Papers of J. Rives Childs, Accession #9256-b , Special
Collections, University of Virginia Library,
Charlottesville, Va.
Acquisition Information
This collection was given to the Library by Mr. Childs, Nice, France, on November 4, 1969.
Processing Information
Mr. Childs' general papers were offered to the
University of Virginia in 1969 as Randolph-Macon College,
which had some of his papers, felt it did not have
sufficient library space and staff to handle the large
collection.
Foreign Service Farewell was
published by the University Press of Virginia, located in
Charlottesville, and this gave an additional tie.
The papers were packed at Mr. Childs' home in Nice and
shipped to the University. Here they have been sorted and
arranged in the order that seemed most usable.
James Rives Childs was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, on
February 6, 1893. He attended Virginia Military Institute
(1909-1911), and received his B.A. from Randolph-Macon College
in 1912. In 1915 he recieved a master's degree from Harvard.
He served during the First World War in military intelligence
and as liaison officer of radio intelligence with the French
and British War offices. After the war, he worked in the
Soviet Union with the A.R.A., and headed the relief operations
in the Tartar Republic. Mr. Childs entered the U.S. Foreign
Service in 1923, and was stationed during his long career
primarily in the Middle East. Among his many posts were
Ambassadorships to Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Ethiopia. He is
the author of numerous books and articles. Among his published
works are
The American Foreign Service ,
Casanoviana ,
Reliques of the Rives ,
Restif de la Bretonne: ses critiques et
sa bibliographie , and a memoir,
Foreign Service Farewell .
The collection contains manuscripts for Child's books
Behind the Scenes of History, Foreign Service Farewell, The Buried Life, Operation Torch, Satan's Redezvous, Casanoviana, and over 40
articles.
The foreign service materials include memoranda,
correspondence, dispatches, speeches, pamphlets, invitations,
scrapbooks, photographs, press releases, reports and documents
for Rives's career in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Ethiopia. There
are materials from Rives's service in military intelligence
during the first world war, and with the American Relief
Administration in the Tartar republic.
The papers also contain personal correspondence from
1904-1967, genealogical material, and travel diaries.
