James B. Hunt Papers, 1971-1997 [manuscript]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/607368572

The James B. Hunt Papers, 1971-1997, include videotapes, films, audiotapes, photographs, correspondence, clippings, ad slicks, position papers, advertisement scripts, cue sheets, and brochures relating to the political campaigns of James Baxter Hunt Jr., who was a four-term Democratic governor of North Carolina, 1977-1985 and 1993-2001. The largest portion of the collection is the videotapes, which feature television advertisements produced for Hunt's campaigns, debate preparation sessions, debates, and television news broadcasts about the campaigns. The bulk of these materials document Hunt's unsuccessful 1984 bid to unseat Republican Jesse Helms as United States Senator from North Carolina and the 1992 gubernatorial campaign, in which Hunt defeated Republican James Gardner. Also included is material relating to his 1996 gubernatorial campaign, and very small amounts of material from the 1976 and 1980 gubernatorial campaigns. Not included are any materials specifically documenting Hunt's official acts as governor.
