Florence S. Mahoney papers, 1935-1988.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50124777

Contains correspondence and subject files reflecting Mahoney's interest in medical research, politics, and birth control. Of special interest are her extensive files on the planning and establishment of the National Institute on Aging. Although small, Mahoney's general subject files contain some items of interest to the researcher. The files on birth control, for example, reflect Mahoney's and Lasker's interests in that topic. The guest lists found in her party files give a sense of her connections to the Washington elite. Despite their close personal and professional relationship, there is little correspondence with Mary Lasker. Prominent correspondents found in Series I include E. Grey Dimond, Paul F. Glenn, Lister Hill, Lyndon B. and Lady Bird Johnson, Margaret Sanger and F. Marott Sinex.
