Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Arrangement

The files in this series are arranged in alphabetical order by subject or in a few cases by the name of a key individual involved in a particular subject area.

Collection History

Appraisal

No extensive archival processing work has been done and the series names, for the most part, are the same as those assigned by Ryan's office. The papers remain in essentially the same order in which they were received except that some box level appraisal occurred in 1992. Some boxes containing duplicate or insubstantial material were discarded.

Box numbers that do not appear on this checklist have, after being evaluated by the archivists, been discarded.

Five boxes of scrapbooks containing newspaper clippings from widely available sources were discarded in June 2007.

Processing Information

This is an unprocessed collection. The contents list provided is a preliminary inventory.

Biography and box inventory prepared by Carl D. Esche in 1993.

Campaign posters were found in the stacks and added to the finding aid by Phoebe Nobles in February, 2019.
