Verle Allyn Pope Papers, 1903-1973.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/30602273

The Verle Pope Papers date from 1903 to 1973, but the bulk of the collection spans a relatively short time period from 1966 to 1972, focusing on his term as president of the Florida Senate and his last years in office. The majority of the collection is arranged in two chronological groups, 1969-1971 and 1971-1972. Within each group, the arrangement is alphabetical by subject. Items of particular interest include a small file of letters about the Black Student Union protest at the University of Florida in 1971, and other files dealing with taxation, labor unions, abortion, prison reform, reapportionment, and the state's 1968 Constitution. Several folders also deal with Pope's advocacy for the deaf and blind. Throughout the collection there is evidence of Pope's political infighting with Governor Claude Kirk. A third group in the collection is comprised of miscellaneous papers and memorabilia, and includes biographical information, news clippings, campaign material, retirement memorabilia, photographs and a scrapbook of clippings covering Pope's life and career. One photograph album primarily includes photos of Pope in the U.S. Air Corps in the late 1920s and in the service during World War II (including aviation training, biplanes, etc.). Another photograph album covers Pope's tenure as president of the Florida Senate(1966-1968).
