The Oversized Materials series includes appointment documents and award certificates, honorary degrees, index card files, memorabilia, photograph records of speeches and televisions appearances by Forrestal, photographs, printed materials, slides of military organizational charts, and scrapbooks. Most of the index card files are address cards, including a small set for Mrs. Forrestal, and also include records of condolences received, books Forrestal had from the Library of Congress, and Forrestal's testimony before Congressional committees. The photographs include images of Forrestal's visits to war areas in the Pacific and in Europe, maneuvers of ships in preparations of attacks, and during and after photographs of battles, notably the battle of Iwo Jima, portraits of Forrestal, and portraits of senior military commanders, presidents and prominent civilian government officials inscribed to Forrestal. The scrapbooks contain clippings from newspapers and some magazines, as well as copies of speeches, photographs, memoranda and telegrams, political cartoons, organizational charts, and government-published pamphlets. All of the scrapbooks are about World War II and the immediate post-war period, especially related to the reorganization of the U.S. military. Some contain information on the events in general and others focus on Forrestal's involvement in the events. The topics include the U.S. military and military strength, production and procurement, the organization of the U.S. military, world politics and world events, the American political climate and American Liberalism, and policies of the Soviet Union and numerous other countries. Also included is a scrapbook of correspondence Forrestal received from presidents Roosevelt and Truman.
