Personal Papers: Republican Party papers relate to activities such as Rogers' role as a delegate to the 1968 Republican National Convention in Miami Beach. These files include newsletters, programs, agendas, speeches, and membership lists. Materials specifically related to the Nixon campaign are composed of similar material and have been assigned a separate folder. Other files regard Rogers' service on the Clarendon County Development Board and activities with the United Methodist Church in Manning, S.C. Audio-Visual Records consist of photographs of Rogers and others from the 1940s to 1988. Many images date to World War II, and several document his role in the General Assembly as well as later activities in S.C. Also present are four television campaign advertisements from Rogers' 1966 gubernatorial campaign. Ephemera consists of campaign material, including a smock designed to be worn by women working in the Rogers for Governor campaign.
