A Guide to the Clifton A. Woodrum Collection

The is a guide to the the Clifton A. Woodrum Collection. This collection consists of one record storage box of material, presumably collected by Woodrum over the course of his life. It is known that at least some of the material was collected by his wife, Lena, as indicated by notes in the collection and the fact the some materials were collected posthumously. The collection includes correspondence files, both personal and professional in nature, news clippings, photographs, and publications that discuss his political career. Also included are a number of scrapbooks that contained news clippings, primarily related to his political career. For preservation purposes, the scrapbooks were dismantled and photocopies were made of their contents. Each “scrapbook” is housed in its own folder with the contents arranged in the order presented in the scrapbooks. The collection of material seems to have begun in 1922 and ended shortly after Woodrum’s death in 1950.
