Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The papers of Steven V. Carter are arranged alphabetically within three series: 1) Congressional subject files, boxes 1-13; 2) Pre-Congressional political files, boxes 14-19; and 3) Personal, boxes 20-25. The Congressional subject file series reflects his activities during his year in office. He concentrated on issues such as agriculture, education, insurance and retirement, and post offices. The pre-Congressional political files consist of campaign material from his two bids for office. Included are nomination papers, rules concerning contributions, and issue statements. The personal series contains invitations, law school notes, his degrees from college and university, material relating to his estate, and sympathy messages sent upon his death. The acronym TLS indicates typed letter signed.
