Papers, 1972-1980

The C.P. O'Neill Papers were received unorganized and have been re-arranged into two series: SERIES I: Personal The first series includes biographical material, correspondence, family memorabilia and scrapbooks. The folders are arranged alphabetically by subject. Box 1, Folder 1 - Box 1, Folder 7 SERIES II: Mayor. This series primarily contains material from O'Neill's two terms as Mayor of Grand Forks from 1972-1980. The folders contain personal papers, city documents, newspaper clippings, desk diaries and photographs. The collection does not contain a complete day to day file of Mayor O'Neill's terms of office, but reflects high points in his career as mayor or significant improvements to the city of Grand Forks. The Southside Annexation issue of 1973-1975 and the Columbia Road Overpass issue of 1969-1980 are fairly well documented. O'Neill's re-election campaign of 1976 file contains information about city issues of the time. 84 photographs were separated and added to the Orin G. Libby Photograph Collection.
