Chiefly the office files of Groner, Chief Judge of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Correspondence reports and memos, drafts of opinions, and speeches date mainly from 1939-1951. Many of the letters are from Henry P. Chandler, director, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Also, there is correspondence with many of Groner's fellow judges, including Learned Hand, John Johnston Parker and Frederic Moore Vinson. Other correspondents include James Francis Byrnes, Wiley Rutledge, Taylor Tazewell and E. Randolph Williams. Subjects discussed are various court decisions, judicial conferences, the administration of the courts, some of Groner's business dealings, the formation of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, and some references to Virginia politics. In addition, there is a political scrapbook, 1888-89, of Virginius D. Groner, and a diary, 1890-91, of Lola Campbell. The collection also contains a card file of the law library of Groner, particularly cases argued by John Archibald Campaell.
