- Description
- The Joel A. Tarr Papers include materials related to Tarr's research on urban development, specifically for his paper "Four Decades of Public-Private Partnerships in Pittsburgh," published in 1982 (co-authored with Shelby Stewman). This scholarly publication analyzes the differences in public-private partnerships during the periods of the Renaissance I (1945-1969), the Interlude (1970-1977) and Renaissance II (1978-1980) to better understand "present-day Pittsburgh" based on "two sets of interviews conducted with public officials (past and present), chief executive officers of major corporations, and administrative officials and staff of various private voluntary organizations." The first set of interviews (78 total) used for the study are part of the Pittsburgh Renaissance Project: The Stanton Belfour Oral History Collection, 1971-1973. The second set of interviews was created by Tarr, Shelby Stewman, and Steven Block in 1981. Transcriptions of the 1981 interviews make up Series II of this collection. Series I of the collection include publications by Tarr and others, case studies and reports, committee proceedings, newspaper clippings, correspondence and research notes, and other materials related to his research between 1957-1995.
