Arrangement

Generally, lists of bills sponsored/co-sponsored are followed by lists of awards, then by miscellaneous biographical descriptions, then by position papers/statements. Exceptions to this arrangement occurred to accommodate efficient storage of the material.

Related Series

VOTING HISTORY & LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY REPORTS includes reports of bills sponsored by HAW prepared outside of HAW's staff (though BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIAL does include some copies of materials also found in that series). Many of the awards listed in this series can be found in the PLAQUES and CERTIFICATES series.

Appraisal and Discard Information

BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIAL includes documents found by the archivist in the original collection that were not readily identifiable as part of other file series in HAW's office. The series includes any material that the archivist thought might be of use to researchers from a legislative biographical perspective. Some materials in BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIAL are duplicative of material found in various other series, but were also retained in this series by the archivist.
