The papers of Whitehead, a lawyer and Wisconsin state senator from Janesville, consisting of correspondence, clippings, speeches, and other items.

There is also a good deal of material on the Congregational Church (primarily in Chicago and Ravenswood, Ill.), the Wisconsin State Bar Association, Perry's Victory Memorial Commission, and the League to Enforce Peace. Included are two letters from William Howard Taft and one from John D. Rockefeller.
