Correspondence and related material, 1932 - 2009

 Sub-Series

Scope and Content

Herbert G. Klein personal material correspondence and related material subseries contains correspondence, notes, reports, clippings, calendars, pamphlets, transcripts, ephemera, publications, scrapbooks, photographs, compact discs, and moving images, 1932-2009, created and collected primarily by Herbert G. Klein. Klein did not make distinctions between his professional, philanthropic, and personal endeavors, and as a result the material in this subseries contains personal information (for example, clippings, receipts, and correspondence regarding Joanne and Patricia Klein's college admissions and weddings; Christmas card lists; information about Klein's application to Bohemian Grove; and letters and related material about Herb and Marge Klein's many Super Bowl parties); material that could be interpreted as professional (for example, material from the 1968 campaign identified by Klein as "personal and miscellaneous"; congratulatory letters received upon leaving the Nixon administration; many clippings about Klein's work as a journalist and member of the Nixon administration; clippings about Nixon during the 1960s and post-Watergate; and information about Nixon and Robert Finch fundraisers); and material that is more difficult to classify (for example, brief, autograph-type letters from Alberto R. Gonzales, Dick Cheney, George H.W. Bush, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, Pete Wilson, Karl Rove, and Nixon). The subseries also contains much "miscellaneous" material, for example printed ephemera from Klein's desk drawers, a copy of Oliver Stone's script for the film "Nixon," printed materials about the Kennedy assassination collected by Klein; and various certificates and awards.
