Scope and Contents

Many of the items were originally framed but were removed from the frames by the archivists because of preservation issues. The series includes several pieces of correspondence from Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John F Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson from a "This is Your Life" 50th birthday album. The series includes the pens used by Presidents from Kennedy to Carter to sign various bills and the displays for the pens from HAW's office.

Generally, correspondence, poems, newspaper pages, invitations, and other text-based material found as standalone items in frames, in commemorative albums, or in some other form suggestive of a privileged status were placed in this series, rather than in one of the series more commonly associated with their format.

Campaign pins/buttons can be found in other series, principally CAMPAIGN FILES.

Appraisal and Discard Information

A limited number of memorabilia objects were accepted into the collection by Rutgers, based generally on the closeness of their connection to HAW and his career, or to New Jersey.
