Professor history at the University of Michigan; files relating to his work with the American Commission to Negotiate Peace, 1918-1919, and as a radio broadcaster commenting on world events during the Second World War.

The collection covers but a small portion of Preston Slosson's career: his work as staff member with the American Commission to Negotiate Peace following World War I and the radio broadcasts he made from 1940 to 1947 in which he discussed the news from the perspective of history. The remainder of the collection includes letters from his travels and family. The collection does not document his career as a history teacher, his candidacy for the US Congress in 1948, or his various organization activities.
