The papers contain correspondence, reports, and printed material relating to Bernard Bloch's editorship of Language, the journal of the Linguistic Society of America, his directorship of Japanese language training programs at Yale during World War II, and other professional activities. The fourteen linear feet of papers are arranged in two series.
