content: This series focuses exclusively on Murra's personal life.  The materials in this series include correspondence, curriculum vitae, interview transcripts, newspaper clippings, and a variety of legal documents.  Of special interest are the folders on his legal struggle for U. S. citizenship and his oral history interview with John Howland Rowe for The Hispanic American Historical Review.  The Murra Citizenship Case folder includes newspaper editorials and letters to the editor by F. C. Cole and Robert Redfield, registers of donations to the John Murra Citizenship Fund, correspondence from his lawyers and supporters and copies of the legal petitions submitted to the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.  Correspondence from F. C. Cole as well as Donald Collier and George C. Vaillant, the Chairman of the Institute of Andean Research some of which concerns Murra's naturalization and selective service status are also contained in the Ecuador Trip folder.  A certificate from the League of Nations' Commission Militaire Internationale attesting to Murra's Romanian citizenship is located in Spain—Civil War.  One of the unique aspects of this document is its use of Murra's birth name, Isak Lipschitz.  The same folder also contains correspondence from the Spanish Civil War in Romanian and English.  The last folder in this series, [Spanish Civil War]—Perpignan, consists of materials from a colloquim at the Université de Perpignan on Les Francais et la Guerre d'Espagne includes the remarks in French that Murra wrote for the occasion.
