Memoranda, correspondence, political fliers, voter tabulations, and printed material from the UAW, the AFL-CIO, and political campaigns.

In addition, there are files relating to administrative matters. Records in this collection relate chiefly to work of the Citizenship-Legislative Department and to COPE and to the political support given to pro-labor candidates, to opposition to right-to-work legislation, and to various ultra-right groups active in Indiana and Kentucky. The files are, to a great extent, those of Donald R. Yeagley, Citizenship Representative.
