Walter Hines Page Papers, 1885-1918 (MS Am 1090.2-1090.13). Houghton Library, Harvard University.
Page was an American author, editor, publisher, and diplomat. He was an editor of the Atlantic
Monthly (1895-1898) and a founder (with Frank N. Doubleday) of the publishing house of Doubleday,
Page and Company (later Doubleday and Company). He also founded the magazine The World's Work which
he edited until 1913.
He was a strong supporter of Woodrow Wilson for president and later became Wilson's ambassador to
Great Britain (1913-1918). Page was an early supporter of the US entrance into WWI and he urged
Wilson to forego neutrality and enter the war. His health declined rapidly in 1918 and he had to
resign his duties, return home to North Carolina where he died on December 21, 1918.
