Abstract: Activity," Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 319 (September 1958), was for many years virtually a mandatory reprint in collections of political science readings and remains the standard source on the topic.By the early 1960s, Vose's fascination with the labyrinthine detective work that his research required led him to embark on a second, parallel course of research, writing, and teaching.He became the leading authority on the use of reference works and archives of documents in political inquiry.His contributions in this sphere include the 1975 APSA publication, A Guide to Library Sources in Political Science: American Government, articles in the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences and The Handbook of Political Science and a series of articles in PS on the uses of the papers in the presidential libraries as a political science concern and on the papers of Richard M. Nixon.Vose's articles on the Nixon papers, the most recent of which appeared in the December 1983 PS, were part of his continuing leadership in linking the APSA to the National Archives.He was the APSA's representative of the National Archives Council from 1970 to 1983, succeeding Harold D. Lasswell, and was chairman in 1977-78.Vose was closely involved in the successful litigation to keep the Nixon papers and tapes in the public domain.He joined as plaintiff with James MacGregor Burns, Donald G.
