Governor Casey's papers document his administration; materials include issue papers, his daily schedules (1986-1995), budget proposals, speeches, administration accomplishments, 16 artifacts, 3 moving images, 2 audiotapes, 1 CD, approximately 1680 photographs, and extensive newspaper clippings and press releases. Approximately one-fourth of the papers include working administrative files supporting the governor's office. Among these files are schedules, gift logs, budgets, and records of accomplishments and honors. Also included are subject reference files containing articles, issue papers, state agency reports, and background materials reflecting Governor Casey's interests and initiatives. Additional files compile materials related to hearings and campaigns. The collection also contains communicaes to the public. Press releases record events and announcements from 1988 to 1989 during Governor Casey's first term. Newspaper clippings comprising almost two-thirds of the papers chronicle Governor Casey's tenure from 1987 to 1995 from the media's perspective. Photographs, circa the mid- to late-1940s to 1995, include images from Casey's earlier years, many depicting events of his first campaign for the Pennsylvania governorship in 1966. Most of the collection's photographs, however, document Casey's two terms as governor and show Casey at events ranging from speaking engagements, to legislative signings, to inaugural celebrations. Also included are a 1994 videotape surveying Governor Casey's accomplishments and two videotapes recorded in 2000 at Casey's funeral mass and memorial tribute.
