http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647821300

The papers contain correspondence, accounts, memoranda, reports, photographs, and sound recordings. Correspondence and topical files of Collins reflect his interest in his family, Marion and Smyth counties, Va., the Democratic Party, and his terms as Delegate and Lieutenant-Governor. Topics include his brother, Harold Moorman Collins, and his invention of a drink mixer; the building of his home; numerous local civic activities including Kiwanis, the Wytheville Diagnostic Center, airports, highways, postal service and an elementary school; the Marion National Bank; and the management of Moorman Farm, Bedford Co., Va. Topics also include the Young Democratic Clubs of Virginia; the 1952 Democratic National Convention; Colgate Darden's campaign for governor, 1941, Saxon Holt's for lieutenant-governor, 1937; and his campaigns for the House of Delegates, 1935, 1939 and 1941; state Democratic Party conventions; the Byrd organization; budget hearings, 1947-1952; patronage; commission appointments; proposed legislation; and the Game and Inland Fisheries Commission. Topics also include the State Library Building Commission; the Southwestern State Hospital; Booker T. Washington Industrial Training Center; Medical College of Virginia; Marion College; Virginia Polytechnic Institute; the University of Virginia; the Barter Theatre; and the Virginia State Bar Association. Of particular interest are a letter, 1918 November 4, describing the last days of the Meuse-Argonne offensive; an 1862 Confederate exemption notice; his keynote address at the 1944 state Democratic convention; his "Memoir and analysis of Virginia's participation in the 1952 Chicago National Convention"; a scrap-book of his inauguration as lieutenant-governor, and recordings of some speeches. In addition to constituent mail Collins corresponded with over 400 prominent Virginians, particularly members of the General Assembly. Much consists of routine letters of appointment and transmittal, congratulations, invitations, confirmations, thanks and inquiry. A complete list of these correspondents is in the index of the collection guide.
