Clippings and Scrapbooks, 1915-1960

 Series
Identifier: CWLK 125-134

Scope and Contents

This series includes newspaper clippings, congratulatory letters, invitations, and programs relating to Frank Walker's work in the New Deal, with the Democratic Party, and as Postmaster General. The clippings and other documents also cover his interests in Notre Dame, the Catholic Church, the motion picture business, sports, politics, and his hometown of Butte, Montana.

Most of the clippings that are not in scrapbooks are arranged chronologically. They were collected by the Division of Press Intelligence during Walker's term as Postmaster General. Other clippings have been arranged by topic. The scrapbooks have a similar arrangement, usually covering a specific period of Walker's career, although a few were put together to commemorate an event or to document a particular topic. Several scrapbooks are on microfilm (M130) and the originals have been discarded. Walker's photograph albums have been removed from his papers to form the Walker Photograph Collection (GWLK).
