From the Collection:

Dr. Pullen's papers span from 1926 to 1979. The first series contains transcripts of several oral history interviews. The interview with Dr. Nelson Blake concentrates on biographical data, while the interview with Alice Jewell primarily concerns Pullen's involvement in the desegregation of Maryland Schools and his achievements as State Superintendent of Education and president of the University of Baltimore.

In the second series, typescripts of Dr. Pullen's speeches (1942-1971) are arranged in chronological order. A third series contains various drafts for two of Dr. Pullen's books, "Williamsburg Town and Gown Before the Restoration" and "Decently and In Order". The latter book deals with desegregation. Both contain biographical information about Dr. Pullen.

The fourth series consists of Pullen's subject files (1926-1979) arranged in alphabetical order. Subjects reflect his interest in gardening and collecting as well as his participation in community and educational affairs.
