Herbert E. Harris II Papers ca. 1974-1981

Abstract Or Scope

The Herbert E. Harris(1926-) papers, ca. 1974-1981, consist of ca. 43,000 items (107 Hollinger boxes, ca. 37 cubic feet), correspondence, newsletters, photographs notes, printed matter and miscellaneous materials resulting from Harris's tenure as a member of the U. S. House of Representatives during the 94th, 95th, and 96th Congresses, 1975-1981, representing the Eighth District of Virginia. These papers relate to his years in office until his defeat in his bid for reelection in November 1980. There is very little material specifically related to his campaigns for public office, and other miscellaneous activities.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
