Many of the items related to national party conventions. Materials from state campaigns and other elections such as mayoral races chiefly come from North Carolina, with smaller amounts from Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, and other states. There are some materials documenting 20th century Durham, North Carolina political history, as well as a few items pertaining to a Humphrey-Muskie Committee at Duke University. Other political organizations and caucuses are also represented, including anti-war organizations, labor unions (especially the AFL-CIO), and various other citizens' groups such as the NAACP.
