Abstract: The collection contains the official records and publications of the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES), an organization founded in 1956 as the Comparative Education Society. The Society promotes the study and teaching of comparative education and international studies in education.

History of the Comparative and International Education Society: The Comparative Education Society (CIES) was established on April 27, 1956, following the Third Annual Meeting at New York University of American educators interested in comparative education. William W. Brickman, Convener of the Annual Meetings at New York University, was elected the first President of the Society; Robert B. Sutton (Ohio State University) was elected the first Vice President; Gerald H. Read (Kent State University) was elected the first Secretary-Treasurer. "International" became part of the Society's name in September 1969, to reflect the broadened scope of interest held by its expanding membership. The Society's business office was located at Kent State University until 1973. Today, the Society's has grown to over 2,100 members. It publishes a newsletter and a journal (Comparative Education Review), holds an annual conference, and organizes standing and ad hoc committees to address specific objectives and professional interests.

For more information on the history and mission of CIES, please see the Society's website.

Scope and Content: The CIES records are comprised of documents and audio-visual materials representing the history, activities, and interests of CIES since its creation in 1956. These files include materials from the CIES Secretariat, volumes of Comparative Education Review and associated records, files of the various presidents of CIES, records of the CIES annual conference, and CIES study tours undertaken during the organization's earlier years.

Statement of Arrangement: The collection is currently organized into six series.

Acquisition Information: The Kent State University Archives became of the official depository of the records of the Comparative and International Education Society by action of the Society's Board of Directors in October, 1980. Professor George Z. F. Bereday, Editor of the Comparative Education Review (1957-1966), made the first donation to the collection in January, 1981. Since then, records from the Secretariat, various Presidents of the Society, and the Review have been placed in the collection.

Accruals: Materials are added to the collection on a regular basis.

Processing Information: The CIES records at Kent State University are currently undergoing extensive revision and further processing, and thus the organization of the collection and structure and content of this finding aid will change throughout the year.

Processing work on the CER records is continuing at this time.

Subseries 2: CES and CIES Newsletters

Scope and Content: Although this organization began as the Comparative Education Society, through a vote of the membership the name was changed to Comparative and International Education Society in December, 1968. You will notice that the title of their newsletter reflects this change. Also, beginning in June 1967 and published periodically throughout the newsletters run, a membership directory was included with the newsletter. In 1989 this grew into its own publication with the appearance of the 1989 - 1990 CIES Membership Directory. These individual membership directories are listed as a separate subseries below.

Series 3: Presidential files

Scope and Content: The CIES Presidential Files is comprised of correspondence, papers, video recorded interviews and other materials created by or about CIES presidents. The files are organized in the order in which each president served. However, there are files that pre- or post-date the individual's time in office in many cases. Researchers will note that there are many gaps in this collection due to inconsistent depositing of presidential papers into the archive over the years.

Series 4: Founding Members: William W. Brickman papers

Biographical Note: William W. Brickman (1913-1986) was an influential proponent of the need for comparative education and was one of the founding members of the Comparative Education Society in 1956. He was a faculty member at New York University and the University of Pennsylvania, was a prolific scholar, and led several comparative education study tours during his long and distinguished career.

Scope and Content: The William W. Brickman papers document small portions of Brickman's career through clippings, lecture notes, reading lists, research projects, reports, and photographs. The photographs also cover Brickman's military career during World War II and then his transition back to academic life, while numerous course outlines, papers, and research materials clearly outline Brickman's career and focus in comparative education.

Series 4: Founding Members: Gerald H. Read papers

Biographical Note: Gerald H. Read (1913-2005) was a central character in the early years of the Comparative and International Education Society, and was instrumental in developing CIES into the organization we know today. However, he held a special interest the educational systems of other countries and was the first to organize study tours abroad, including the first tours to Communist nations during the 1950s and 1960s, to investigate this wide variety of educational operations. Thousands of educators attended study tours organized by Read. He was a faculty member in the Kent State University College of Education from 1948 until his retirement in 1976. The College is also the home of the Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education established by the Read family in 1987.

Scope and Content: This series not only holds the reports, often handwritten notes of Dr. Read, schedules, and other items related to the study tours, but also includes the background research compiled in preparation for each visit and subject files of specific topics Dr. Read considered important to investigate. This series also include Read's correspondence with Russian scholar Dr. Zoya Malkova
