The Nichols Collection contains 0.75 cubic feet and consists primarily of correspondence, memos, telegrams, and campaign materials. There are also invitations, Congressional Record reprints, a diary (1945), speeches, scrapbooks, voting records (1939-1940), congressional reports, and clippings. Although the collection covers the period from 1934-1949, most of the material documents Nichols's congressional career. Topics covered include campaigns; aviation and air accidents, including the 1943 Board Reports of the Select Committee to Investigate Air Accidents; Nichols's biography; legislation of the late1930s, including the Gavagan Anti-Lynching Bill; and relief programs. Correspondents include Gene Autry, James Roosevelt, congressional colleagues, Democratic Party members, and constituents.
