Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

The Administration subseries provides insight into the functions and accomplishments of the Division during the 1960s and the specific role that Doar played in the Division. Topics documented include the Division's organizational structure, policies and procedures for litigating cases, and general priorities and directives. The annual Civil Rights Division reports and the Division's weekly and monthly reports to the Attorney General are especially good resources for gaining an overview of the Division's activities, as are the Division's daily news summaries and the Department of Justice press releases. The Division's relationships with other parts of the federal government are documented in the files on Justice Department bureaus and divisions and on government agencies, councils, and interagency groups outside of the Justice Department. The subseries also includes speech transcripts and correspondence related to speeches given by Doar and other government officials, as well as Doar's notes and telephone logs.

Arrangement

This series is divided into eight subseries. The arrangement is influenced by the original organizational outline for the materials found in the folder titled "Office Management: Filing" in Box 95.
