Hugh DeLacy papers, 1938-1985.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28410133

The papers consist of correspondence, campaign materials, newsletters, notes, and tape recorded interviews relating to his activities as an English instructor and union activist (1933-1937), Seattle City councilman (1938-1940), machinist (1942-1944), U.S. congressman (1945-1947), and director of the Progressive Party in Ohio. Also included are two autobiographies describing his early life and experiences as a congressman, and writings and class notes resulting from his study of philosophy as a graduate student at San Fernando Valley State College in the late 1960s and 1970s. His congressional papers are not voluminous but provide useful documentation on his campaigns and term in office. The bulk of the papers date from DeLacy's later life, after he left the state of Washington.
