We offer for the first time a nearly complete list of the people who attended the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire from July 1-22, 1944. In The Bretton Woods Transcripts, Kurt Schuler and Andrew Rosenberg collated published conference documents to compile a list of conference delegates and the most important members of the conference secretariat, and offered some biographical details. Here we have used the unpublished conference telephone directories (Documents 20, 114, and 292 of the conference) and a published list of journalists (Document 64) to compile a list that includes the less visible attendees of the conference. In addition, we have included further though still brief biographical details on many attendees, including their years of birth and death where we could find them. Details come mainly from the unpublished Document 159 of the conference, the International Monetary Fund’s official history of the period, and Internet research of biographical articles and obituaries.1
Latin American family names sometimes include the mother’s family name. So, for Carlos Lleras Restrepo, a delegate from Colombia, Lleras was his father’s family name, not his middle name, and Restrepo was his mother’s family name. Adding the mother’s family name helps distinguish people whose names are otherwise common. Chinese names are listed as given name first, then family name, as is often done in English-speaking countries but not in China. Chinese names are apparently transliterated according to the old Wade-Giles system. No uniform method existed in 1944, or exists today, for transliterating Arabic names.
Some delegates are identified in the original documents as ministers resident or members of legations to the United States. A legation was a diplomatic representative office lower than an embassy. It is a minor inaccuracy to call the ministers “ambassadors,” as we denote them in parentheses, but it is more in accord with present usage, which no longer distinguishes between embassies and legations or between ambassadors and ministers resident.
We have divided attendees into five groups: members of delegations from participating countries, listed by country; members of observer delegations, listed by organization; conference secretariat, all apparently Americans; journalists; and others. We were unable to find full first names for some participants, especially women who attended as secretarial staff and were listed nowhere other than the conference telephone directories. We welcome additional details about conference attendees from knowledgeable readers, and will update the paper if we receive any. We have included a few delegates’ wives who were listed in the documents we consulted or have been mentioned in writings about Bretton Woods, but there may have been more not listed. Similarly, there were other people, particularly the staff of the Mount Washington Hotel, the location of the conference, who were present on site but were not part of the work of the conference and are likewise not listed.

Journalists could be protective of their privileged admission to the Bretton Woods conference. For example, at a press conference opened by Treasury Secretary Morgenthau, a newsman noted the unauthorized presence of David Hinshaw, vice president of the Institute of Public Relations. Hinshaw claimed that he had been vacationing at a nearby resort, that he had merely spoken with press and Congressional contacts earlier that day, and that he “was never so humiliated in my life.” Under pressure he left the press conference. Later the publicist admitted that his employer had conducted economic studies for American Smelting and Refining. He was unclear as to whether the studies pertained to gold.5
