Subseries 4A: Legal Case Files, 1933-1990

671 boxes
SOME ONLINE MATERIAL
This series consists of legal case files which cover the widest range of civil liberties issues. It contains briefs and other pleadings, correspondence, memoranda, and notes. There are over 5500 folders representing approximately 3000 individual cases, many of which went before the U.S. Supreme Court. The Legal Case Files series is not a comprehensive representation of the cases in which the ACLU has been involved. Some records have yet to be transferred to Princeton and are still being maintained by the ACLU Legal Department. The series is arranged alphabetically by case or individual name. Files may appear listed under either the plaintiff's or the defendant's names. Also some cases are filed under a subject heading such as "Gay Rights Task Force" or "Airport Searches". One should also consult the MCA/UMI Microfilm guides for the case files series which may contain copies of ACLU legal briefs filed for many of the cases listed here.

The Biographical series is composed of photographs and memorabilia mounted on pages in approximately chronological order. The pages document Widenmann's travels, attendance at conferences, and informal interactions with colleagues and friends, and also include a smaller amount of material on Loeb, Rhoades Company and United States financial conditions. The photographs include formal group photographs, head shots and candid shots of event attendees at receptions, images of tourist attractions, and images of individuals at parties and on the beach. Some photographs include captions with the names of the individuals in the images. The memorabilia include clippings of articles and political cartoons, event programs, travel itineraries, invitations to events, Widenmann's name tags, and travel brochures. In addition, there are three bound volumes with similar content.
