Identifier: CAC_CC_044_1_0000_0000_0000
The Peden Collection covers the period 1946-1948. Consisting of 8 cubic feet of material, the collection consists primarily of correspondence. Constituent correspondence, which is arranged geographically, includes such subjects as utility concerns, issues, and personal requests. General non-constituent correspondence, arranged alphabetically, includes letters on the Taft-Hartley Bill, taxes on oleomargarine, aid for public schools, veterans benefits, Alaska homesteading, and dams. The remaining correspondence, arranged by subject, is a good source for the issues of the day. Subjects include the Agriculture Department, Indian affairs, the Equal Rights Amendment, foreign affairs, the Marshall Plan, the Public Lands Committee, and socialized medicine. The subject files also contain pamphlets and bills to supplement the correspondence. In addition to correspondence, the collection contains Peden's newsletters. Subjects include labor, foreign relations, federal departments, Un-American Committee investigations, the Marshall Plan, communism, and agriculture. A small photograph collection is included in the collection.
