MISCELLANEOUS PERSONAL MATERIAL,, 1941-2001.
Dates
- 1941-2001.
Scope and Contents
MISCELLANEOUS PERSONAL MATERIAL includes correspondence and other documents generally related to HAW's personal matters, that is, matters of a non-legislative nature, which were found by the archivist outside of any filing system. Much of the material relates to HAW's participation on advisory councils, boards of trustees, and other such oversight roles, especially HAW's position as a member of the Board of Trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The series includes a draft essay written by Daniel Patrick Moynihan on the founding of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
Christmas, birthday, and wedding cards removed from binders by the archivist comprise a substantial portion of the series. The personal material also includes photocopies of HAW's military records, correspondence to HAW in response to his 1970 announcement of his alcoholism, and some incoming correspondence from family, friends, and staff members. The staff member correspondence includes a selection of thank you's, resignations, birthday cards, and the like.

Restrictions
Documents in certain of the folders containing various personal matters may not be photocopied. These are noted on the folders.
Arrangement
Board materials are followed by cards, then by other personal materials. To ensure the order of the photocopied military records was not lost, the archivist noted the order of the documents in pencil on the back of each page. The correspondence in the series was in no original order nor necessarily filed together; much of it was brought together by the archivist.
Appraisal and Discard Information
All board material was retained, as were cards and notes found in binders. Loose correspondence and cards from family, friends, staff, and others were kept on a select basis.
