Burton K. Wheeler videotapes from the UCLA Film and Television Archive, 1925-1941.

As a public figure Wheeler appeared on many newsreel productions of the day, including those done by the Hearst Company. The images on these tapes represent gleanings from those films that were found by the UCLA Film and Television Archive by searching through their subject reference catalog for Wheeler, the America First Committee, and the Supreme Court debate of 1937. The films have been dubbed in random order, and there is duplication between the images found on cassettes 1, 2, and 3. Most of the clips on these cassettes are unedited and much extraneous material is included. Cassette 4 has been edited to include only the relevant Wheeler images.
