Carl Thomas Durham (1892-1974) was a Democratic United States congressman, 1939-1960, representing the Sixth North Carolina District (Orange county, Durham county, Guilford county, and Alamance county). The collection includes office files of Durham's terms in Congress, where he was a member of the House Armed Services Committee and chairman of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, and was particularly interested in the development and regulation of atomic energy and government stockpiling of strategic materials. He was also involved in the reform of the Army court martial system and government regulations concerning non-narcotic drugs. The files include papers from his committee work as well as correspondence with constituents and papers on other subjects. Volumes are compilations of mimeographed materials produced for committee members as information files. There are also a few photographs, mostly of Carl Thomas Durham, one with Dwight D. Eisenhower and others.
