Series A contains correspondence of Edward and Victor Rosewater as well as family correspondence regarding the Omaha Bee, travel, the Republican Party, and family matters. Series B contains the diaries and correspondence of Edward Rosewater. The diaries cover the pre-Civil War period through Edward's move to Omaha, Neb. Of considerable historic value are the diaries of Edward Rosewater that include part of his tenure as a telegrapher for the War Dept. in Washington, D.C. during the war. Rosewater telegraphed Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation to the public on 1 Jan. 1863. In his diary, he describes a reception at the White House that day and briefly mentions the Proclamation. The correspondence in this series (1863-1906) is related to political matters (mainly the Republican Party), journalism and the Omaha Bee, as well as personal matters. Series C contains the correspondence, subject files, publications, and diaries of Victor Rosewater. The diaries cover the later years of Victor Rosewater's life, including his activities in the Republican Party and the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial. His correspondence is also related to political matters, the Omaha Bee, journalism, and personal matters. Other topics include the history of Nebraska.
