Biographical Note
William Vacanarat
Shadrach Tubman (1895-1971), nineteenth
president of Liberia, was born November 29, 1895 in Harper City,
Maryland
County, Liberia to
Alexander Tubman and Elizabeth Rebecca Barnes
Tubman. His paternal grandparents, manumitted slaves, were repatriates who
in 1837 had immigrated from Georgia (USA) to the Maryland Colony in Africa. Tubman received his education at
Government Elementary School in Harper City and the Cape Palmas Methodist Seminary. He
began his political career in 1912 as an assistant in Probate
Court, going on to serve in Harper City as a Councilman and teacher from 1914-1917. During this period Tubman also read law under the
tutelage of Senator Monroe Cummings. He was admitted into the
Maryland County
bar in 1917 and appointed County Attorney. He became
Inspector of Internal Revenue in 1919. He was elected to the
Liberian Senate from Maryland
County in 1923, serving until 1937 at which time President
Edwin J. Barclay appointed him to be Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of Liberia. Tubman left the Supreme Court in 1943 to run for the presidency. His campaign was successful and
he succeeded Edwin J. Barclay as president in January 1944. Clarence L. Simpson, Sr. served as his first vice president.
As Liberia’s longest serving
president, Tubman’s presidency was marked by great changes in the economy, politics
and social environment of Liberia
and the African continent. Scholars divide the Tubman presidency into three
periods. During the first period (1944-1955), he made
successful efforts to bring loyal personal and political supporters into the government.
As a Monrovia outsider he
created a new political base of indigenous Liberians and disaffected members of the
political elite. He also began to implement the policies that would characterize his
presidency: the pursuit of national unification through accelerated assimilation of
indigenous Liberians into the mainstream of an essentially repatriate-created society;
advocacy of his Open Door Policy for foreign economic involvement in development; and
diplomatically aligning with the Western countries in their East/West power
conflicts.
During the second period (1955-1968), Tubman attempted
to modernize the country’s economic and social institutions. The right to vote had been
extended earlier to indigenous citizens, although a restrictive property clause was
maintained. By 1964 a series of administrative reforms
included the transformation of the former hinterland provinces to county status,
dividing Liberia into nine
counties—the original five coastal counties, plus four new interior counties: Lofa, Bong, Nimba and Grand Gedeh. The coastal and interior
regions had been separated by lack of roads, disparities in education, means of
communication and even by different laws. This reorganization was designed to remove
distinctions between the coast and interior and to advance the goal of greater national
integration of the indigenous peoples.
Although the legacy of the past still reflected differences in education, lifestyle and
worldview between inhabitants of the coast and the interior, educational and political
opportunities began to make inroads into the interior during the 1960s. These major
internal political reforms brought representational parity between approximately 30,000
repatriates and one million indigenes, but the historic economic ascendancy of the
repatriates and the absolute political power by the presidency still remained.
Through his Open Door policy Tubman continued to facilitate
and encourage foreign businesses to locate and invest in Liberia, including major companies such as the
Liberian Mining Company (LMC), the Liberian American Swedish Mineral Company (LAMCO),
Bong Mining Company
and the Firestone
Tire and Rubber Company (already established in the late 1920s).
Concession agreements were signed with over sixty companies, including agricultural and
forestry concerns. Within a period of 25 years, Liberia attracted foreign investments exceeding one billion U.S. dollars.
Although Liberia seemed to benefit
from its phenomenal economic growth during the 1950s and 1960s, this prosperity was not
accompanied with commensurate human development and equity. The Liberian economy
depended on foreign investors who usually exported their unprocessed extracted products
to processing industries in more economically developed countries, depriving Liberia of jobs and revenues that could
have supported a better educational, medical and economic infrastructure. Instead,
Liberia’s
national economy developed into a dual system in which the concession sector had little
connection with the rest of the economy.
During the decolonization era President Tubman enjoyed great
international stature as one of Africa’s leading statesmen and. His presidency coincided with Africa’s dramatic
transition from a continent of colonies to a continent of independent states. In 1944 as Tubman began his first term as
President, only four independent states existed in Africa: Egypt, Ethiopia,
South Africa and Liberia. By the time of his death in 1971, there were forty independent African states.
When the British colony of Gold Coast
became the independent country of Ghana in 1957, it set in motion African
attempts to establish the political direction for a re-emerging Africa. Tubman believed in a future
determined through consultations among Africa’s leaders and he favored an organization that featured African
political cooperation and consultation among its leaders, rather than the continental
government model favored by Ghana’s
Kwame Nkrumah. A
series of conferences, including the 1959 Sanniquellie
Conference in Liberia, the
Casablanca Conference in 1961 and a number of smaller
meetings and behind-the-scenes talks ensued. On May 25,
1963, thirty-three independent African countries signed the Charter for the
Organization of
African Unity (OAU) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Liberian President
Tubman
and his Secretary of State, J.
Rudolph Grimes, played key roles in drafting and negotiating the final
document.
Tubman’s
foreign policy usually aligned Liberia with the Western countries in Cold War politics, opposing
countries and movements perceived to be leaning towards socialism or communism.
Tubman
would sometimes, however, associate Liberia’s foreign policy with the non-aligned states, notably on issues
of decolonization.
During the third period of the Tubman era, the final years of
his presidency (1968-1971), the country struggled with
economic recession and fiscal stringency. The Tubman administration faced
growing opposition resulting in the intensification of political paternalism.
Tubman
died on July 23, 1971 in a London clinic following a prostate operation. He
was succeeded by his Vice President, William R. Tolbert, Jr. Tubman was
survived by his wife, Antoinette Louise Padmore Tubman and his
children, including Wilhelmina Tubman-Tucker, William V.
S. Tubman, Jr., William Eli Tubman (deceased) and
John Hilary Tubman.

Arrangement
The collection is organized into three major record groups:
Liberian Government Papers
,
W.V.S. Tubman Personal Papers
and
Civil Society-Related Materials.
All materials are arranged alphabetically within each series and then
chronologically within each folder. (Additional organizational details for the
correspondence follow.)
When possible, the current arrangement reflects the original categorization of the
Tubman papers. However, because the documents were in considerable disarray when
retrieved in 2005, restoring their arrangement was based on a
variety of strategies. Scattered papers retrieved from the floor were inspected for
relationships in found proximity, content or if stains and holes matched other pages.
Records organization was retained "as found" when files were retrieved intact from the
filing cabinet drawers. Project archivists also referenced a 1946 filing guide for Liberian government papers and used most of the
organizational categories from Professor Christopher Clapham’s
unpublished 1979 report,"The W.V.S. Tubman Library of
Presidential Papers," based on his 1970s inspection and organization of the intact
collection. Archivists also consulted the
Historical Dictionary of Liberia
(Scarecrow Press)
and conferred with D. Elwood
Dunn, Svend E.
Holsoe and other experts on the Liberian government during the Tubman
era.
Given the large amount of correspondence strewn on the floor of the Tubman Estate
basement library closet when the records were retrieved, the following principles were
followed to sort the letters into the proper record groups and series:
Liberian Government Papers Record Group Letters on
official government letterhead stationary or with an official signature block at the
end of the letter were filed appropriately in the Executive
Branch, Legislative Branch or Judiciary Branch Administrative Files series. Many of these
letters mixed official and personal business.
Correspondence of a governmental nature that did not appear on official government
letterhead stationary or did not include an official signature block was filed in the
General Government Correspondence series This series
includes letters specifically addressed to President Tubman that often petition him
for some type of action.
The General Government Correspondence series is
arranged alphabetically by author’s name. Separate files were created for each person
who corresponded four times or more with Tubman. Otherwise, all
documents were arranged alphabetically in a “General” file for each letter of the
alphabet (e.g., General “A”, 1935-1971, undated). Because Tubman had close
relationships with many writers, some letters use first names only. When the author’s
last name could not be ascertained with certainty, the letters were arranged by first
names. (e.g., “Bob”, 1946-1949, undated)
Correspondence found in the “Miscellaneous” files at the end of the General Government Correspondence series did not have a
legible name or was a fragment without identification. The “Miscellaneous” letters
were arranged chronologically, with undated documents in the “Miscellaneous, undated”
file.
W.V.S. Tubman Personal Papers Record Group The Personal Correspondence series in this record group
contains letters from family members and friends of Tubman, including an
extensive set from his butler, Jimmy Barrolle, who handled many
matters for Tubman. Because Tubman had a close
relationship with most of these people, many letters only use first names. When the
last name of the letter’s author cannot be ascertained with certainty, they are
arranged by first names. (e.g., Alice, 1946, 1968, undated; Belle, 1945, undated) The
Personal Correspondence files are arranged
alphabetically.
Under these arrangement rules, some individuals appear in more than one correspondence
record group or series.
Scope and Content
The W.V.S.
Tubman papers comprise 21 linear feet of documents spanning the years from
1904 to 1992
with the bulk of the materials covering the period of his presidency, 1941-1971. The collection is organized into three record
groups:
-
Liberian Government Papers
-
W.V.S. Tubman Personal Papers
-
Civil Society-Related Materials
The
Liberian Government Papers
record group consists of documents pertaining to the activities and business of
the Liberian Government. The
W.V.S. Tubman Personal Papers
record group consists of documents from Tubman’s life outside of his
presidency and concerns his family, friends and personal business matters. The
Civil Society-Related Materials
record group consists of documents from civic, religious and fraternal
groups.
The first three series of the
Liberian Government Papers
record group consist of materials from the three branches of the government: The
Executive Branch Administrative Files include papers,
reports, correspondence and other documents from the various government departments,
offices, bureaus, commissions and organizations of the Tubman administration.
The naming convention for departments and agencies was to file documents under the last
name used during Tubman’s presidency. For example, the subseries Department of Information and Cultural Affairs contains the Liberian Information
Service correspondence because the earlier Liberian Information Service was
reorganized into the Department of Information and Cultural Affairs
in 1965. Government agencies grow and divide over time and
often change their names.
The Legislative Branch Administrative Files include laws
(acts) passed by the Legislature, drafts of legislation and House of Representatives’
correspondence. The Judiciary Branch Administrative Files
contains records from the Supreme Court and the ten Circuit Courts.
The
Liberian Government Papers
record group includes two related series in addition to materials for the three
governmental branches. The voluminous General Government
Correspondence series contains personal letters specifically addressed to
Tubman
that petition the President for some type of action: job, loan, school fees, rent, or
medical fees. Some ask for a visitation; others thank him or include a small gift (such
as a Bible). Many letters are handwritten, coming from all parts of Liberia, both rural and urban and from
every strata of the society. Fulfilling these requests would often involve both
governmental and personal issues, a reflection of Tubman’s all-encompassing
leadership style and persona.
The Subject Files series contains speeches, souvenir
programs and invitations that do not pertain to a specific government department or
agency. It includes materials from Tubman’s Vice Presidents and
former President Arthur Barclay.
The
William V.S. Tubman Personal Papers
record group is divided into four series: Personal
Correspondence, Tubman Financial Records, Tubman Farm Records and Tubman Family
Biography. The Personal Correspondence contains
letters from family members and friends of Tubman, including an extensive
set from his butler, Jimmy Barrolle, who handled many personal
matters for Tubman.
The documents in the Tubman Financial Records series are a
sampling of the large collection of financial records found at the Tubman Estate. These
records (mainly receipts) pertain specifically to Tubman’s family and include
groceries and clothing for the family, home repair costs and other documentation of
general spending for a family. There are also a number of letters regarding personal
business matters.
The Tubman Farm Records pertain to farms and related
facilities owned by the Tubman family, including the
Totota Farm, Coo-Coo’s Nest and the Tubman Zoo. The majority of these documents are
financial records, but they also include reports and correspondence.
The Tubman Family Biography contains notable documents from
Tubman
and his family members including college degrees, family court documents, news clippings
and other memorabilia.
The
Civil-Society Related Materials
record group contains papers of various non-governmental organizations that
Tubman
was either affiliated with or interested in. Many youth and women’s organizations are
represented in the Civic, Social and Political
Organizations series as well as documents from the World Health Organization. There are
also documents from other organizations such as the Boy Scouts of
Liberia. The Fraternal Orders series contains correspondence, souvenir
programs and financial documents from various lodges within the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, the Grand United Order of Odd
Fellows, the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the
Mysterious Ten and the Order of the Eastern Star.
The Health and Medical Organizations Records series
contains speeches, correspondence, reports and souvenir programs for various medical
centers throughout Liberia.
The In Memoriam series includes death notices, eulogies,
obituaries and obsequies from friends, members of the community, colleagues and others.
Materials include documents from memorial services held in Liberia for many notable
people, including John F. Kennedy,
Winston
Churchill and Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Of special interest is the official funeral program for
Martin Luther
King Jr. at the Ebenezer Baptist Church
in Atlanta, Georgia. Also
included are notices, protocols and order of processions for Tubman’s own funeral.
The Religious Organizations series includes conference
memorabilia, correspondence, reports, speeches and invitations from various churches and
religious organizations. Tubman was a staunch Methodist,
but many of the materials are from other religious organizations.

Separated Materials
Materials found with the William V.S. Papers were
separated from the collection if not relevant to Tubman’s presidency, his
cabinet, or his family during his years in office. For the Tubman Financial records one
of every three years was retained intact to preserve the complete annual cycle. The
remaining two years in each cycle were removed because of their bulk and repetitive
nature.
Photographs Removed
Most photographs were transferred to the W.V.S. Tubman Photograph
collection for digitization and availability via the World Wide Web. A few photographs
attached to and directly related to a specific document were retained and
microfilmed.
Administrative Information
Restrictions
Due to the sensitivity of the content, some documents have been removed. Records
withdrawn include personal letters, school report cards and medical reports. Targets
have been placed at the points where these documents were removed to inform the user
of intentional gaps in the collection.

Custodial History
William V.S. Tubman accumulated the bulk of these personal papers and
government documents during his presidency (1944-1971). Additional materials date from his pre-presidential life and
career and a few documents were added posthumously by staff or family. After his
death, the materials were transferred from the Liberian Executive Mansion in
Monrovia to the
Tubman Memorial Museum on the family estate in Bong County. In 1979, Mrs. Antoinette Louise Padmore Tubman, widow of
the late President W.V.S. Tubman, commissioned
Dr. Christopher Clapham, then a Senior Lecturer in Africa
Studies at the University
of Lancaster, to examine and classify the papers and to make
recommendations as to the display, storage, preservation and access to the remaining
papers. The papers were stored in the estate’s basement library after the Museum
closed in the 1980s.
The materials remained in the estate library, but in deteriorating conditions. In
2003, during Liberia’s civil war, soldiers rummaged through the file cabinets in
search of valuables, tossing folders and papers onto the floor and leaving them
exposed to damage in Liberia’s
tropical climate. In 2005, the materials were
retrieved ―as is‖ from the library and shipped to the E. Lingle Craig Preservation
Laboratory atIndiana
University where they were deep frozen at -10º F to stop mold growth
and exterminate insects. Conservators then cleaned, flattened and disinfected the
documents, preserving the original order when possible. From 2005–2008 Liberian Collections Project archivists sorted the materials,
restoring, when possible, the filing order described by Dr. Christopher
Clapham and the Liberian Executive Office filing guidelines.
Following the organization phase, the collection was microfilmed in
2008. The complete physical collection of the President W.V.S.
Tubman Papers will be moved to Liberia whenever the Tubman family requests the shipment. Until then
the collection will be stored at Indiana University.
