as Tally’s Corner. In 1968, the Society for the Study of Social Problems selected Tally’s Corner as co-recipient of the annual C. Wright Mills Award.
Liebow went on to work for more than 20 years at NIMH, eventually becoming Chief of the Center for the Study of Work and Mental Health. As Chief, Liebow directed social science research on subjects such as job stress and the mental health implications of changes in employment status. In 1980 he was selected to receive the Gunnar Myrdal Award for Government, an annual award given by the Evaluation Research Society, in recognition of “his leadership in research evaluation techniques that led to improvement in mental health delivery.” A few years later he was presented with the 1984 Lee-Founders Award by the Society for the Study of Social Problems (from which he had previously won the C. Wright Mills Award); the Lee-Founders Award announcement celebrated him for “[leading] an often lonely battle to secure the place of social science research within the science policy of our nation”—a veiled reference to NIMH’s diminishing support for social science research under the Reagan Administration.
In 1984 Liebow was diagnosed with inoperable prostate cancer, at which point he promptly retired from the federal government on disability. A decade earlier he had survived melanoma, but this time around the doctors estimated that he had only six or eight months to live. In his retirement, Liebow began volunteering once a week at a local soup kitchen as a way of keeping busy. From there, he also started volunteering at a women’s shelter. Although his initial prognosis was very poor, a new treatment from a French-Canadian endocrinologist helped send his cancer into remission. Liebow steadily befriended the homeless women with whom he interacted and, from force of habit, began taking field notes. In an interview on Fresh Air in August 1993, Liebow told Terry Gross that all of the women from the shelter knew he had terminal cancer, which in some ways helped make his relationships with them less one-sided. As his research progressed, he was invited to return to NIMH as a guest researcher in the Laboratory of Socio-environmental Studies. Although at the outset he had no intention of writing a book, his health eventually improved enough for him to write Tell Them Who I Am: The Lives of Homeless Women (1993). In June 1994, Liebow was notified that Tell Them Who I Am was among the top four finalists for the C. Wright Mills Book Award (which Tally’s Corner had won previously).
Meanwhile, on July 11, 1986, Liebow was appointed the first occupant of the Cardinal O’Boyle Chair at The Catholic University of America’s National Catholic School of Social Service (NCSSS). In January 1990, he was presented with Catholic University’s President’s Medal in recognition of his integral role in implementing the NCSSS Institute for Social Justice.
In December 1991, Liebow was notified that he had been selected as one of two recipients of the American Sociological Association’s Distinguished Career Award for the Practice of Sociology, along with Matilda White Riley (1911–2004). In 1994, the National Alliance to End Homelessness presented Liebow with its John W. Macy Award.
After his decade-long illness, Liebow died on September 4, 1994 at the age of 69 and was interred at the Judean Memorial Gardens in Olney, Maryland. He was posthumously awarded the Society for the Anthropology of North America (SANA) Prize for Critical Study of North America in recognition of his “lifelong commitment to analysis of important social problems in the US, and the lasting significance of his two books.”
Scope and Contents
Although Tally’s Corner (1967) is the work for which Elliot Liebow is best known—and the one that essentially launched his twenty-year career with the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)—the archival materials relating to the research and writing that went into it make up only the third-largest series in the collection; the bulk of materials actually pertain to Liebow’s second book, Tell Them Who I Am (1993), which he researched and wrote after retiring from NIMH.
The papers provide particularly strong evidence of Liebow’s research methods in participant observer studies. Although the overwhelming majority of his copious field notes and tape recordings must be kept closed for the time being, they will be a rich resource for future generations of researchers.
The papers are noticeably lacking in photographs; there are markedly few of Liebow.
The papers are divided into six series, the contents of which are summarized below. The series progress chronologically from Liebow’s graduate school work to his retirement and death; the sixth series postdates Liebow’s death by about six years. By and large the files within each series are arranged chronologically; subject files and correspondence, however, are arranged alphabetically within their respective series.
Series 1 contains project proposals, letters of reference, field notes, reports, articles, reprints, newspaper clippings, diary entries, and one 16 mm film from Liebow’s graduate fieldwork among the Cree people living in the village of Winisk, Ontario. Through the sponsorship of the Arctic Institute of North America, Liebow, his wife, and another doctoral candidate in Catholic University’s anthropology department conducted research in Winisk between June and September 1958. The majority of material is written in English, but there is a small amount written in French and the Cree dialect.
Series 2 consists of reference materials, notes, and draft documents related to Liebow’s work for the Foreign Area Studies Division of the Special Operations Research Office at American University. Most of Liebow’s notes pertain to the countries of Turkey, Japan, and Guinea, to which handbooks he contributed the sociological-anthropological chapters.
Series 3 contains research and publicity materials pertaining to Liebow’s book Tally’s Corner: A Study of Negro Streetcorner Men (1967). The mansucript was originally submitted in April 1966 as a doctoral dissertation for Catholic University’s Department of Anthropology under the title “Behavior and Values of Streetcorner Negro Men.” Under the title “Tally’s Corner,” it doubled as Liebow’s Final Report for Project No. M-MHSC-59 in the Adolescent Process Section of the Mental Health Study Center at NIMH.
Due to the sensitive nature of certain documents—in particular the field notes—some materials in this series will be restricted for a period of sixty (60) years from their date of creation, per the terms of the gift agreement.
Series 4 contains documents related to Liebow’s principal place of work. Beginning in 1962, Liebow worked for more than twenty years at NIMH—initially as a research associate on a grant-funded project for the Health and Welfare Council of the National Capital Area and later as Chief of the Center for Work and Mental Health. Due to the sensitive nature of certain documents, some materials in this series will be restricted for a period of sixty (60) years from their date of creation, per the terms of the gift agreement.
Anne Ballenger—who worked with Liebow’s widow in the early 2000s to organize the papers prior to their deposit at The Catholic University of America—solicited donations from Liebow’s friends and former coworkers in order to fill out this series. These donations make up subseries 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4.
Subseries 4.1 contains materials donated by Maury Lieberman including but not limited to copies of speeches, testimony, articles, and reports that Liebow gave or wrote in his professional capacity. Also present are copies of Liebow’s poetry, copies of Liebow’s obituaries, and Lieberman’s funeral remarks. Ballenger recorded interviews with Lieberman on five separate occasions in the fall and winter of 2000; there are seven audio cassette tapes of these interviews, intended to offer additional context to the donated materials.
Subseries 4.2 contains correspondence donated by Robert Shallow (including some with Ballenger); a copy of the 1967 monograph Suburban Runaways of the 1960’s, which Liebow co-authored with Shellow and two others; and materials created during Ballenger’s February 2002 interview with Shellow, including one cassette tape and handwritten notes on legal paper. The interview is intended to offer additional context to the donated materials.
Subseries 4.3 contains correspondence between Ballenger and Barbara Lenkerd in addition to a copy of Lenkerd’s 1995 book Psychosocial Consequences of Unemployment, in which Liebow is discussed in the Acknowledgments section.
Subseries 4.4 contains email correspondence between Ballenger and Elliott Leyton regarding Liebow, dated January 17, 2002. In his reply, Leyton shares his memories of Liebow.
Series 5, the largest series, contains research and publicity materials pertaining to Liebow’s book Tell Them Who I Am (1993). Many of the publications and press clippings on homelessness in Liebow’s papers were sent to him by Dr. Kim Hopper, a medical anthropologist who has conducted ethnographic and historical research on psychiatric care and on homelessness since 1979; Hopper served as president of the National Coalition for the Homeless from 1991 to 1993.
Due to the sensitive nature of certain documents—in particular the field notes and life histories—some materials in this series will be restricted for a period of sixty (60) years from their date of creation, per the terms of the gift agreement. Among the restricted materials are dozens of informant interviews on regular audio cassette and microcassette tape.
Series 6 contains audio cassette tapes created by Anne Ballenger during her initial inventory of the Liebow papers. Ballenger recorded thirteen (13) interviews with Harriet Liebow discussing the context of the items in the inventory. The interviews also touch on aspects of Liebow’s personal life.

Processing Information
Initial inventory completed in 2002, prior to donation, by Anne Ballenger—then a student of Applied Medical Anthropology at The Catholic University of America (1995–2009). Ballenger generated detailed item-level inventories of every box and meticulously labelled every folder. Problematically, however, the boxes from Ballenger’s inventory lacked sequential numbering.
Upon their arrival at the Catholic University Archives, the boxes were renumbered; see the Box Conversion and Status List dated June 6, 2003. This document maps Ballenger’s haphazard box numbers to the new Archives numbers (1–17). It also specifies which boxes are open and which are closed, per the gift agreement.
Processing completed in February 2021 by Amanda Maureen Bernard. Box list prepared with the support of Tricia Campbell Bailey in February 2021. EAD markup completed in March 2021 by Amanda Maureen Bernard.
