Charles Howard Carter
Charles Howard Carter was professor of History at Tulane University from 1963 to 1990. He studied at Columbia University under Garrett Mattingly, whose Festschrift he later edited. He graduated B.S., M.A., and Ph.D.. He instigated a project to microfilm diplomatic documents from Western Europe for the period 1590-1635 which provided shared access to materials from the British Library, the Public Record Office, the National Archives of Belgium, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Biblioteca Nacional de España and the Archivo General de Simancas.
At the time of his death, Carter was working on a monograph on the relationship between James VI and I and the Spanish ambassador Diego Sarmiento de Acuña, 1st Count of Gondomar. His papers are kept in the Special Collections of the Milton S. Eisenhower Library at the Johns Hopkins University.Works
