Irene E. and John E. "Pat" Ryan Papers, 1930-1997.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/309458209

The Irene E. and John E. "Pat" Ryan Papers contain records which document their lives and work in Alaska. Irene's papers make up the bulk of the collection and include some personal papers such as her unpublished autobiography, calendars, and photographs as well as the correspondence, notes, and reports generated from her work in politics and as a consulting engineer. Although her work in the Alaska Democratic Party is well-documented, there are few records from her service in the Alaska legislature. The collection does include Ryan's reading files during her time in the legislature and as Commissioner of Economic Development covering such seminal issues of the time as statehood, energy resources, the Alaska pipeline, and the D-2 provision of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. John's records mainly include correspondence, client and subject files related to his work as a consulting engineer.
