The materials in this collection were assembled by
John A. Adams, Jr. as an active United States
participant in the negotiations of the United States, Canada and Mexico in
negotiating and agreeing upon an agreement to permit free trade among the three
countries. Adams’ involvement in the process of negotiating and approving what
became the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1987
and continued throughout the entire process. As a trained historian, Adams
recognized the importance of documenting as much of the process as a single
active participant could. In that process he accumulated a wide variety of
materials that include clippings, magazine articles, books, reports,
correspondence, notes, newswire reports, pamphlets, leaflets, papers presented
at conferences, conference programs, and other types of documents that shed
light on the process of negotiating an international treaty.
After the treaty was formally approved by all parties involved, Adams
boxed all of the documents he had collected, produced a report in which he
briefly described the contents of each of the twenty-one boxes and then gave
them to the Political Sciences and Economics Library of the Texas A&M
University Libraries. A copy of Adams’ report has been cataloged and is
available in the Political Science and Economics Library with a call number of
HF 17456. A33. At some point they were transferred from his original twenty-one
boxes into three filing cabinets. During the 2005-2006 academic year, the
records were transferred into 19 cubic foot archival boxes and transferred to
Cushing Memorial Library where all of the archives and special collections
materials are housed. A new box level finding guide has been created as part of
this document. The materials have been kept in the original folders in which
Mr. Adams had them when he presented them to Texas A&M University.
Some of the materials were not in folders when they were put into boxes at the
Political Sciences and Economics Library and are still not in folders. In those
cases where materials were not in boxes, that information is included in the
descriptions of the folders in each of the nineteen boxes described below.
