Page H. Belcher Collection

 Collection
Identifier: CAC-CC-004
Scope and Contents The Page Belcher Collection consists of 182 cubic feet of material. The bulk of the collection is organized by Congress, with files within each legislative session arranged in alphabetical order by topics. Although legislative, departmental, and general material is found together, the folder title reflects the type of material found within each. Often, folders with general information simply list the topic without the qualifying label of "general." Materials on a wide range of...

Thomas A. Chandler Collection

 Collection
Identifier: CAC-CC-011
Scope and Contents The Chandler collection is small and fragmentary and does not reflect his activities in the U.S. Congress.

Helen Gahagan Douglas Collection

 Collection
Identifier: CAC-CC-014
Scope and Contents The Douglas Collection covers the former congresswoman's life from her early stage career until her death in 1980.

Other topics of note include the...

J. Howard Edmondson Collection

 Collection
Identifier: CAC-CC-015

The majority of the materials consist of correspondence, but there are also speeches, press releases, travel records, clippings, campaign materials, and audio-visual items. The strength of the collection lies in its focus on Oklahoma state government, including Arkansas River projects and the repeal of prohibition in...
