A fragmentary collection of 0.5 cubic feet encompassing the dates 1900-1934, these papers are comprised of speeches and addresses, newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, bill texts, but there is practically no correspondence. Some of these materials, such as certain speeches and all of the bills, can be found in other congressional sources. Although the bulk of the material covers the periods that McKeown was a representative, little information is provided. Among the subjects documented are McKeown's biography and family, campaigns, World War I, old-age pension legislation, the Great Depression and relief legislation (including the LaGuardia-McKeown Bill and bills for farm-mortgage refinancing), district affairs, the Democratic Party, and patriotic themes.
