The memorabilia collection consists of plaques, certificates, framed works, which include prints and paintings, three-dimensional objects such as trophies and figurines, commemorative items, and bound volumes. These items were all gifts or awards from groups or individuals to Senator Mitchell from 1966 through 1994. They commemorate events and legislation, confer distinctions upon him, or signify the recognition, respect, and appreciation of his constituents and colleagues. Significant groups represented by these gifts and awards are: business and professional groups such as Footwear Industries of America and the American Lung Association; interest groups such as the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and Veterans of Foreign Wars; such colleagues as Senator Robert Byrd and Strom Thurmond; individuals and individual businesses. Mitchell kept many of these items in his senate office; some were kept in various field offices.
