Subseries Description:

From the Sub-Series:

Contains correspondence, clippings, reports, speeches, notes, and other records from 1949 through 1962, relating to the issues that interested Brewster after he left the Senate. His continued interest in national affairs is reflected in files concerning: transportation industries such as railroads and aviation, Republican politics (especially the election of 1960), communism (including McCarthy and the House investigation, the admission of China to the United Nations and labor unions), economics and the federal economy, and national defense. A renewed concentration on Maine can be seen in files on the state's government, economic development, and politics. There are also major files on Americans for Constitutional Action, Bowdoin College, the town of Dexter, the "Negro Vote", federal committees and commissions on which he had hoped to serve, and relating to major figures such as Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Joseph McCarthy, Margaret Chase Smith and Douglas MacArthur.

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.
