Location: Manuscripts and Archives Department, Hagley Museum and Library, PO Box 3630, Wilmington, Delaware 19807

Description: Jasper Crane (1881-1969) was an executive with E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company. This collection consists largely of Crane's correspondence with public officials and conservative organizations who, like Crane, actively opposed Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and the activist state that emerged from the Second World War. Crane was prominently associated with the National Association of Manufacturers, the Foundation for Economic Education, and the National Council of the Churches of Christ. Crane was a board member of the latter organization, and his papers include board of directors minutes, budgets, and correspondence which document the organization's role in the anti-Communist crusade of the early 1950s. Crane and J. Howard Pew of the Sun Oil Company underwrote The Freeman between 1950 and 1957. Late in life he established the Curran Foundation to advance conservative principles in education.
