Drucker Archives and Author Interviews
Drucker Archives
The Drucker Institute, in cooperation with the Honnold/Mudd Library at the Claremont Colleges, maintains a collection of records donated by Peter Drucker and others with whom he interacted. The archives’ purpose is to support research related to Drucker’s life and work.
The collection includes articles written by or about Peter Drucker, images and magnetic media, boxed awards and ephemera, and realia pertaining to Peter Drucker. If you have Drucker-related materials that you would like to contribute to the Archives, including personal correspondence, please contact Archivist Jacob High at 909-607-9212.
Longer term, the Institute hopes to add material from other leading thinkers on management, leadership and related fields.
Access to the collection is available by appointment. Please contact Jacob to make arrangements.
The Drucker Digital Archives is a growing, searchable online replica of the archives’ physical records. It is available in two forms:
"Connie Martinson Talks Books" Archives
Claremont Graduate University has begun posting online the first author interviews from an extraordinary trove of more than 2,500 taped television interviews with prominent authors of fiction and nonfiction over the last 30 years. They include Mary Gordon, Al Gore, Joseph Heller, Barack Obama, Calvin Trillin, Joyce Carol Oates, Maya Angelou, Gore Vidal, and Elie Wiesel.
The collection was donated by Connie Martinson, host of the cable TV program “Connie Martinson Talks Books,” which has been described by Los Angeles magazine as the city’s “premier television book show.”
Under the direction of the Drucker Institute and CGU’s Transdisciplinary Studies Program, the university plans to digitize the entire collection for easy online access by scholars and the general public. “The Martinson Collection is a fantastic way for us to highlight Peter Drucker’s idea that ‘management is a liberal art,’” said Rick Wartzman, director of the Drucker Institute. “Well-run organizations don’t just focus on finance, marketing and the like. Their values are shaped by the lessons of history and sociology, literature and philosophy, culture, and religion.”
