Series Description:

Records include subject files, reports, speeches, letters and other records of political events and legislative business, 1935-40; many of the files from this period were transferred to his U. S. Senate office in 1941 (series M200.5). These files relate mostly to the committees on which he served; they cover industries such as agriculture and fisheries, issues such as public utilities and old age pensions, and pre-World War II subjects such as naval affairs and anti-Japanese propaganda. Also included are records of the campaigns of 1936, 1938 and 1940. Undated material from any series is filed at the beginning of that series.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
