The T.W. Schultz Nobel Prize 30th Anniversary Planning Committee Records document the commemoration efforts surrounding the 30th anniversary of Theodore W. Schultz’s Nobel Prize in Economics. The collection is composed of meeting minutes, correspondence, digital images, and digital video materials related to a symposium honoring Schultz. It also includes promotional materials such as the Investing in People poster, biographical and bibliographical materials compiled by South Dakota State University’s Briggs Library and other archives, clippings, and speeches by Schultz. Additional items include a tribute to Dr. Ted and Esther Schultz and a symposium video in multiple formats. These materials reflect both the planning process and the legacy of Schultz’s contributions to economics, particularly his pioneering work in human capital theory.

This collection is significant for its documentation of an international scholar with roots in South Dakota, offering insights into the planning and celebration of academic achievement at SDSU. Schultz’s Nobel-winning work transformed economic thinking on education, development, and agricultural productivity. The materials preserve not only institutional memory of the event but also serve as a testament to Schultz’s intellectual influence and personal connection to the university and region.
