Five series were\n         evolved which are described below.","The arrangement is chronological and varies from series to\n         series. Within each chronology generally topics and\n         correspondents are alphabetized together. Individual folders\n         were made when a person was a voluminous correspondent or was\n         politically prominent. Topics always have separate folders and\n         will be specifically mentioned in the guide.

For example, there could be Watt Abbitt\n         correspondence in the Alfalfa Club, the Luncheons, and the\n         Senate Campaign of 1964 folders.","Series I: Business, 1914-1965: \nCorrespondence, memoranda, bills, and receipts comprise\n            this Series. Senator Byrd's various business interests are\n            represented--apple and peach growing, general farming, cold\n            storage, and newspaper publishing. In the pre-1932 years,\n            those papers detail exhaustively Senator Byrd's financial\n            career, especially in the apple business.","There are three subsections to Series I. First, a\n            general business section arranged chronologically and\n            within the year alphabetically by correspondent and topic.\n            There follows a section on the apple sales of specific\n            orchards-- Rosemont, \n            Turkey Knob, and \n            Timberville. Thirdly, a section on\n            general apple sales is arranged chronologically.","The general business material was pulled in many cases\n            from storage boxes marked personal and political from both\n            shipments of material. The files on the apple sales came\n            chiefly from the attic of \n            Rosemont. They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization. But it must be\n            repeated that there is a gap for the gubernatorial years.\n            We assume material for this part of his official life is to\n            be found in the Executive Papers of the Library of\n            Virginia.","The chronology for Series II is by one year periods,\n            and, of course, alphabetically by topic and correspondent\n            within those time spans.","This material had been stored at Rosemont, and\n            practically every piece was rearranged.","Series III: Political, 1933-1965: \nSeries III contains material on Byrd's senatorial\n            career. Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965). Within these\n            sub-series, material is again alphabetically by\n            correspondent and topic.","These papers came to the University from the Victory Van\n            Storage Company. They had evidently been boxed in the\n            Senator's Washington office after his death. As with Series\n            II, it was necessary to go through nearly every folder to\n            assure consistency.","Series IV: Miscellaneous topics: \nDivided into 8 sub-series, this section contains\n            material which would not easily fit into the first three\n            series or were simply too large to be integrated.","A.

This sub-series is\n            comprised of articles by and about Byrd, and some collected\n            by him. There are some drafts and correspondence re the\n            articles, and their publication. The arrangement is\n            chronological.","C. Newsclippings, 1924-1966. A miscellaneous collection\n            dealing with a wide range of topics-- \n            Harry F.

Comprised of\n            letters to Byrd from his \"national\" constituency,\n            commending, and, in some instances, condemning Byrd's\n            position on various issues. In addition, this sub- series\n            contains three bound volumes of letters, 1963 April-May,\n            from various chapters of the \n            Virginia Chamber of Commerce.","E. \n            Harry F. ByrdVoting Record, 1933-1965.\n            Consists of seven bound volumes and five boxes of material\n            detailing the Senator's voting record for 1933-1943 and\n            1953-1965. However, in 1957 the first session of the 85th\n            Congress is not represented.","F. Speeches and Statements. This sub-series is divided\n            into several sections. Byrd kept a \"Reference file of other\n            people's speeches.\" This is arranged alphabetically and is\n            indexed. There is also another alphabet of other people's\n            speeches which was pulled together from various locations,\n            and is listed item by item. Secondly, there is a large file\n            of Byrd's speeches, 1920-1965, arranged chronologically,\n            which contains many original drafts with holograph\n            corrections, and mimeograph copies. Thirdly, is a section\n            of Public Statements, 1922-1965, which includes press\n            releases.","G. Scrapbooks, 1906-1965. Consists of 110 loose volumes\n            and two boxes. The first two volumes in this sub-series are\n            scrapbooks of \n            Richard E. Byrd, Sr.The remaining\n            items contain newspapers, photographs and some\n            correspondence pertinent to \n            Harry Byrd's career.","H. Cartoon Collection, Photographs and Awards.\n            Throughout his political life, Byrd collected cartoons\n            about himself. They lined the walls of his Senate office.\n            There is a card index to these 575 framed drawings and a\n            microfilm has been prepared of each for reference use. This\n            sub-series also contains photographs of political figures\n            and friends, and various awards and certificates presented\n            to the Senator.","Series V: Byrd and Flood Families: \nThis series contains papers relating to Richard Evelyn Byrd, Sr. and Jr., Harry F.

Papers, 1917-1957, consist\n            chiefly of correspondence between the Admiral and the\n            Senator--many of a political nature--and letters from the\n            Senator concerning his brother. There is material relating\n            to the death of Admiral Byrd and the creation of various\n            memorials to him.","C. \n            Harry Flood Byrd, Jr.: The\n            correspondence of Byrd, Jr. with Byrd, Sr. has been pulled\n            together from various locations and placed in this\n            sub-series.

Chiefly correspondence,\n            1917-1965, of Senator Byrd with various members of the\n            family, and with non-relatives concerning Byrd genealogy.\n            There is a segment of condolence letters, 1957, to the\n            Senator on the death of his mother, \n            Eleanor Bolling (Flood) Byrd. Letters\n            from prominent people have been pulled from this subseries\n            and placed in Series III.","E. \n            Flood Family. This sub-series is\n            composed of 2 sections. First is a topical arrangement of \n            Hal D. Floodpapers, 1896-1922. There\n            is some political correspondence, although the Library of\n            Congress holds the more important pieces of Flood's papers.\n            In addition, there is business \u0026 legal correspondence,\n            and material relating to the settlements of various\n            estates. Of note are the \n            Thomas S.

Save for his years as governor of \n         Virginia (1925-1929) the collection\n         documents in great detail his activities in politics and\n         business. The bulk of the political papers deal with \n         Virginiastate politics, and present a\n         clear picture of Byrd's leadership of the state Democratic\n         Party. Substantive material from or concerning national\n         figures for the period is not to be found in these papers.","Material of greatest research value is probably to be found\n         in the papers before 1932 when Byrd was elected to the U.S.\n         Senate. The correspondence files are particularly rich and\n         helpful in the 1920's. A cautiousness of statement appears in\n         his correspondence when Byrd arrives in Washington, but the\n         tendency disappears after a few years, and the later\n         correspondence is candid and useful.","The papers of Senator Byrd are invaluable for any study of\n         Virginia's politics and public life during Byrd's lifetime.\n         Because of his great success as an apple grower and farmer,\n         researchers in these fields will find much of value here.\n         There is also some material useful for the study of\n         journalistic history, and other fields of research.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Harry Flood Byrd, Sr. Papers \n 1911-1965"],"collection_ssim":["Harry Flood Byrd, Sr. Papers \n 1911-1965"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["9700, 9700-b"],"unitid_tesim":["9700, 9700-b"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"creator_ssm":["Harry F.

Of note are the \n            Thomas S. Martinestate and that of \n            Hal Floodhimself.","The second section chiefly contains the estates of other\n            members of the \n            Flood family: \n            Joel W. Flood, \n            Anna Portner Flood, \n            Bolling Byrd Flood, and \n            Eleanor F. Flood, \n            Hal Flood, \n            Richard E. Byrd, Sr., and \n            Harry F. Byrd, Sr.were all executors\n            or guardians to these Floods and their papers are found in\n            the group.","A small group of correspondence, 1941-1965, in this\n            sub-series from the Senator concerns Flood genealogy."],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e\n        \u003clist type=\"simple\"\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003e1887 --born Martinsburg, W.

There\n         was a great deal of inconsistency and repetition within and\n         between the three divisions. As a result, it was decided that\n         a thorough reorganization was in order. Five series were\n         evolved which are described below.","The arrangement is chronological and varies from series to\n         series. Within each chronology generally topics and\n         correspondents are alphabetized together. Individual folders\n         were made when a person was a voluminous correspondent or was\n         politically prominent. Topics always have separate folders and\n         will be specifically mentioned in the guide. The researcher\n         must be willing to search topical files for information on\n         specific people. For example, there could be Watt Abbitt\n         correspondence in the Alfalfa Club, the Luncheons, and the\n         Senate Campaign of 1964 folders.","Series I: Business, 1914-1965: \nCorrespondence, memoranda, bills, and receipts comprise\n            this Series. Senator Byrd's various business interests are\n            represented--apple and peach growing, general farming, cold\n            storage, and newspaper publishing. In the pre-1932 years,\n            those papers detail exhaustively Senator Byrd's financial\n            career, especially in the apple business.","There are three subsections to Series I. First, a\n            general business section arranged chronologically and\n            within the year alphabetically by correspondent and topic.\n            There follows a section on the apple sales of specific\n            orchards-- Rosemont, \n            Turkey Knob, and \n            Timberville. Thirdly, a section on\n            general apple sales is arranged chronologically.","The general business material was pulled in many cases\n            from storage boxes marked personal and political from both\n            shipments of material. The files on the apple sales came\n            chiefly from the attic of \n            Rosemont. They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization. But it must be\n            repeated that there is a gap for the gubernatorial years.\n            We assume material for this part of his official life is to\n            be found in the Executive Papers of the Library of\n            Virginia.","The chronology for Series II is by one year periods,\n            and, of course, alphabetically by topic and correspondent\n            within those time spans.","This material had been stored at Rosemont, and\n            practically every piece was rearranged.","Series III: Political, 1933-1965: \nSeries III contains material on Byrd's senatorial\n            career. Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965). Within these\n            sub-series, material is again alphabetically by\n            correspondent and topic.","These papers came to the University from the Victory Van\n            Storage Company. They had evidently been boxed in the\n            Senator's Washington office after his death. As with Series\n            II, it was necessary to go through nearly every folder to\n            assure consistency.","Series IV: Miscellaneous topics: \nDivided into 8 sub-series, this section contains\n            material which would not easily fit into the first three\n            series or were simply too large to be integrated.","A. Appointment \u0026 engagement books, 1928-29 \u0026\n            1950-1965","B. Magazine articles, 1920-1966. This sub-series is\n            comprised of articles by and about Byrd, and some collected\n            by him. There are some drafts and correspondence re the\n            articles, and their publication. The arrangement is\n            chronological.","C. Newsclippings, 1924-1966. A miscellaneous collection\n            dealing with a wide range of topics-- \n            Harry F. Byrd, \n            Virginia politics, economic, issues,\n            etc. The arrangement is chronological.","D. Constituents' mail, 1957, 1960-1965.

There\n         was a great deal of inconsistency and repetition within and\n         between the three divisions. As a result, it was decided that\n         a thorough reorganization was in order. Five series were\n         evolved which are described below.","The arrangement is chronological and varies from series to\n         series. Within each chronology generally topics and\n         correspondents are alphabetized together. Individual folders\n         were made when a person was a voluminous correspondent or was\n         politically prominent. Topics always have separate folders and\n         will be specifically mentioned in the guide. The researcher\n         must be willing to search topical files for information on\n         specific people. For example, there could be Watt Abbitt\n         correspondence in the Alfalfa Club, the Luncheons, and the\n         Senate Campaign of 1964 folders.","Series I: Business, 1914-1965: \nCorrespondence, memoranda, bills, and receipts comprise\n            this Series. Senator Byrd's various business interests are\n            represented--apple and peach growing, general farming, cold\n            storage, and newspaper publishing. In the pre-1932 years,\n            those papers detail exhaustively Senator Byrd's financial\n            career, especially in the apple business.","There are three subsections to Series I. First, a\n            general business section arranged chronologically and\n            within the year alphabetically by correspondent and topic.\n            There follows a section on the apple sales of specific\n            orchards-- Rosemont, \n            Turkey Knob, and \n            Timberville. Thirdly, a section on\n            general apple sales is arranged chronologically.","The general business material was pulled in many cases\n            from storage boxes marked personal and political from both\n            shipments of material. The files on the apple sales came\n            chiefly from the attic of \n            Rosemont. They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization. But it must be\n            repeated that there is a gap for the gubernatorial years.\n            We assume material for this part of his official life is to\n            be found in the Executive Papers of the Library of\n            Virginia.","The chronology for Series II is by one year periods,\n            and, of course, alphabetically by topic and correspondent\n            within those time spans.","This material had been stored at Rosemont, and\n            practically every piece was rearranged.","Series III: Political, 1933-1965: \nSeries III contains material on Byrd's senatorial\n            career. Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965). Within these\n            sub-series, material is again alphabetically by\n            correspondent and topic.","These papers came to the University from the Victory Van\n            Storage Company. They had evidently been boxed in the\n            Senator's Washington office after his death. As with Series\n            II, it was necessary to go through nearly every folder to\n            assure consistency.","Series IV: Miscellaneous topics: \nDivided into 8 sub-series, this section contains\n            material which would not easily fit into the first three\n            series or were simply too large to be integrated.","A.

In addition, this sub- series\n            contains three bound volumes of letters, 1963 April-May,\n            from various chapters of the \n            Virginia Chamber of Commerce.","E. \n            Harry F.

However, in 1957 the first session of the 85th\n            Congress is not represented.","F. Speeches and Statements. This sub-series is divided\n            into several sections. Byrd kept a \"Reference file of other\n            people's speeches.\" This is arranged alphabetically and is\n            indexed. There is also another alphabet of other people's\n            speeches which was pulled together from various locations,\n            and is listed item by item. Secondly, there is a large file\n            of Byrd's speeches, 1920-1965, arranged chronologically,\n            which contains many original drafts with holograph\n            corrections, and mimeograph copies. Thirdly, is a section\n            of Public Statements, 1922-1965, which includes press\n            releases.","G. Scrapbooks, 1906-1965. Consists of 110 loose volumes\n            and two boxes. The first two volumes in this sub-series are\n            scrapbooks of \n            Richard E.

There\n         was a great deal of inconsistency and repetition within and\n         between the three divisions. As a result, it was decided that\n         a thorough reorganization was in order. Five series were\n         evolved which are described below.","The arrangement is chronological and varies from series to\n         series. Within each chronology generally topics and\n         correspondents are alphabetized together. Individual folders\n         were made when a person was a voluminous correspondent or was\n         politically prominent. Topics always have separate folders and\n         will be specifically mentioned in the guide. The researcher\n         must be willing to search topical files for information on\n         specific people. For example, there could be Watt Abbitt\n         correspondence in the Alfalfa Club, the Luncheons, and the\n         Senate Campaign of 1964 folders.","Series I: Business, 1914-1965: \nCorrespondence, memoranda, bills, and receipts comprise\n            this Series. Senator Byrd's various business interests are\n            represented--apple and peach growing, general farming, cold\n            storage, and newspaper publishing. In the pre-1932 years,\n            those papers detail exhaustively Senator Byrd's financial\n            career, especially in the apple business.","There are three subsections to Series I. First, a\n            general business section arranged chronologically and\n            within the year alphabetically by correspondent and topic.\n            There follows a section on the apple sales of specific\n            orchards-- Rosemont, \n            Turkey Knob, and \n            Timberville. Thirdly, a section on\n            general apple sales is arranged chronologically.","The general business material was pulled in many cases\n            from storage boxes marked personal and political from both\n            shipments of material. The files on the apple sales came\n            chiefly from the attic of \n            Rosemont. They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization. But it must be\n            repeated that there is a gap for the gubernatorial years.\n            We assume material for this part of his official life is to\n            be found in the Executive Papers of the Library of\n            Virginia.","The chronology for Series II is by one year periods,\n            and, of course, alphabetically by topic and correspondent\n            within those time spans.","This material had been stored at Rosemont, and\n            practically every piece was rearranged.","Series III: Political, 1933-1965: \nSeries III contains material on Byrd's senatorial\n            career. Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965). Within these\n            sub-series, material is again alphabetically by\n            correspondent and topic.","These papers came to the University from the Victory Van\n            Storage Company. They had evidently been boxed in the\n            Senator's Washington office after his death. As with Series\n            II, it was necessary to go through nearly every folder to\n            assure consistency.","Series IV: Miscellaneous topics: \nDivided into 8 sub-series, this section contains\n            material which would not easily fit into the first three\n            series or were simply too large to be integrated.","A. Appointment \u0026 engagement books, 1928-29 \u0026\n            1950-1965","B. Magazine articles, 1920-1966. This sub-series is\n            comprised of articles by and about Byrd, and some collected\n            by him. There are some drafts and correspondence re the\n            articles, and their publication. The arrangement is\n            chronological.","C. Newsclippings, 1924-1966. A miscellaneous collection\n            dealing with a wide range of topics-- \n            Harry F. Byrd, \n            Virginia politics, economic, issues,\n            etc. The arrangement is chronological.","D. Constituents' mail, 1957, 1960-1965. Comprised of\n            letters to Byrd from his \"national\" constituency,\n            commending, and, in some instances, condemning Byrd's\n            position on various issues. In addition, this sub- series\n            contains three bound volumes of letters, 1963 April-May,\n            from various chapters of the \n            Virginia Chamber of Commerce.","E. \n            Harry F. ByrdVoting Record, 1933-1965.\n            Consists of seven bound volumes and five boxes of material\n            detailing the Senator's voting record for 1933-1943 and\n            1953-1965. However, in 1957 the first session of the 85th\n            Congress is not represented.","F. Speeches and Statements. This sub-series is divided\n            into several sections. Byrd kept a \"Reference file of other\n            people's speeches.\" This is arranged alphabetically and is\n            indexed. There is also another alphabet of other people's\n            speeches which was pulled together from various locations,\n            and is listed item by item. Secondly, there is a large file\n            of Byrd's speeches, 1920-1965, arranged chronologically,\n            which contains many original drafts with holograph\n            corrections, and mimeograph copies. Thirdly, is a section\n            of Public Statements, 1922-1965, which includes press\n            releases.","G. Scrapbooks, 1906-1965. Consists of 110 loose volumes\n            and two boxes. The first two volumes in this sub-series are\n            scrapbooks of \n            Richard E. Byrd, Sr.The remaining\n            items contain newspapers, photographs and some\n            correspondence pertinent to \n            Harry Byrd's career.","H. Cartoon Collection, Photographs and Awards.\n            Throughout his political life, Byrd collected cartoons\n            about himself. They lined the walls of his Senate office.\n            There is a card index to these 575 framed drawings and a\n            microfilm has been prepared of each for reference use. This\n            sub-series also contains photographs of political figures\n            and friends, and various awards and certificates presented\n            to the Senator.","Series V: Byrd and Flood Families: \nThis series contains papers relating to Richard Evelyn Byrd, Sr. and Jr., Harry F. Byrd, Jr., Hal D. Flood, Joel W. Floodand various other Byrds and Floods. It is divided into 5 sub-series.","A. \n            Richard E. Byrd, Sr., father of the\n            Senator and prominent member of the Virginia House of\n            Delegates. His papers, 1907-1928, contain political and\n            legal correspondence with Harry F. Byrd and others. The\n            arrangement is generally chronological with some topical\n            breakdown.","B. \n            Richard E. Byrd, Jr., U. S. Navy\n            Admiral and polar explorer. Papers, 1917-1957, consist\n            chiefly of correspondence between the Admiral and the\n            Senator--many of a political nature--and letters from the\n            Senator concerning his brother. There is material relating\n            to the death of Admiral Byrd and the creation of various\n            memorials to him.","C. \n            Harry Flood Byrd, Jr.: The\n            correspondence of Byrd, Jr. with Byrd, Sr. has been pulled\n            together from various locations and placed in this\n            sub-series. In addition, there is material concerning\n            legislation the younger Byrd proposed, and comments by him\n            on the Civil Rights Act of 1965.","D. Various members of the Byrd Family. Chiefly correspondence,\n            1917-1965, of Senator Byrd with various members of the\n            family, and with non-relatives concerning Byrd genealogy.\n            There is a segment of condolence letters, 1957, to the\n            Senator on the death of his mother, \n            Eleanor Bolling (Flood) Byrd. Letters\n            from prominent people have been pulled from this subseries\n            and placed in Series III.","E. \n            Flood Family. This sub-series is\n            composed of 2 sections. First is a topical arrangement of \n            Hal D. Floodpapers, 1896-1922. There\n            is some political correspondence, although the Library of\n            Congress holds the more important pieces of Flood's papers.\n            In addition, there is business \u0026 legal correspondence,\n            and material relating to the settlements of various\n            estates. Of note are the \n            Thomas S.

There\n         was a great deal of inconsistency and repetition within and\n         between the three divisions. As a result, it was decided that\n         a thorough reorganization was in order. Five series were\n         evolved which are described below.","The arrangement is chronological and varies from series to\n         series. Within each chronology generally topics and\n         correspondents are alphabetized together. Individual folders\n         were made when a person was a voluminous correspondent or was\n         politically prominent. Topics always have separate folders and\n         will be specifically mentioned in the guide. The researcher\n         must be willing to search topical files for information on\n         specific people. For example, there could be Watt Abbitt\n         correspondence in the Alfalfa Club, the Luncheons, and the\n         Senate Campaign of 1964 folders.","Series I: Business, 1914-1965: \nCorrespondence, memoranda, bills, and receipts comprise\n            this Series. Senator Byrd's various business interests are\n            represented--apple and peach growing, general farming, cold\n            storage, and newspaper publishing. In the pre-1932 years,\n            those papers detail exhaustively Senator Byrd's financial\n            career, especially in the apple business.","There are three subsections to Series I. First, a\n            general business section arranged chronologically and\n            within the year alphabetically by correspondent and topic.\n            There follows a section on the apple sales of specific\n            orchards-- Rosemont, \n            Turkey Knob, and \n            Timberville. Thirdly, a section on\n            general apple sales is arranged chronologically.","The general business material was pulled in many cases\n            from storage boxes marked personal and political from both\n            shipments of material. The files on the apple sales came\n            chiefly from the attic of \n            Rosemont. They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization.

Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965).

There\n         was a great deal of inconsistency and repetition within and\n         between the three divisions. As a result, it was decided that\n         a thorough reorganization was in order. Five series were\n         evolved which are described below.","The arrangement is chronological and varies from series to\n         series. Within each chronology generally topics and\n         correspondents are alphabetized together. Individual folders\n         were made when a person was a voluminous correspondent or was\n         politically prominent. Topics always have separate folders and\n         will be specifically mentioned in the guide. The researcher\n         must be willing to search topical files for information on\n         specific people. For example, there could be Watt Abbitt\n         correspondence in the Alfalfa Club, the Luncheons, and the\n         Senate Campaign of 1964 folders.","Series I: Business, 1914-1965: \nCorrespondence, memoranda, bills, and receipts comprise\n            this Series. Senator Byrd's various business interests are\n            represented--apple and peach growing, general farming, cold\n            storage, and newspaper publishing. In the pre-1932 years,\n            those papers detail exhaustively Senator Byrd's financial\n            career, especially in the apple business.","There are three subsections to Series I. First, a\n            general business section arranged chronologically and\n            within the year alphabetically by correspondent and topic.\n            There follows a section on the apple sales of specific\n            orchards-- Rosemont, \n            Turkey Knob, and \n            Timberville. Thirdly, a section on\n            general apple sales is arranged chronologically.","The general business material was pulled in many cases\n            from storage boxes marked personal and political from both\n            shipments of material. The files on the apple sales came\n            chiefly from the attic of \n            Rosemont. They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization. But it must be\n            repeated that there is a gap for the gubernatorial years.\n            We assume material for this part of his official life is to\n            be found in the Executive Papers of the Library of\n            Virginia.","The chronology for Series II is by one year periods,\n            and, of course, alphabetically by topic and correspondent\n            within those time spans.","This material had been stored at Rosemont, and\n            practically every piece was rearranged.","Series III: Political, 1933-1965: \nSeries III contains material on Byrd's senatorial\n            career. Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965). Within these\n            sub-series, material is again alphabetically by\n            correspondent and topic.","These papers came to the University from the Victory Van\n            Storage Company. They had evidently been boxed in the\n            Senator's Washington office after his death. As with Series\n            II, it was necessary to go through nearly every folder to\n            assure consistency.","Series IV: Miscellaneous topics: \nDivided into 8 sub-series, this section contains\n            material which would not easily fit into the first three\n            series or were simply too large to be integrated.","A. Appointment \u0026 engagement books, 1928-29 \u0026\n            1950-1965","B. Magazine articles, 1920-1966. This sub-series is\n            comprised of articles by and about Byrd, and some collected\n            by him. There are some drafts and correspondence re the\n            articles, and their publication. The arrangement is\n            chronological.","C. Newsclippings, 1924-1966. A miscellaneous collection\n            dealing with a wide range of topics-- \n            Harry F. Byrd, \n            Virginia politics, economic, issues,\n            etc. The arrangement is chronological.","D. Constituents' mail, 1957, 1960-1965. Comprised of\n            letters to Byrd from his \"national\" constituency,\n            commending, and, in some instances, condemning Byrd's\n            position on various issues. In addition, this sub- series\n            contains three bound volumes of letters, 1963 April-May,\n            from various chapters of the \n            Virginia Chamber of Commerce.","E. \n            Harry F. ByrdVoting Record, 1933-1965.\n            Consists of seven bound volumes and five boxes of material\n            detailing the Senator's voting record for 1933-1943 and\n            1953-1965. However, in 1957 the first session of the 85th\n            Congress is not represented.","F. Speeches and Statements. This sub-series is divided\n            into several sections. Byrd kept a \"Reference file of other\n            people's speeches.\" This is arranged alphabetically and is\n            indexed. There is also another alphabet of other people's\n            speeches which was pulled together from various locations,\n            and is listed item by item. Secondly, there is a large file\n            of Byrd's speeches, 1920-1965, arranged chronologically,\n            which contains many original drafts with holograph\n            corrections, and mimeograph copies. Thirdly, is a section\n            of Public Statements, 1922-1965, which includes press\n            releases.","G. Scrapbooks, 1906-1965. Consists of 110 loose volumes\n            and two boxes. The first two volumes in this sub-series are\n            scrapbooks of \n            Richard E. Byrd, Sr.The remaining\n            items contain newspapers, photographs and some\n            correspondence pertinent to \n            Harry Byrd's career.","H. Cartoon Collection, Photographs and Awards.\n            Throughout his political life, Byrd collected cartoons\n            about himself. They lined the walls of his Senate office.\n            There is a card index to these 575 framed drawings and a\n            microfilm has been prepared of each for reference use. This\n            sub-series also contains photographs of political figures\n            and friends, and various awards and certificates presented\n            to the Senator.","Series V: Byrd and Flood Families: \nThis series contains papers relating to Richard Evelyn Byrd, Sr. and Jr., Harry F.

His papers, 1907-1928, contain political and\n            legal correspondence with Harry F. Byrd and others. The\n            arrangement is generally chronological with some topical\n            breakdown.","B. \n            Richard E. Byrd, Jr., U. S. Navy\n            Admiral and polar explorer. Papers, 1917-1957, consist\n            chiefly of correspondence between the Admiral and the\n            Senator--many of a political nature--and letters from the\n            Senator concerning his brother. There is material relating\n            to the death of Admiral Byrd and the creation of various\n            memorials to him.","C. \n            Harry Flood Byrd, Jr.: The\n            correspondence of Byrd, Jr. with Byrd, Sr. has been pulled\n            together from various locations and placed in this\n            sub-series. In addition, there is material concerning\n            legislation the younger Byrd proposed, and comments by him\n            on the Civil Rights Act of 1965.","D. Various members of the Byrd Family.

Letters\n            from prominent people have been pulled from this subseries\n            and placed in Series III.","E. \n            Flood Family. This sub-series is\n            composed of 2 sections. First is a topical arrangement of \n            Hal D. Floodpapers, 1896-1922. There\n            is some political correspondence, although the Library of\n            Congress holds the more important pieces of Flood's papers.\n            In addition, there is business \u0026 legal correspondence,\n            and material relating to the settlements of various\n            estates.

They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization. But it must be\n            repeated that there is a gap for the gubernatorial years.\n            We assume material for this part of his official life is to\n            be found in the Executive Papers of the Library of\n            Virginia.","The chronology for Series II is by one year periods,\n            and, of course, alphabetically by topic and correspondent\n            within those time spans.","This material had been stored at Rosemont, and\n            practically every piece was rearranged.","Series III: Political, 1933-1965: \nSeries III contains material on Byrd's senatorial\n            career. Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965). Within these\n            sub-series, material is again alphabetically by\n            correspondent and topic.","These papers came to the University from the Victory Van\n            Storage Company. They had evidently been boxed in the\n            Senator's Washington office after his death. As with Series\n            II, it was necessary to go through nearly every folder to\n            assure consistency.","Series IV: Miscellaneous topics: \nDivided into 8 sub-series, this section contains\n            material which would not easily fit into the first three\n            series or were simply too large to be integrated.","A.

In addition, this sub- series\n            contains three bound volumes of letters, 1963 April-May,\n            from various chapters of the \n            Virginia Chamber of Commerce.","E. \n            Harry F. ByrdVoting Record, 1933-1965.\n            Consists of seven bound volumes and five boxes of material\n            detailing the Senator's voting record for 1933-1943 and\n            1953-1965. However, in 1957 the first session of the 85th\n            Congress is not represented.","F. Speeches and Statements. This sub-series is divided\n            into several sections. Byrd kept a \"Reference file of other\n            people's speeches.\" This is arranged alphabetically and is\n            indexed. There is also another alphabet of other people's\n            speeches which was pulled together from various locations,\n            and is listed item by item. Secondly, there is a large file\n            of Byrd's speeches, 1920-1965, arranged chronologically,\n            which contains many original drafts with holograph\n            corrections, and mimeograph copies. Thirdly, is a section\n            of Public Statements, 1922-1965, which includes press\n            releases.","G. Scrapbooks, 1906-1965. Consists of 110 loose volumes\n            and two boxes.

There is material relating\n            to the death of Admiral Byrd and the creation of various\n            memorials to him.","C. \n            Harry Flood Byrd, Jr.: The\n            correspondence of Byrd, Jr. with Byrd, Sr. has been pulled\n            together from various locations and placed in this\n            sub-series.

Senator Byrd's various business interests are\n            represented--apple and peach growing, general farming, cold\n            storage, and newspaper publishing. In the pre-1932 years,\n            those papers detail exhaustively Senator Byrd's financial\n            career, especially in the apple business.","There are three subsections to Series I. First, a\n            general business section arranged chronologically and\n            within the year alphabetically by correspondent and topic.\n            There follows a section on the apple sales of specific\n            orchards-- Rosemont, \n            Turkey Knob, and \n            Timberville. Thirdly, a section on\n            general apple sales is arranged chronologically.","The general business material was pulled in many cases\n            from storage boxes marked personal and political from both\n            shipments of material. The files on the apple sales came\n            chiefly from the attic of \n            Rosemont.

But it must be\n            repeated that there is a gap for the gubernatorial years.\n            We assume material for this part of his official life is to\n            be found in the Executive Papers of the Library of\n            Virginia.","The chronology for Series II is by one year periods,\n            and, of course, alphabetically by topic and correspondent\n            within those time spans.","This material had been stored at Rosemont, and\n            practically every piece was rearranged.","Series III: Political, 1933-1965: \nSeries III contains material on Byrd's senatorial\n            career. Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965). Within these\n            sub-series, material is again alphabetically by\n            correspondent and topic.","These papers came to the University from the Victory Van\n            Storage Company. They had evidently been boxed in the\n            Senator's Washington office after his death. As with Series\n            II, it was necessary to go through nearly every folder to\n            assure consistency.","Series IV: Miscellaneous topics: \nDivided into 8 sub-series, this section contains\n            material which would not easily fit into the first three\n            series or were simply too large to be integrated.","A.

In addition, this sub- series\n            contains three bound volumes of letters, 1963 April-May,\n            from various chapters of the \n            Virginia Chamber of Commerce.","E. \n            Harry F.

However, in 1957 the first session of the 85th\n            Congress is not represented.","F. Speeches and Statements. This sub-series is divided\n            into several sections. Byrd kept a \"Reference file of other\n            people's speeches.\" This is arranged alphabetically and is\n            indexed. There is also another alphabet of other people's\n            speeches which was pulled together from various locations,\n            and is listed item by item. Secondly, there is a large file\n            of Byrd's speeches, 1920-1965, arranged chronologically,\n            which contains many original drafts with holograph\n            corrections, and mimeograph copies. Thirdly, is a section\n            of Public Statements, 1922-1965, which includes press\n            releases.","G. Scrapbooks, 1906-1965. Consists of 110 loose volumes\n            and two boxes. The first two volumes in this sub-series are\n            scrapbooks of \n            Richard E.

Of note are the \n            Thomas S. Martinestate and that of \n            Hal Floodhimself.","The second section chiefly contains the estates of other\n            members of the \n            Flood family: \n            Joel W. Flood, \n            Anna Portner Flood, \n            Bolling Byrd Flood, and \n            Eleanor F. Flood, \n            Hal Flood, \n            Richard E. Byrd, Sr., and \n            Harry F. Byrd, Sr.were all executors\n            or guardians to these Floods and their papers are found in\n            the group.","A small group of correspondence, 1941-1965, in this\n            sub-series from the Senator concerns Flood genealogy."],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e\n        \u003clist type=\"simple\"\u003e\n          \u003citem\u003e1887 --born Martinsburg, W.

There\n         was a great deal of inconsistency and repetition within and\n         between the three divisions. As a result, it was decided that\n         a thorough reorganization was in order. Five series were\n         evolved which are described below.","The arrangement is chronological and varies from series to\n         series. Within each chronology generally topics and\n         correspondents are alphabetized together. Individual folders\n         were made when a person was a voluminous correspondent or was\n         politically prominent. Topics always have separate folders and\n         will be specifically mentioned in the guide. The researcher\n         must be willing to search topical files for information on\n         specific people. For example, there could be Watt Abbitt\n         correspondence in the Alfalfa Club, the Luncheons, and the\n         Senate Campaign of 1964 folders.","Series I: Business, 1914-1965: \nCorrespondence, memoranda, bills, and receipts comprise\n            this Series. Senator Byrd's various business interests are\n            represented--apple and peach growing, general farming, cold\n            storage, and newspaper publishing. In the pre-1932 years,\n            those papers detail exhaustively Senator Byrd's financial\n            career, especially in the apple business.","There are three subsections to Series I. First, a\n            general business section arranged chronologically and\n            within the year alphabetically by correspondent and topic.\n            There follows a section on the apple sales of specific\n            orchards-- Rosemont, \n            Turkey Knob, and \n            Timberville. Thirdly, a section on\n            general apple sales is arranged chronologically.","The general business material was pulled in many cases\n            from storage boxes marked personal and political from both\n            shipments of material. The files on the apple sales came\n            chiefly from the attic of \n            Rosemont. They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization. But it must be\n            repeated that there is a gap for the gubernatorial years.\n            We assume material for this part of his official life is to\n            be found in the Executive Papers of the Library of\n            Virginia.","The chronology for Series II is by one year periods,\n            and, of course, alphabetically by topic and correspondent\n            within those time spans.","This material had been stored at Rosemont, and\n            practically every piece was rearranged.","Series III: Political, 1933-1965: \nSeries III contains material on Byrd's senatorial\n            career. Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965). Within these\n            sub-series, material is again alphabetically by\n            correspondent and topic.","These papers came to the University from the Victory Van\n            Storage Company. They had evidently been boxed in the\n            Senator's Washington office after his death. As with Series\n            II, it was necessary to go through nearly every folder to\n            assure consistency.","Series IV: Miscellaneous topics: \nDivided into 8 sub-series, this section contains\n            material which would not easily fit into the first three\n            series or were simply too large to be integrated.","A. Appointment \u0026 engagement books, 1928-29 \u0026\n            1950-1965","B. Magazine articles, 1920-1966. This sub-series is\n            comprised of articles by and about Byrd, and some collected\n            by him. There are some drafts and correspondence re the\n            articles, and their publication. The arrangement is\n            chronological.","C. Newsclippings, 1924-1966. A miscellaneous collection\n            dealing with a wide range of topics-- \n            Harry F.

There\n         was a great deal of inconsistency and repetition within and\n         between the three divisions. As a result, it was decided that\n         a thorough reorganization was in order. Five series were\n         evolved which are described below.","The arrangement is chronological and varies from series to\n         series. Within each chronology generally topics and\n         correspondents are alphabetized together. Individual folders\n         were made when a person was a voluminous correspondent or was\n         politically prominent. Topics always have separate folders and\n         will be specifically mentioned in the guide. The researcher\n         must be willing to search topical files for information on\n         specific people. For example, there could be Watt Abbitt\n         correspondence in the Alfalfa Club, the Luncheons, and the\n         Senate Campaign of 1964 folders.","Series I: Business, 1914-1965: \nCorrespondence, memoranda, bills, and receipts comprise\n            this Series. Senator Byrd's various business interests are\n            represented--apple and peach growing, general farming, cold\n            storage, and newspaper publishing. In the pre-1932 years,\n            those papers detail exhaustively Senator Byrd's financial\n            career, especially in the apple business.","There are three subsections to Series I. First, a\n            general business section arranged chronologically and\n            within the year alphabetically by correspondent and topic.\n            There follows a section on the apple sales of specific\n            orchards-- Rosemont, \n            Turkey Knob, and \n            Timberville. Thirdly, a section on\n            general apple sales is arranged chronologically.","The general business material was pulled in many cases\n            from storage boxes marked personal and political from both\n            shipments of material. The files on the apple sales came\n            chiefly from the attic of \n            Rosemont. They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization. But it must be\n            repeated that there is a gap for the gubernatorial years.\n            We assume material for this part of his official life is to\n            be found in the Executive Papers of the Library of\n            Virginia.","The chronology for Series II is by one year periods,\n            and, of course, alphabetically by topic and correspondent\n            within those time spans.","This material had been stored at Rosemont, and\n            practically every piece was rearranged.","Series III: Political, 1933-1965: \nSeries III contains material on Byrd's senatorial\n            career. Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965). Within these\n            sub-series, material is again alphabetically by\n            correspondent and topic.","These papers came to the University from the Victory Van\n            Storage Company. They had evidently been boxed in the\n            Senator's Washington office after his death. As with Series\n            II, it was necessary to go through nearly every folder to\n            assure consistency.","Series IV: Miscellaneous topics: \nDivided into 8 sub-series, this section contains\n            material which would not easily fit into the first three\n            series or were simply too large to be integrated.","A.

In addition, this sub- series\n            contains three bound volumes of letters, 1963 April-May,\n            from various chapters of the \n            Virginia Chamber of Commerce.","E. \n            Harry F.

However, in 1957 the first session of the 85th\n            Congress is not represented.","F. Speeches and Statements. This sub-series is divided\n            into several sections. Byrd kept a \"Reference file of other\n            people's speeches.\" This is arranged alphabetically and is\n            indexed. There is also another alphabet of other people's\n            speeches which was pulled together from various locations,\n            and is listed item by item. Secondly, there is a large file\n            of Byrd's speeches, 1920-1965, arranged chronologically,\n            which contains many original drafts with holograph\n            corrections, and mimeograph copies. Thirdly, is a section\n            of Public Statements, 1922-1965, which includes press\n            releases.","G. Scrapbooks, 1906-1965. Consists of 110 loose volumes\n            and two boxes. The first two volumes in this sub-series are\n            scrapbooks of \n            Richard E.

There\n         was a great deal of inconsistency and repetition within and\n         between the three divisions. As a result, it was decided that\n         a thorough reorganization was in order. Five series were\n         evolved which are described below.","The arrangement is chronological and varies from series to\n         series. Within each chronology generally topics and\n         correspondents are alphabetized together. Individual folders\n         were made when a person was a voluminous correspondent or was\n         politically prominent. Topics always have separate folders and\n         will be specifically mentioned in the guide. The researcher\n         must be willing to search topical files for information on\n         specific people. For example, there could be Watt Abbitt\n         correspondence in the Alfalfa Club, the Luncheons, and the\n         Senate Campaign of 1964 folders.","Series I: Business, 1914-1965: \nCorrespondence, memoranda, bills, and receipts comprise\n            this Series. Senator Byrd's various business interests are\n            represented--apple and peach growing, general farming, cold\n            storage, and newspaper publishing. In the pre-1932 years,\n            those papers detail exhaustively Senator Byrd's financial\n            career, especially in the apple business.","There are three subsections to Series I. First, a\n            general business section arranged chronologically and\n            within the year alphabetically by correspondent and topic.\n            There follows a section on the apple sales of specific\n            orchards-- Rosemont, \n            Turkey Knob, and \n            Timberville. Thirdly, a section on\n            general apple sales is arranged chronologically.","The general business material was pulled in many cases\n            from storage boxes marked personal and political from both\n            shipments of material. The files on the apple sales came\n            chiefly from the attic of \n            Rosemont. They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization. But it must be\n            repeated that there is a gap for the gubernatorial years.\n            We assume material for this part of his official life is to\n            be found in the Executive Papers of the Library of\n            Virginia.","The chronology for Series II is by one year periods,\n            and, of course, alphabetically by topic and correspondent\n            within those time spans.","This material had been stored at Rosemont, and\n            practically every piece was rearranged.","Series III: Political, 1933-1965: \nSeries III contains material on Byrd's senatorial\n            career. Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965). Within these\n            sub-series, material is again alphabetically by\n            correspondent and topic.","These papers came to the University from the Victory Van\n            Storage Company. They had evidently been boxed in the\n            Senator's Washington office after his death. As with Series\n            II, it was necessary to go through nearly every folder to\n            assure consistency.","Series IV: Miscellaneous topics: \nDivided into 8 sub-series, this section contains\n            material which would not easily fit into the first three\n            series or were simply too large to be integrated.","A. Appointment \u0026 engagement books, 1928-29 \u0026\n            1950-1965","B. Magazine articles, 1920-1966. This sub-series is\n            comprised of articles by and about Byrd, and some collected\n            by him. There are some drafts and correspondence re the\n            articles, and their publication. The arrangement is\n            chronological.","C. Newsclippings, 1924-1966. A miscellaneous collection\n            dealing with a wide range of topics-- \n            Harry F. Byrd, \n            Virginia politics, economic, issues,\n            etc. The arrangement is chronological.","D. Constituents' mail, 1957, 1960-1965. Comprised of\n            letters to Byrd from his \"national\" constituency,\n            commending, and, in some instances, condemning Byrd's\n            position on various issues. In addition, this sub- series\n            contains three bound volumes of letters, 1963 April-May,\n            from various chapters of the \n            Virginia Chamber of Commerce.","E. \n            Harry F. ByrdVoting Record, 1933-1965.\n            Consists of seven bound volumes and five boxes of material\n            detailing the Senator's voting record for 1933-1943 and\n            1953-1965. However, in 1957 the first session of the 85th\n            Congress is not represented.","F. Speeches and Statements. This sub-series is divided\n            into several sections. Byrd kept a \"Reference file of other\n            people's speeches.\" This is arranged alphabetically and is\n            indexed. There is also another alphabet of other people's\n            speeches which was pulled together from various locations,\n            and is listed item by item. Secondly, there is a large file\n            of Byrd's speeches, 1920-1965, arranged chronologically,\n            which contains many original drafts with holograph\n            corrections, and mimeograph copies. Thirdly, is a section\n            of Public Statements, 1922-1965, which includes press\n            releases.","G. Scrapbooks, 1906-1965. Consists of 110 loose volumes\n            and two boxes. The first two volumes in this sub-series are\n            scrapbooks of \n            Richard E. Byrd, Sr.The remaining\n            items contain newspapers, photographs and some\n            correspondence pertinent to \n            Harry Byrd's career.","H. Cartoon Collection, Photographs and Awards.\n            Throughout his political life, Byrd collected cartoons\n            about himself. They lined the walls of his Senate office.\n            There is a card index to these 575 framed drawings and a\n            microfilm has been prepared of each for reference use. This\n            sub-series also contains photographs of political figures\n            and friends, and various awards and certificates presented\n            to the Senator.","Series V: Byrd and Flood Families: \nThis series contains papers relating to Richard Evelyn Byrd, Sr. and Jr., Harry F. Byrd, Jr., Hal D. Flood, Joel W. Floodand various other Byrds and Floods. It is divided into 5 sub-series.","A. \n            Richard E.

His papers, 1907-1928, contain political and\n            legal correspondence with Harry F. Byrd and others. The\n            arrangement is generally chronological with some topical\n            breakdown.","B. \n            Richard E. Byrd, Jr., U. S. Navy\n            Admiral and polar explorer. Papers, 1917-1957, consist\n            chiefly of correspondence between the Admiral and the\n            Senator--many of a political nature--and letters from the\n            Senator concerning his brother. There is material relating\n            to the death of Admiral Byrd and the creation of various\n            memorials to him.","C. \n            Harry Flood Byrd, Jr.: The\n            correspondence of Byrd, Jr. with Byrd, Sr. has been pulled\n            together from various locations and placed in this\n            sub-series. In addition, there is material concerning\n            legislation the younger Byrd proposed, and comments by him\n            on the Civil Rights Act of 1965.","D.

Letters\n            from prominent people have been pulled from this subseries\n            and placed in Series III.","E. \n            Flood Family. This sub-series is\n            composed of 2 sections. First is a topical arrangement of \n            Hal D. Floodpapers, 1896-1922. There\n            is some political correspondence, although the Library of\n            Congress holds the more important pieces of Flood's papers.\n            In addition, there is business \u0026 legal correspondence,\n            and material relating to the settlements of various\n            estates. Of note are the \n            Thomas S.

There\n         was a great deal of inconsistency and repetition within and\n         between the three divisions. As a result, it was decided that\n         a thorough reorganization was in order. Five series were\n         evolved which are described below.","The arrangement is chronological and varies from series to\n         series. Within each chronology generally topics and\n         correspondents are alphabetized together. Individual folders\n         were made when a person was a voluminous correspondent or was\n         politically prominent. Topics always have separate folders and\n         will be specifically mentioned in the guide. The researcher\n         must be willing to search topical files for information on\n         specific people. For example, there could be Watt Abbitt\n         correspondence in the Alfalfa Club, the Luncheons, and the\n         Senate Campaign of 1964 folders.","Series I: Business, 1914-1965: \nCorrespondence, memoranda, bills, and receipts comprise\n            this Series. Senator Byrd's various business interests are\n            represented--apple and peach growing, general farming, cold\n            storage, and newspaper publishing. In the pre-1932 years,\n            those papers detail exhaustively Senator Byrd's financial\n            career, especially in the apple business.","There are three subsections to Series I. First, a\n            general business section arranged chronologically and\n            within the year alphabetically by correspondent and topic.\n            There follows a section on the apple sales of specific\n            orchards-- Rosemont, \n            Turkey Knob, and \n            Timberville. Thirdly, a section on\n            general apple sales is arranged chronologically.","The general business material was pulled in many cases\n            from storage boxes marked personal and political from both\n            shipments of material. The files on the apple sales came\n            chiefly from the attic of \n            Rosemont. They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization.

Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965).

There\n         was a great deal of inconsistency and repetition within and\n         between the three divisions. As a result, it was decided that\n         a thorough reorganization was in order. Five series were\n         evolved which are described below.","The arrangement is chronological and varies from series to\n         series. Within each chronology generally topics and\n         correspondents are alphabetized together. Individual folders\n         were made when a person was a voluminous correspondent or was\n         politically prominent. Topics always have separate folders and\n         will be specifically mentioned in the guide. The researcher\n         must be willing to search topical files for information on\n         specific people. For example, there could be Watt Abbitt\n         correspondence in the Alfalfa Club, the Luncheons, and the\n         Senate Campaign of 1964 folders.","Series I: Business, 1914-1965: \nCorrespondence, memoranda, bills, and receipts comprise\n            this Series. Senator Byrd's various business interests are\n            represented--apple and peach growing, general farming, cold\n            storage, and newspaper publishing. In the pre-1932 years,\n            those papers detail exhaustively Senator Byrd's financial\n            career, especially in the apple business.","There are three subsections to Series I. First, a\n            general business section arranged chronologically and\n            within the year alphabetically by correspondent and topic.\n            There follows a section on the apple sales of specific\n            orchards-- Rosemont, \n            Turkey Knob, and \n            Timberville. Thirdly, a section on\n            general apple sales is arranged chronologically.","The general business material was pulled in many cases\n            from storage boxes marked personal and political from both\n            shipments of material. The files on the apple sales came\n            chiefly from the attic of \n            Rosemont. They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization. But it must be\n            repeated that there is a gap for the gubernatorial years.\n            We assume material for this part of his official life is to\n            be found in the Executive Papers of the Library of\n            Virginia.","The chronology for Series II is by one year periods,\n            and, of course, alphabetically by topic and correspondent\n            within those time spans.","This material had been stored at Rosemont, and\n            practically every piece was rearranged.","Series III: Political, 1933-1965: \nSeries III contains material on Byrd's senatorial\n            career. Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965). Within these\n            sub-series, material is again alphabetically by\n            correspondent and topic.","These papers came to the University from the Victory Van\n            Storage Company. They had evidently been boxed in the\n            Senator's Washington office after his death. As with Series\n            II, it was necessary to go through nearly every folder to\n            assure consistency.","Series IV: Miscellaneous topics: \nDivided into 8 sub-series, this section contains\n            material which would not easily fit into the first three\n            series or were simply too large to be integrated.","A.

This sub-series is\n            comprised of articles by and about Byrd, and some collected\n            by him. There are some drafts and correspondence re the\n            articles, and their publication. The arrangement is\n            chronological.","C. Newsclippings, 1924-1966.

In addition, this sub- series\n            contains three bound volumes of letters, 1963 April-May,\n            from various chapters of the \n            Virginia Chamber of Commerce.","E. \n            Harry F.

However, in 1957 the first session of the 85th\n            Congress is not represented.","F. Speeches and Statements. This sub-series is divided\n            into several sections. Byrd kept a \"Reference file of other\n            people's speeches.\" This is arranged alphabetically and is\n            indexed. There is also another alphabet of other people's\n            speeches which was pulled together from various locations,\n            and is listed item by item. Secondly, there is a large file\n            of Byrd's speeches, 1920-1965, arranged chronologically,\n            which contains many original drafts with holograph\n            corrections, and mimeograph copies. Thirdly, is a section\n            of Public Statements, 1922-1965, which includes press\n            releases.","G. Scrapbooks, 1906-1965. Consists of 110 loose volumes\n            and two boxes. The first two volumes in this sub-series are\n            scrapbooks of \n            Richard E.

Cartoon Collection, Photographs and Awards.\n            Throughout his political life, Byrd collected cartoons\n            about himself. They lined the walls of his Senate office.\n            There is a card index to these 575 framed drawings and a\n            microfilm has been prepared of each for reference use. This\n            sub-series also contains photographs of political figures\n            and friends, and various awards and certificates presented\n            to the Senator.","Series V: Byrd and Flood Families: \nThis series contains papers relating to Richard Evelyn Byrd, Sr. and Jr., Harry F.

His papers, 1907-1928, contain political and\n            legal correspondence with Harry F. Byrd and others. The\n            arrangement is generally chronological with some topical\n            breakdown.","B. \n            Richard E. Byrd, Jr., U. S. Navy\n            Admiral and polar explorer.

There is material relating\n            to the death of Admiral Byrd and the creation of various\n            memorials to him.","C. \n            Harry Flood Byrd, Jr.: The\n            correspondence of Byrd, Jr. with Byrd, Sr. has been pulled\n            together from various locations and placed in this\n            sub-series.

They are chiefly bills and\n            receipts, and orders for apples.","Series II: Political, 1911-1932: \nThis series documents Senator Byrd's rise to political\n            prominence and gives a detailed picture of the formation\n            and maintenance of the Byrd Organization. But it must be\n            repeated that there is a gap for the gubernatorial years.\n            We assume material for this part of his official life is to\n            be found in the Executive Papers of the Library of\n            Virginia.","The chronology for Series II is by one year periods,\n            and, of course, alphabetically by topic and correspondent\n            within those time spans.","This material had been stored at Rosemont, and\n            practically every piece was rearranged.","Series III: Political, 1933-1965: \nSeries III contains material on Byrd's senatorial\n            career. Although there is correspondence with national\n            political figures, both qualitatively and quantitatively,\n            the materials deal with Virginia politics and government\n            rather than national politics and government.","Chronological arrangements for this series is by four\n            year subsections, save for the last which is a 5 year\n            period (1933-1936; 1937-1940; 1945-1948; 1949-1952;\n            1953-1956; 1941-1944; 1957-1960; 1961-1965). Within these\n            sub-series, material is again alphabetically by\n            correspondent and topic.","These papers came to the University from the Victory Van\n            Storage Company. They had evidently been boxed in the\n            Senator's Washington office after his death. As with Series\n            II, it was necessary to go through nearly every folder to\n            assure consistency.","Series IV: Miscellaneous topics: \nDivided into 8 sub-series, this section contains\n            material which would not easily fit into the first three\n            series or were simply too large to be integrated.","A.

In addition, this sub- series\n            contains three bound volumes of letters, 1963 April-May,\n            from various chapters of the \n            Virginia Chamber of Commerce.","E. \n            Harry F. ByrdVoting Record, 1933-1965.\n            Consists of seven bound volumes and five boxes of material\n            detailing the Senator's voting record for 1933-1943 and\n            1953-1965. However, in 1957 the first session of the 85th\n            Congress is not represented.","F. Speeches and Statements. This sub-series is divided\n            into several sections. Byrd kept a \"Reference file of other\n            people's speeches.\" This is arranged alphabetically and is\n            indexed. There is also another alphabet of other people's\n            speeches which was pulled together from various locations,\n            and is listed item by item. Secondly, there is a large file\n            of Byrd's speeches, 1920-1965, arranged chronologically,\n            which contains many original drafts with holograph\n            corrections, and mimeograph copies. Thirdly, is a section\n            of Public Statements, 1922-1965, which includes press\n            releases.","G. Scrapbooks, 1906-1965. Consists of 110 loose volumes\n            and two boxes. The first two volumes in this sub-series are\n            scrapbooks of \n            Richard E.

Cartoon Collection, Photographs and Awards.\n            Throughout his political life, Byrd collected cartoons\n            about himself. They lined the walls of his Senate office.\n            There is a card index to these 575 framed drawings and a\n            microfilm has been prepared of each for reference use. This\n            sub-series also contains photographs of political figures\n            and friends, and various awards and certificates presented\n            to the Senator.","Series V: Byrd and Flood Families: \nThis series contains papers relating to Richard Evelyn Byrd, Sr. and Jr., Harry F. Byrd, Jr., Hal D. Flood, Joel W. Floodand various other Byrds and Floods. It is divided into 5 sub-series.","A. \n            Richard E.

His papers, 1907-1928, contain political and\n            legal correspondence with Harry F. Byrd and others. The\n            arrangement is generally chronological with some topical\n            breakdown.","B. \n            Richard E. Byrd, Jr., U. S. Navy\n            Admiral and polar explorer.

There is material relating\n            to the death of Admiral Byrd and the creation of various\n            memorials to him.","C. \n            Harry Flood Byrd, Jr.: The\n            correspondence of Byrd, Jr. with Byrd, Sr. has been pulled\n            together from various locations and placed in this\n            sub-series.
