QUANTITY: 163.3 cubic feet consisting of 3,270 folders, 39 volumes, 1,700 photographs, 28 oversize photographs, 1 film reel, 1 videocassette tape, 37 sound discs, 18 reel-to-reel audio tapes, 10 audio cassette tapes, 9 rolls of microfilm, 266 oversize items, and 76 objects. ABSTRACT: The James F. Byrnes Papers document his career as a U.S. Senator, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Director of the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion during World War II, U.S. Secretary of State, and Governor of South Carolina. The papers show his close relationship with President Franklin D. Roosevelt as Byrnes helps him pass New Deal legislation during the Depression and then coordinates the homefront economy during the war, as well as accompanying Roosevelt to the Yalta Conference. They also document Byrnes’ role in the immediate post-war peace process and the beginning of the Cold War, especially concerning U.S. policy towards a defeated Germany. Finally, the collection has material concerning his growing disenchantment with the Democratic Party over civil rights, his support for Dwight Eisenhower in the 1952 presidential campaign, and the writing of his two autobiographies, Speaking Frankly and All In One Lifetime. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The James F. Byrnes Papers consists of advertisements, architectural drawings, articles, artifacts, audio-visual materials, campaign materials, certificates, clippings, correspondence, editorials, executive orders, galley proofs, journals, laws and legal documents, legislative bills, lists, maps, minutes, petitions, political cartoons, postcards, photographs, publications, reports, scrapbooks, speeches, telegrams, transcripts, and other material. Materials in this series cover the period 1831-2007, with the bulk of the material covering the period midway through his first term as U.S. Senator in 1933 to his death in 1972. This collection is organized into sixteen series, as follows: Pre-Senatorial, Senatorial, Supreme Court, War Mobilization, State Department, Interim, Gubernatorial, Post-Gubernatorial, Speeches, Book Materials, Posthumous, Photographs, Scrapbooks, Audio-Visual, Oversize, and Memorabilia. The series are arranged alphabetically by folder title,

and correspondence files within the series are usually arranged alphabetically by surname. Photographs and oversize items have been removed to photograph and oversize storage. The James F. Byrnes Papers document his career as a U.S. Senator, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Director of the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion (OWMR; previously known as the Office of Economic Stabilization and then the Office of War Mobilization) during World War II, U.S. Secretary of State, and Governor of South Carolina. There is also material relating to his personal life; to his business affairs, including serving on the board of directors of the Newmont Mining Corporation; to his service on the Clemson College Board of Trustees; to the founding of the James F. Byrnes Foundation, which gives scholarships to South Carolina orphans; and to the writing of his two autobiographies, Speaking Frankly and All In One Lifetime. The papers provide evidence of his close relationship with President Franklin D. Roosevelt as Byrnes helps him pass New Deal legislation during the Depression and then coordinates the homefront economy during the World War II. They also document Byrnes’ role in the immediate post-war peace process and the beginning of the Cold War, especially concerning U.S. policy on the reconstruction of Germany and its reintegration into world affairs. Finally, the collection has material concerning his growing disenchantment with the Democratic Party over civil rights, his support for Dwight Eisenhower in the 1952 presidential campaign, and his continuing disagreement over Supreme Court decisions against segregation, especially school segregation. Items of particular interest include the shorthand notes Byrnes took at the 1945 Yalta Conference; “W. B.’s Book,” which are excerpts from the journal Walter Brown kept while accompanying Byrnes to the Potsdam Conference in 1945; and Edwin W. Pauley’s journal describing the trip of the U.S. Reparations Mission to what would become North Korea in 1946 and photographs from the Mission’s visit to Manchuria that same year. There is also a great deal of material relating to the creation and the progress of the Santee-Cooper Power and Navigation Project from 1933-1941, including of photographs of historic homes in the inundation area, and minutes of the Potsdam Conference, Paris Peace Conference, and meetings of the Council of Foreign Ministers from 1945-1946. Other topics of interest include agriculture during the Depression; Byrnes’ relationship with the War Production Board while head of OWMR; the Democratic National Conventions of 1940 and 1944 when Byrnes was a potential vice presidential candidate; the United Nations; and U.S. economic policy. There is also material relating to Byrnes’ election to Senate in 1930 and his inauguration as Governor in 1951; his employee Willie Byrd; the presidential elections of 1936, 1940, 1944, 1956, 1960, 1964, and 1968; and to Alger Hiss, Henry Wallace, and Harry Dexter White.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

James Francis Byrnes, one of few men to serve in all three branches of the federal government, was one of South Carolina's most important political figures in the twentieth century. He was born on May 2, 1882, in Charleston, South Carolina, to Elizabeth McSweeney and James Byrnes. His father died suddenly of tuberculosis several months before his birth, and his mother became a dressmaker for the Charleston elite. In 1896, at the age of fourteen, Byrnes quit school for a full-time job in order to help his mother and sister (Leonore, 1879-1947) make ends meet. His mother sent him to a local business college where he studied shorthand, and he secured a position as an office boy with Mordecai, Gadsden, Rutledge, and Hagood, a well-established Charleston law firm. There he began his study of the law, under the tutelage of Judge Benjamin H. Rutledge. In 1900, Byrnes was selected by competitive examination to become the court reporter of the Second Judicial District in Aiken. He studied law and was admitted to practice in 1903, but continued to serve the Second District.

On May 2, 1906, his twenty-fourth birthday, Byrnes married Maude Busch (born October 22, 1883) of Aiken. In 1908, he was elected Court Solicitor of the Second District. It was during this campaign that Byrnes became known to the public as "Jimmy," a man of the people. Byrnes' success as solicitor was just the beginning of what would be a long, prosperous political career. In 1910, Byrnes ran against and defeated Second District Congressman J. O. Patterson on the Democratic ticket, and made the move to Washington, D.C. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives until 1925, during which time he developed many of the friendships and political relationships that would last a lifetime.

In 1924, Byrnes ran an unsuccessful campaign for the U.S. Senate against Coleman Blease. He returned to South Carolina where he practiced law in Spartanburg with Samuel J. Nicholls and C. C. Wyche. In 1930, however, Byrnes decided to run for the Senate seat against Blease again. This time he was victorious. While serving in the Senate, Byrnes played a vital role in helping to pass President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal legislation, which helped the country overcome the Great Depression. Byrnes served in the Senate for eleven years, until he left for a position on the United States Supreme Court. He took the judicial oath on July 8, 1941. It was also in 1941 that Byrnes became a Life Trustee of Clemson College.

Byrnes' service on the Supreme Court was short. With World War II underway, Byrnes was anxious to get involved with executive politics. At Roosevelt's request, he willingly gave up his lifetime court appointment on October 3, 1942, to head up the Office of Economic Stabilization (OES). Within six months, Roosevelt promoted Byrnes to Director of the newly established Office of War Mobilization (OWM), which was later renamed the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion (OWMR). As Director, Byrnes had power over all manpower related to war production of both civilian and military supplies. Byrnes was one of the President's closet advisors during the war years, and it was during his tenure with the OWM/OWMR that he became known as the "Assistant President." This close association began to crumble, however, when

Roosevelt, almost at the last minute, rejected Byrnes as his vice-presidential running mate in July 1944. Despite the rift, Byrnes continued to serve and accompanied Roosevelt to the Yalta Conference in January 1945. Byrnes eventually decided to leave the White House and resigned from the OWMR on April 2, 1945, ten days before Roosevelt's death.

In the months following his resignation, Byrnes spent time in Washington with new President Harry S. Truman, filling him in on the details and discussing the manufacturing of the atomic bomb. Out of this relationship came Byrnes' appointment as Truman's U.S. Secretary of State on July 3, 1945. As Secretary of State, Byrnes was involved with the post-war peace negotiations and the Conference of Foreign Ministers (CFM) meetings, including the Potsdam conference and the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan. In 1946, he was selected as Time Magazine's Man of the Year. Differences between Byrnes and Truman grew, and Byrnes resigned his post on January 21, 1947.

Set on retiring from political office, Byrnes returned to private practice, splitting his time between Spartanburg and the Washington law firm of Hogan and Harrison. Before the end of 1947, Byrnes published a book entitled Speaking Frankly, recounting his experiences as Secretary of State. Proceeds from the book went to the James F. Byrnes Foundation, established in 1948 to provide a collegiate scholarship fund for South Carolina students who have lost one or both parents.

In the beginning of 1950, Byrnes decided to enter the political arena once more, this time as Governor of South Carolina. He was unopposed in the general election and delivered his inaugural address on January 19, 1951. During his single term as governor, Byrnes focused much of his attention on improving public education in the state. In 1953, he served as a delegate to the United Nations with Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, whom Byrnes had supported in the 1952 presidential election. That support for Eisenhower marked Byrnes' official break with the Democratic Party.

In January 1955, Byrnes retired from public life for the last time, although he remained politically active in an unofficial capacity for several years. He publicly supported the presidential campaigns of Richard M. Nixon in 1960, Barry Goldwater in 1964, and Nixon again in 1968. In 1958, Byrnes published his autobiography and memoirs, All in One Lifetime. He and Maude lived the remainder of their years in Columbia. James F. Byrnes died at his home on April 9, 1972, just one month shy of his ninetieth birthday. Maude Byrnes died on July 23, 1976. They are buried at Trinity Cathedral Cemetery in Columbia, across the street from the State House.

Series 1: Pre-Senatorial Series, 1879-1972; bulk 1929-1930 3 cubic feet consisting of 79 folders, 3 photographs, and 2 oversize items. The Pre-Senatorial Series consists of advertisements, biographical sketches, campaign materials, certificates, clippings, correspondence, legal documents, lists, postcards, photographs, publications, receipts, reports, a few subject files, and telegrams. Materials in this series cover the period 1879-1930, from Byrnes’ parent’s marriage through his election to the United States Senate. The bulk of the material dates from 1929-1930, much of it documenting his 1930 U.S. Senate campaign. The series is arranged alphabetically by folder title, and correspondence files within the series are arranged alphabetically by surname. Photographs and oversize items have been removed to photograph and oversize storage. See the Photographs Series for photographs removed from this series. There is very little information regarding the offices he held early in his career and his service in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1910-1925. According to Byrnes, the majority of the papers from this period were destroyed. There is a small amount of campaign material relating to the races for solicitor in 1908, U.S. Representative in 1910, and for the U.S. Senate in 1924, as well as 1920 letters to W. W. Ball (editor of The State) relating to women’s suffrage and race and military pay. Of particular interest is a file on forged letters sent during 1910 campaign—letters supposedly sent by Byrnes criticizing his opponents. This file contains what appear to be detective reports. The correspondence relating to the 1930 Senatorial campaign consists of requests for support and replies to same, congratulatory letters, correspondence reporting on political conditions in the county where the writer resides or in the state, invitations to speak, and requests for lists of people in various areas, professions, or organizations. There is also some correspondence concerning campaign finances and the purchase of political advertisements. In addition to the 1930 campaign material there are biographical information files created at various times during his career by Byrnes and others. There is correspondence relating to Byrnes’ legal and financial affairs, including legal advice to various individuals, those relating to cases he is involved in, testimonial letters, and taxes and investments. Also included is correspondence from some of Byrnes’s ex-colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives. Family correspondence is also found in this series, as is a genealogy of Byrnes-McSweeney-Miner-Fuller families. Letters from his sister Lenore Fuller and cousin Frank Hogan (who was an attorney), as well as material concerning the case of Fuller v. Fuller (including detective reports) can also be found here. Of particular interest is a folder regarding marriage records from the Catholic Diocese of Charleston revealing Byrnes’ exact date of birth. Byrnes used his older sister’s date of birth as his own in 1900 in order to secure his position as the court reporter of the Second Judicial District in Aiken. He was only eighteen and did not meet the age requirement of

twenty-one. It was only after his death that Byrnes’ actual age was uncovered. These diocesan records were donated by Sam Crews. Correspondents include Lenore Fuller, Byrnes’ sister; Butler B. Hare, U.S. Representative for the Second District of South Carolina; E. D. Smith, U.S. Senator for South Carolina; Benjamin R. Tillman, also U.S. Senator for South Carolina; Woodrow Wilson; and Charles Cecil Wyche, a partner in Byrnes’ law firm. The correspondence on politics and congressional business related to Benjamin Tillman was copied from Mss 80, the Benjamin Ryan Tillman papers in Special Collections.

Bound volumes of remarks by Byrnes in the 75th-76th Congresses from the Congressional Record are filed at the end of the series. Photographs and oversize items have been removed to photograph and oversize storage. See the Photographs Series for photographs removed from this series.

Byrnes first ran for Senate in 1924, but was defeated by incumbent Coleman Blease. Byrnes’ Catholic upbringing and his unwillingness to join the Ku Klux Klan contributed largely to his defeat. In 1930 Byrnes decided to run again. With the financial assistance of economic advisor Bernard Baruch, Byrnes centered most of his platform around economic issues and gained the support of voters who did not agree with Blease’s conservatism. He defeated Blease by a narrow margin in the election. In 1941 Byrnes resigned his Senate seat when he was appointed to the United States Supreme Court. The Senatorial series is the largest in the collection, despite Byrnes’ claim that many of the papers from this period were destroyed. It contains both personal and official material. Personal correspondence in the series includes congratulations, condolences, invitations, thank yous, and that related to personal business matters, including a farm he owned in Aiken County. Some of the correspondence discusses state and national politics, especially the 1940 Democratic Convention and Byrnes’ failure to be nominated as vice president. There are also letters from members of the Busch, Fuller, and Miner families, including his cousin (and prominent Washington attorney) Frank Hogan and his sister Leonore Fuller. In addition to her correspondence there are essays and prepared comments from the 1930’s, many of them relating to a “purge” in the legal department of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and the individuals involved, which included Alger Hiss. The official correspondence includes condolences, congratulations, invitations, thank yous , and requests for information and publications, as well as letters relating to applications and appointments, Senate committee work, and opinions on and suggestions for legislation. There are also requests for assistance regarding loans, claims (mainly veterans), government contracts, and public works projects by the federal government to

offset the effects of the Depression involving agencies such as the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), Farm Security Administration (FSA), Public Works Administration (PWA), Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the South Carolina Department of Public Welfare. This includes folders for requests from the cities of Charleston, Columbia, Florence, Greenville, and Spartanburg. Of particular importance are the materials related to the Santee Cooper Project. Byrnes played a vital role in securing PWA funds for the construction and establishment of this hydroelectric site. There are descriptions of the “stretch out” system in the textile industry and material relating to the 1934 General Textile Strike, as well as to strikes in defense industries. Byrnes sponsored legislation against strikebreakers and sit-down strikes and his efforts are also reflected in the papers. Other topics covered in the papers include government reorganization plans and legislation, especially 1937-1938 “court packing” plan for Supreme Court; agriculture and conditions in rural South Carolina; the efforts of the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) to provide electricity to farming areas; federal government surplus lands; national defense, especially relating to military bases and Selective Service laws; and Byrnes’ opposition to anti-lynching legislation. Also of interest in this series is documentation of the development and growth of Byrnes’ relationship with Franklin D. Roosevelt. Byrnes had won the Senate seat on economic issues, and helped pass much of Roosevelt’s New Deal legislation. In time, the President relied so heavily on Byrnes’ support that twice Byrnes believed he would be Roosevelt’s vice-presidential running mate. Correspondents include businessmen Bernard Baruch, B.M. Edwards; lawyers Christie Benet, Charles C. Wyche, Peronneau Finley Henderson, and Donald Russell; South Carolina State Senators Edgar Brown, Richard M. Jeffries (also general counsel for Santee Cooper), and Strom Thurmond; journalists Walter Brown and Wilton E. Hall; his long-time secretary Cassie Conner; R. M. Cooper, Director of the South Carolina Public Service Authority; James A. Farley, Postmaster General and Democratic National Committee Chairman; Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes; U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom Joseph Kennedy; A. Frank Lever, Director of Public Relations for the Southeast, Farm Credit Administration; Burnet Maybank, Mayor of Charleston and, in 1939-1941, Governor of South Carolina; Lawrence M. Pinckney , South Carolina State Administrator of the WPA; and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. SEPARATION LIST In Removed Oversize Box 1: “Roosevelt Waning, W.A.

Series 3: Supreme Court Series, 1918, 1940-1944, 1947; bulk 1941-1942 3.5 cubic feet consisting of 111 folders and 6 photographs. The Supreme Court Series includes articles, booklets, correspondence, clippings, executive orders, laws, legislative bills, memoranda, notes, opinions (both draft and final versions), pamphlets, petitions, photographs, postcards, proclamations, receipts, speeches, telegrams Material in this series covers the period 1918, 1940-1944, and 1947, with the bulk of it documenting cover Byrnes’ tenure on the United State Supreme Court from 1941 to 1942. Materials in this series are arranged alphabetically by folder title, and correspondence files are arranged alphabetically by surname. Photographs have been removed to photograph storage; see the Photographs Series for photographs removed from this series. Byrnes had been serving in the U. S. Senate for eleven years when President Roosevelt appointed him to the Supreme Court on July 8, 1941. The appointment was Byrnes’ reward for being a strong political ally during his years in the Senate and as atonement for being ultimately overlooked as the vice-presidential running mate in the 1940 election. Byrnes’ service on the court was brief, lasting just under a year. He was not a great justice; neither was he the failure some had predicted. He rarely dissented or offered revisions to motions and opinions. And he willingly gave up the lifetime appointment for a chance at executive politics. The series consists mostly of correspondence and materials regarding cases handled between October 1941 and October 1942. Of the latter the most important are folders related to eighteen specific Supreme Court cases. They include opinions annotated by other justices with comments, corrections, or indications of concurrence or dissent. Correspondence related to the Court is mainly concerned with legal opinions on legislation (including wartime measures), congratulations on his appointment to the Court, invitations, and thank yous. The rest of the correspondence consists of business, family (mainly with the Fuller and Miner families) and personal correspondence, which include requests for assistance with U.S. government departments, condolences, invitations, recommendations for appointments or employment, and thank yous. There are also letters from others asking Byrnes advice on political matters and his replies. Many of these letters are to or from Franklin D. Roosevelt. In addition, many of the correspondents after 1941 discuss wartime matters such as assignments to military units, officer commissions, and base facilities. One folder of material relates to a proposal to appoint Bernard Baruch to War Production Board in 1942. Correspondents include Bernard Baruch, Francis Biddle, Hugo Black, Cassie Connor, R.M. Cooper, Oscar Cox, William O. Douglas, Felix Frankfurter, J. Edgar Hoover, P.B. Holtzendorff, Harold Ickes, Robert H. Jackson, Joseph P. Kennedy, James C. Littlejohn,

Series 4: War Mobilization Series, 1936-1957; bulk 1942-1945 9.75 cubic feet consisting of 266 folders, 7 photographs, and 23 oversize items. The series consists of an affidavit, articles, brochures, charts, clippings, correspondence, cross-reference sheets, drafts, essays, executive orders, galley proofs, laws, leaflets, lists, maps, memoranda, minutes, notes, photographs, political platforms, press releases, regulations, reports, resolutions, speeches, summaries, tables, telegrams, transcripts, and transmittal slips. Materials in this series date from 1936-1957, with the bulk of the material covering Byrnes’ service as the chief economic stabilizer from 1942-1945. He gave up his Supreme Court justiceship to become the Director of the Office of Economic Stabilization on October 3, 1942, and later the Director of the Office of War Mobilization (OWM) on May 28, 1943, which became the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion (OWMR) in October 1944. During his service in the OWM Byrnes became known as the “Assistant President.” However, Byrnes relationship with Roosevelt became strained after he was looked over as a vice-presidential candidate for a second time. Byrnes resigned from his post on April 2, 1945. Materials in this series are arranged alphabetically by folder title, and correspondence files are arranged alphabetically by surname. Additional personal correspondence—formerly housed at the University of South Carolina—is filed at end of the series. Photographs and oversize items have been removed to photograph and oversize storage. See the Photographs Series for photographs removed from this series. This series is a rich source of primary materials related to all aspects of economic stabilization on the homefront during World War II. It documents Byrnes’ effort to coordinate and mediate numerous wartime economic agencies. The material also documents Byrnes’ working relationship with President Roosevelt, containing memoranda between the two and drafts of executive orders press releases, and speeches suggested by Byrnes for Roosevelt’s use. Topics include shortages and rationing, especially oil along the East Coast, of rubber, and of manpower; wage and price administration and control; and subsidies, particularly for agriculture and the oil industry. Correspondence includes congratulations to Byrnes’ appointment in 1942 and reactions to his resignation in 1945. There are also letters and memoranda concerning appointments to various boards and commissions as well as court appointments. The series documents Byrnes’ attempts to mediate a dispute between Vice President Henry A. Wallace and Secretary of Commerce Jesse Stone over responsibility for wartime shortages; the actions of the War Manpower Commission to deal with the manpower needs of industry and the armed services; and the role of the National War Labor Board in mediating wage disputes in the coal and railroad industries, including the 1943 coal strike and the threatened 1944 railroad strike that led to the U.S. Army temporarily taking over the railroads. In addition there is material relating to a number of

aspects of the oil problem such as the Canol Project (an oil pipeline in Canada from the Norman Wells oil fields to a refinery in Whitehorse to supply oil for machinery working on Alaska Highway); the construction of pipelines and refineries; transportation; and foreign reserves, especially in the Middle East. The latter includes a proposal for the construction of an oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, the need for an agreement with the United Kingdom regarding exploiting reserves in their area of influence, and the development of an international oil policy for the United States. Byrnes also accompanied President Roosevelt to the Yalta Conference (held in the Crimea on February 7-12, 1945) in an unofficial capacity. Of particular interest are the shorthand notes Byrnes took during the Conference. Transcriptions of these notes are also available as well as agreements, minutes, and other materials relating to the Conference. Political material can also be found in this series. Most of it relates to the 1944 Democratic Convention in Chicago and Presidential election but there is also a little concerning politics in South Carolina. Items about the Convention include drafts of the party platform, suggestions for honorary members of the Democratic National Committee, and speculation over who might be chosen as Roosevelt’s running mate. Election materials include campaign plans and strategies. Items concerning Byrnes’ failure to be chosen as the Vice Presidential candidate at the convention include correspondence in support of his nomination and reactions to his failure to be nominated; memoranda of telephone conversations and discussions of regarding the vice presidency; and Byrnes’ explanation of why he was not nominated. There is also a book draft (probably for All in One Lifetime) regarding the vice presidency and transcriptions of excerpts from Walter Brown’s journals covering this period. In addition to material relating to his federal service and politics there are also items concerning Byrnes’ personal life. Some of it is financial and relates to investments and real estate. There are condolences; requests for assistance for autographs, for photographs, and for recommendations for jobs, military discharges and transfers; invitations; and thank yous. There is material relating to the death of Frank Hogan, a prominent Washington, D.C. lawyer and Byrnes’ cousin, as well as Byrnes’ membership on the Clemson College Board of Trustees, which include minutes and correspondence concerning wartime enrollment and the College’s efforts to support the armed services. Correspondents include businessmen Bernard Baruch and Roger Peace; OWMR colleagues Walter Brown, General Lucius Clay, Ben Cohen, Cassie Connor, Donald Russell, and Fred Searls; Leo T. Crowley, Alien Property Administrator and Director of the Foreign Economic Administration; National War Labor Board Chairman William H. Davis; Presidential Press Secretary Stephen Early; Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter; Presidential Secretaries William Hassett and Marvin McIntyre; Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes; Marvin Jones, Administrator of the War Food Administration; Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau; Wayne Morse, public member of the War

Labor Board; War Production Board Chairman Donald Nelson; Undersecretary of War Robert Patterson; Lawrence Pinckney, South Carolina Administrator of the Works Progress Administration; Robert Poole, President of Clemson College; Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman; journalist Herbert Swope; Fred Vinson, Director of the Office of Economic Stabilization; and Alexander Whitney, President of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. There is also correspondence with members of the Busch, Fuller and Miner families.

Series 5: State Department Series, 1938-1972; bulk 1945-1947 9 cubic feet consisting of 287 folders, 11 photographs, and 2 oversize items. The State Department Series contains agendas, biographical sketches, book drafts, clippings, correspondence, correspondence indexes, cross-reference sheets, etchings, guidelines, journals, lectures, lists, maps, a medical report, memoranda, notes, photographs, press releases, proposals, reports, a subpoena, speeches, summaries, telegrams, and transcripts. Materials in this series relate to Byrnes’ tenure as U.S. Secretary of State and date from 1938-1972, with the bulk of the material dating from 1945-1947. He was appointed Secretary of State by President Harry Truman on July 3, 1945 and shortly thereafter accompanied Truman to the Potsdam Conference, where the decision was made to drop the atomic bomb on Japan. Byrnes was present at all of the meetings of the Council of Foreign Ministers and played a vital role in post-war negotiations and settlements. The difference in opinions he had with Truman regarding American-Soviet policy grew, and Byrnes resigned his position with the State Department on January 21, 1947. Byrnes was named Time Magazine’s Man of the Year for 1946. The contents of the series are arranged alphabetically by folder title, and correspondence files are arranged alphabetically by surname. Photographs and oversize items have been removed to photograph and oversize storage. See the Photographs Series for photographs removed from this series. The series includes agendas, proceedings, and minutes of the Council of Foreign Ministers’ (CFM) meetings in London, Moscow, New York, and Paris, as well as the Paris Peace Conference and the Potsdam Conference. The minutes are closer to transcripts and appear to be the drafts for the versions published in Foreign Relations of the United States, although some of the London CFM minutes are slightly different from the published versions. Of particular interest are excerpts from Walter Brown’s diaries relating to the Potsdam Conference; the diaries themselves can be found in Mss 243, the Walter J. Brown Papers. The bulk of the correspondence consists of congratulations on Byrnes’ appointment as Secretary of State, reactions to his resignation, and items regarding post-war negotiations. There is a copy of Edwin Pauley’s journal of his trip to Korea above the 38th parallel while U.S. Representative to the Allied Reparations Committee; material relating to proposals for the international regulation of nuclear energy and weapons; copies of telegrams between Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin and Truman; and material relating to the reconstruction of Germany, including the Morgenthau Plan to “pastoralize” the country and reactions, both in Germany and elsewhere, to Byrnes’ Stuttgart speech which laid out a more liberal policy towards Germany’s reconstruction by the United States. Briefing materials accompanying the correspondence can also be found here. There is also material relating to U.S. politics, including copies of teletypes documenting a foreign policy dispute with Henry Wallace in which President Truman intervened. Security issues are also addressed; there is Byrnes’ response to a subpoena from Harold Velde, Chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee, in the matter of Henry Dexter White, a

director of the International Monetary Fund who was accused of being a Soviet spy and a folder on another accused spy, former State Department employee Alger Hiss Correspondents represented in this series include Admiral William Leahy, Chief of Staff to the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy; Averell Harriman, U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union; Assistant U.S. Secretary of State Donald Russell; businessman Bernard Baruch; H. Freeman Matthews, Director of the Office of European Affairs, U.S. State Department; John Carter Vincent, Director of the Office of Far Eastern Affairs, U.S. State Department; Foreign Ministers Ernest Bevin and V. M. Molotov; Premier Joseph Stalin; U.S. Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman; Prime Ministers Clement Atlee and Winston Churchill; U.S. Senator Arthur Vandenberg; Walter Brown, Special Assistant to the Secretary of State; and Will Clayton, Undersecretary of State for Economic Affairs. There are also some letters to and from Maude Byrnes and Cassie Connor. Related materials can be found in Mss 243, the Walter J. Brown Papers.

Series 6: Interim Series, 1946-January 1951; bulk 1947-1950 12.25 cubic feet consisting of 322 folders, 16 photographs, and 13 oversize items. This series consists of an appointment book, bills, biographical sketches, booklets, brochures, cards, clippings, correspondence, invitations, lists, legal documents, legislative bills, memoranda, medical reports, minutes, notes, petitions, photographs, postcards, press releases, receipts, reports, resolutions, resumes, speeches, and telegrams. Materials in this series cover the period between Byrnes’ resignation from the State Department in 1946 and inauguration as governor of South Carolina in January 1951, with the bulk of the material dating from 1947-1950. The series are arranged alphabetically by folder title. Correspondence files are arranged chronologically, with folder contents arranged alphabetically by surname. Photographs and oversize items have been removed to photograph and oversize storage. See the Photographs Series for photographs removed from this series. After Byrnes left the State Department he returned to private practice with the law firm of Hogan & Hartson, splitting his time between Spartanburg and Washington, D.C. He also served as a director for the Newmont Mining Corporation. In 1947 he published his first political memoir entitle Speaking Frankly, which detailed his experiences as Secretary of State. In 1948, the Byrnes Foundation was established to provide a collegiate scholarship fund for South Carolina students who have lost one or both parents. The foundation was funded by the proceeds from Byrnes’ book. In 1950 he ran for Governor of South Carolina and was elected. The material in this series consists primarily of business, family and personal files and some gubernatorial campaign correspondence. There are a number of letters inviting Byrnes to speak or attend various functions or requesting assistance, especially for job recommendations. There is correspondence with the Byrnes, Fuller and Miner, families and a number of condolence letters on the death of Byrnes’ sister Leonore in 1947. The business correspondence documents his financial activities including his directorship of the Newmont Mining Corporation. There is also some material relating to his association with Hogan & Hartson which includes a few letters relating to legal work he did for Hollywood studios. There are letters and other materials regarding American foreign policy, especially vis a vis the Soviet Union; the 1948 Presidential election, the 1950 South Carolina gubernatorial election, and U.S. politics in general; communism; and civil rights. Closely related to this correspondence are reactions to his book Speaking Frankly and to a series of speeches and articles he authored concerning American foreign and domestic policy, the growth of “big government,” and fiscal policy, especially taxes. So there are comments regarding his speech to the American Bar Association meeting on September 6, 1948; his commencement speech to graduates of Washington & Lee University on June 18, 1949; his address to the Conference of Southern Governors in Biloxi, Mississippi on November 21, 1949; and the article “Crisis Government Can Ruin Us” which appeared in the March 4, 1950, issue of Collier’s.

Material documenting the Byrnes-Truman “feud” is also in this series. Much of it revolves around critical statements about Byrnes attributed to Harry Truman in Man of Independence, a biography by Jonathan Daniels. This includes correspondence, clippings of editorials reacting to the book, and unused statements by Byrnes about the controversy. Finally, items detailing his activities as a member of the Clemson College (now Clemson University) Board of Trustees can be found here as well. Correspondents include Dean Acheson; newsmen/columnists Joseph Alsop, John Temple Graves, Drew Pearson, Porter McKeever, and Herbert Bayard Swope; H. E.

Series 7: Gubernatorial Series, 1949-1955; bulk 1950-1954 7 cubic feet consisting of 258 folders, 26 photographs, and 9 oversize items. This series consists of bills, booklets, a calendar, certificates, clippings, correspondence, forms, lists, memoranda, notes, pamphlets, petitions, photographs, postcards, press releases, receipts, reports, resolutions, speeches/statements, and telegrams. Materials in the series date from 1949-1955 and cover Byrnes’ campaign for, and single term as, governor of the state of South Carolina, with most of the items in the series dating from 1950-1954. While in office, Byrnes focused much of his attention on improving education in the state by consolidating many school districts and applying revenue from the state’s first sales tax toward education. Byrnes supported segregation, but it was during his term that the Supreme Court issued the Brown v. Board of Education decision, declaring the doctrine of separate-but-equal unconstitutional. Materials in this series are arranged alphabetically by folder title, and correspondence files are arranged alphabetically by surname or county. Photographs and oversize items have been removed to photograph and oversize storage. See the Photographs Series for photographs removed from this series. This series consists mainly of campaign correspondence and materials, as well as personal files. Material relating to the 1950 gubernatorial campaign include both out-of-state and in-state correspondence (some of the latter arranged by county) and lists of supporters. The correspondence consists of letters encouraging Byrnes to run and offers of support; requests for help or positions; a few issue-related letters on such topics as cotton, drunk driving, education foreign policy, segregation, and socialism; items relating to campaign advertisements in both print and on radio, including a number of letters from Hank D. Hearn of Charlotte, NC on showings of the “Citizen Byrnes” short by 20th Century Fox in South Carolina; descriptions of the political conditions and level of support for Byrnes in their area; suggestions regarding who to contact for support; and letters from Byrnes requesting support, thanking individuals for their support and other assistance, and asking for reports on political conditions in their area. There are also congratulations on his election to the governorship and material on Byrnes’ inauguration, including arrangements and replies to invitations. Of particular interest are the materials related to Dwight D. Eisenhower’s 1952 presidential campaign. This campaign marked Byrnes’ first official break from the Democratic Party by leading the “South Carolinians for Eisenhower” movement. As a reward for his support, Byrnes was selected as a delegate to the United Nations in 1953. These materials include those relating to the 1952 Democratic State and National Conventions; correspondence pro and con, in and out-of-state on Byrnes’ support of Eisenhower; correspondence regarding Eisenhower’s inauguration; lists of potential supporters; statements made by Byrnes in support of Eisenhower; and some material on Eisenhower’s visit to Columbia on September 30, 1952. Material relating to his term as U.N. delegate includes administrative correspondence, background information on the

United Nations and the issues before the Eighth Session of the General Assembly, a calendar noting meetings, and statements by Byrnes and Henry Cabot Lodge. The personal correspondence includes material relating to his business investments and stocks, including his involvement in the Newmont Mining Corporation; insurance; taxes; and the sale of Byrnes’ Spartanburg home by James C. Grier of Grier & Company. There are invitations; requests for appointments to positions, assistance and information; thank yous; congratulations; and condolences. Some of the correspondence includes comments on civil rights legislation and segregation; foreign policy; national politics; and the 1954 Senatorial campaign between Brown and Thurmond. There is also family correspondence with Fuller and Miner families, much of it having to do with settling the estate of Lieutenant Wallace W. Fuller. In addition to the letters on civil rights legislation and segregation there is an analysis and other information regarding “bloc voting” by African-Americans in 1952 presidential and 1954 congressional elections, as well as Byrnes’ statements on segregation in South Carolina schools and on the Brown decision. There are also statements by Byrnes in reaction to former President Harry Truman’s criticism of Byrnes in his memoirs and other material relating to Truman, including the draft of first seven chapters of “Fair Deal Follies,” an anti-Truman book and “corrective” to his memoirs, by Burt Drummond. There are few items on Harry Dexter White as well, which supplement the material in the State Department series regarding accusations that the former International Monetary Fund director was a Soviet spy. Correspondents include businessmen Bernard Baruch, Walter J. Brown, Lucius D. Clay, Charles Daniel, B. M. Edwards, and Fred Searls; cartoonist Jim Berryman; former governor Strom Thurmond; journalist Porter McKeever; lawyers John W. Davis; and James H. Hammond; U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower; U.S. Senator Burnet Maybank; Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter; and University of South Carolina President Donald Russell. There are also some letters to and from Maude Byrnes and Cassie Connor. Byrne’s official gubernatorial files can be found at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History in Columbia, SC.

Series 8: Post-Gubernatorial Series, 1946-1976; bulk 1955-1968 20.5 cubic feet consisting of 665 folders, 38 photographs, and 29 oversize items. The Post-Gubernatorial Series consists of architectural drawings, articles, booklets, cards, clippings, correspondence, invitations, memoranda, notes, photographs, a poem, postcards, press releases, schedules, speeches, statements, tax forms, telegrams, and transcripts. The files in this series date from 1946 to 1976, with the bulk of the material covering the period from Byrnes’ retirement in January 1955 through his death on April 9, 1972. Materials in this series are arranged alphabetically by folder title and correspondence files within the series are arranged alphabetically by surname. Photographs and oversize items have been removed to photograph and oversize storage. See the Photographs Series for photographs removed from this series. Much of the correspondence in the series concerns family, financial, and personal matters of both James F. and Maude Byrnes such as anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas festivities, the deaths of friends and colleagues, illnesses, invitations, trips, and tributes. A 1958 anniversary folder contains an original wedding invitation from the 1906 Byrnes-Busch wedding. There is also material relating to James and Maude Byrnes’ health problems in the 1960’s. The correspondence with the Byrnes, Fuller, and Miner families includes some Byrnes family genealogy. Files concerning the Byrnes’ trips to Europe can also be found here, including their 1961 visit to Stuttgart, West Germany where Byrnes made his famous speech while Secretary of State. Tributes documented in the series include the naming of Byrnes High School in Duncan, SC and Byrnes Crossing (a bridge linking Hilton Head Island with mainland South Carolina) after Byrnes, the celebration of “Byrnes Day” in 1961, and the dedication of the Byrnes Room at Clemson University in 1966. And there is material related to the writing of All in One Lifetime, Byrnes’ second autobiography, which was started in 1955 and published in 1958. The business and financial correspondence relates to banking, bills, estate planning (including James F. Byrnes’ will), the Byrnes home in Columbia and rentals on the Isle of Palms, insurance, leases on offices Byrnes used, the purchase and sale of a boat, stocks and other investments, and taxes. Byrnes served on the boards of directors of the Georgia Pacific Corporation and the Newmont Mining Corporation and there is documentation of that in the series. There is also material concerning Willie Byrd, an African American employee for the Byrnes’ who acted as their chauffer, cook, and general handyman. There is also material relating to Byrnes’ involvement in economic development, particularly the Parr, SC nuclear power plant project in the period 1956-1962 (it opened in 1962 and closed 1967). Other files in the series concern his interest in education: he was a trustee of Clemson and Winthrop Universities, as well as Converse College, and there is material relating to his service on all three boards of trustees. The files on Clemson include correspondence on the controversy between the University and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers over the construction of a dike to protect the University’s lands from being flooded by Hartwell Dam. In addition there is information on the Byrnes Foundation which gave scholarships to young men and women who had lost one or both parents.

Of particular interest in this series is material relating to Byrne’s career, foreign policy, politics, and segregation. Many individuals were interested in his relationship with Presidents Roosevelt and Truman and there is a set of interview transcripts done by Byrnes for a television show on Roosevelt in the series. Byrnes retained his interest in foreign policy and there are numerous letters concerning both current (1955-1968) policy and on American foreign policy while he was Secretary of State. The topic of segregation is discussed in many letters in the correspondence files. There are also files specifically on segregation in the series. Segregation is also covered in material relating to Clemson College (now Clemson University); this includes attempts to enforce desegregation in an Atomic Energy Commission contract in 1957, the integration of the school by Harvey Gantt in 1961-1963, and changes in College policies due to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in 1965. There are also comments about statements and articles by Byrnes on various topics, including segregation, with many of the relating to his 1956 article in U.S. News and World Report on the Supreme Court’s role in integration entitled “The Supreme Court Must Be Curbed.” Although Byrnes retired from active politics once his term as governor concluded, he still remained both interested and active in the political questions of the day. Information on the presidential elections of 1956, 1960, 1964, and 1968 and the South Carolina gubernatorial campaign by Donald Russell in 1962 can be found in this series. Correspondence on politics can be both in the regular correspondence files and a set of “political letters” files that cover the period 1960-1964 and 1968. There are also specific files relating to the Independent Electors Project in 1956 which was an attempt to elect Southern members of the Electoral College who would not be pledged to either party, thus holding the balance of power in the election and enabling the South to negotiate the best deal on civil rights. Finally, there is material relating to the successful effort to gain federal judgeship on the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1956 for Clement Haynsworth and a little material on the failure of his nomination as a Supreme Court justice in 1969. Correspondents include businessmen Bernard Baruch, Walter Brown, Charlie Daniels, James H. Hammond, Francis Hipp, Roger Peace, Paul Quattlebaum, Fred Searls, and Jim Self; cartoonist Jim Berryman; Cassie Connor , who was Byrnes’ secretary; portraitist Grace Du Pré; Allen Dulles, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency; Secretary of State John Foster Dulles; Clemson University President Robert C. Edwards and Trustees R. M. Cooper and Frank Jervey; Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Richard Nixon; lawyer Robert Figg, educator Wil Lou Gray; judge Clement Haynsworth; Ruth Jones; Senators Olin Johnston and Strom Thurmond; Porter McKeever, who was an author, foreign policy expert, and publicist; and South Carolina Governor Donald Russell.

Series 9: Speeches Series, 1831-1967; bulk 1933-1965 9 cubic feet consisting of 490 folders and 4 oversize items. The Speeches series contains articles, clippings, correspondence, drafts, editorials, memos, notes, postcards, press releases, speeches, and telegrams. The items in this series cover the period 1831-1967. The bulk of the material dates from 1933-1965 and mainly documents Byrnes’ political career. The speeches are arranged chronologically by date. Correspondence, clippings, and other materials are grouped with the related speech. Oversize items have been removed to oversize storage. This series consists of articles written and speeches made by Byrnes throughout his career, reactions to some of those articles and speeches, and speeches by others which Byrnes collected or had sent to him. Series highlights include speeches supporting Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal policies, such as plans to reorganize the federal government, including the Supreme Court, and on Social Security. There are political campaign speeches that cover the 1936, 1940, 1944, 1952, 1956, 1960, and 1964 presidential campaigns, including the speech Byrnes made at the 1940 Democratic convention and those in support of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s candidacy in 1952; speeches from Byrnes’ 1924 and 1936 U.S. Senate campaigns; and his 1950 gubernatorial campaign speeches as well as his inaugural address and his yearly addresses to the General Assembly. The series includes speeches concerning economic mobilization and stabilization during World War II that were given prior to and during Byrnes’ tenure as head of the Office of War Mobilization, one such being “National Unity Now” presented at the commencement ceremony at Wofford College, South Carolina, on June 2, 1940. Speeches related to U.S. foreign policy—especially regarding the peace treaties ending World War II and U.S. relations with the Soviet Union—made during and after his service as Secretary of State can also be found here. They include those made at the Council of Foreign Ministers meetings in 1945 (London) and 1946 (Paris), his famous speech at Stuttgart, Germany on September 6, 1946 regarding U.S. policy towards Germany and German reconstruction; and speeches made while U.S. delegate to the United Nations in 1953. Several of Byrnes’ speeches from the late 1940’s onward concerned the encroachment of federal power on state and local power, the rise of “big government,” and the decline of states’ rights; the Supreme Court’s role in broadening federal power, particularly the Brown v. Board of Education decision and those supporting integration and against segregation; federal aid to education; and the U.S. economy, especially the national debt and federal spending and taxation. Speeches in this series concerning these issues include those given at Washington & Lee University on June 18, 1949; before the Conference of Southern Governors meeting in Biloxi, Mississippi on November 21, 1949; in Columbus, Ohio on May 17, 1957 (“Can Local Governments Survive?”); in Bennettsville, South Carolina on September 27, 1957 (“Crisis in

Schools: Politics Has No Place in Education”); and before the bar associations of Vermont (September 22, 1956), Illinois (February 9, 1957), and Georgia (June 19, 1959). Articles of note on these topics represented in this series include “The Supreme Court Must Be Curbed” in U.S. News and World Report (May 18, 1956) on the Supreme Court and “Crisis Government Can Ruin Us” in Collier’s (March 4, 1950) on the U.S. economy. Correspondents in this series include businessmen Walter Brown, Charles Daniel, and B. M. Edwards; South Carolina State Senator Edgar Brown; and U.S. Senators Everett Dirksen and Strom Thurmond. Individuals whose speeches are represented in this series include Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Strom Thurmond, and Woodrow Wilson SEPARATION LIST In Removed Oversize Box 2: “This Government Savings Plan will provide me with $50 a month for 10 years”, (advertisement), U.S. Treasury Department, Saturday Evening Post, March 2, 1937 “Our Fighting Men Look to Us for Help to Win” by James F.

Series 10: Book Materials Series, 1938-1959; bulk 1947, 1958 3.15 cubic feet consisting of 109 folders, 6 oversize galleys, and 10 oversize items. The Book Materials series consists of advertisements, booklets, chapter drafts, charts, clippings, contracts and other legal documents, correspondence, cross-reference sheets, executive orders and drafts, financial documents, galleys, legislative bills, lists, lyrics/poems, memos, notes, postcards, press releases, proofs, and telegrams. The materials in this series span the period 1938-1959, with the bulk of the items dating from the years 1947 and 1958. The files are arranged alphabetically by folder title and chronologically within each folder. The galleys for Speaking Frankly and other oversize material have been moved to oversize storage. This series contains materials related to Byrnes two books, Speaking Frankly and All in One Lifetime. Speaking Frankly, published in 1947, details Byrnes’ experiences as President Harry Truman’s Secretary of State during post-war negotiations. Byrnes published his memoirs, All in One Lifetime, in 1958. Of particular interest are the early drafts of the manuscripts and the background or “related” materials for each book. The related materials for Speaking Frankly include an extensive chronology of events from the 1930’s to 1946, especially regarding World War II, diplomatic conferences and the peace treaties; press releases, clippings, and other information on the treaties; and similar background information for the formation of the United Nations. The related material for All in One Lifetime is comprised of notes, memos to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and “political memos” that actually consist of correspondence, executive orders memos, press releases, and other items for the period 1943-1945, documenting war production matters and his leadership of the Office of War Mobilization (OWM). This includes material that was not used in the book. Correspondents include individuals that worked with Byrnes in OWM and related agencies such as Bernard Baruch, Walter Brown, Ben Cohen, Leo Crowley, and Fred Searls; Generals Lucius Clay, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and George Marshall; Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox; Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson; and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. While most of this material is copied from Series 4 War Mobilization there are some original documents, so individuals interested in this period of Byrnes’ career would be well-advised to check both series. These materials also include some drafts of his responses to comments in former President Truman’s memoirs and notes/memos by Herbert Feis of the Institute of Advanced Studies at Princeton University of interviews he had with Byrnes and his comments on a draft of All in One Lifetime. There are also clippings files related to each book. The correspondence concerning both books includes congratulations, requests for autographed copies and thank-yous for same, and reactions to the books and to reviews of the books. There are also some discussions of past and present American foreign policy in the correspondence about Speaking Frankly, while that for All in One Lifetime relates more to Byrnes’ life and career. A letter from Secretary of Defense James Forrestal speculates on the effect of the publication of Speaking Frankly on the 1947 French national elections. There is also business

correspondence and legal materials (including contracts) in the series relating to publication of the books, serialization rights, and publicity. Most of this correspondence is between Byrnes and his agent, George T. Bye; his publisher Cass Canfield, Chairman of the Board of Harper Brothers Publishers; and Porter McKeever, who helped Byrnes write Speaking Frankly. Other correspondents in the series include retailer George M. Ivey and Turner Catledge, who was editor of the New York Times.

Series 12: Photographs Series, 1868-1981, bulk 1910-1972 5.5 cubic feet consisting of 252 folders and 28 oversize photographs. The Photographs Series consists of digital images, photocopies, and color and black and white photographs. The images in this series cover the period 1868-1981, with the bulk of the material documenting the personal life and political career of James F. Byrnes from 1910-1972. The photographs are divided into two sub-series. The first sub-series contains photographs that were donated to Clemson with the original accession of papers and photographs removed from various series during the reprocessing of the collection. There are also digital copies of photographs of Byrnes from the holdings of the University of South Carolina and photocopies from the holdings of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library. The second sub-series has photographs that were either transferred to Clemson from the University of South Carolina or removed from photo albums and scrapbooks from the original accession. Folders are arranged alphabetically by subject. Oversize photographs are shelved separately. The photographs depict Byrnes during the course of his career, as well as at quiet, private moments. There are numerous photographs of his wife Maude Busch Byrnes and those depicting members of the Busch, Byrnes, Fuller, and Minor families. Also part of this series are photographs of friends and associates such as Bernard Baruch, Walter Brown, Cassie Connor, and Bill Graham; South Carolina politicians like Olin Johnston, Burnet Maybank, and Strom Thurmond; and other political figures including Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard M. Nixon. Of particular interest are the photographs from his years as Director of War Mobilization and Secretary of State. Many prominent U.S. and international politicians are depicted, including Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, British Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and Clement Atlee, and Russia’s Premier Joseph Stalin. Photos from the Council of Foreign ministers meetings are also included, as are photographs that accompanied a diary by Edwin W. Pauley on his mission to Manchuria in 1946 which document Soviet stripping of factory equipment there for war reparations. Other items of interest include photographs of a Congressional delegation visiting striking miners and their families in Colorado in 1914 just before the Ludlow Massacre; another Congressional trip out West in about 1920; and photographs from a trip to Haiti Byrnes and his wife took in 1938. Also part of this series are images from a report on historic buildings threatened by the Santee-Cooper Project which include pictures of Black Oak Church, Cedar Spring, Hanover House (reconstructed on the campus of Clemson University in 1941), Numerita, Ophir, and Pond Bluff. In addition there are photographs of damage along the South Carolina coast caused by a hurricane in 1940. This series is indexed under the following terms in the University Libraries' online catalog.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Presidential Inauguration with portraits of Roosevelt and Vice President John Nance Gardner, March 4, 1933

Series 13: Scrapbooks Series, 1921-1972, bulk 1932-1954 37 volumes and 9 rolls of microfilm. This series consists of articles, booklets, clippings, photographs, programs, and photocopies of booklets, correspondence, newspaper clippings, invitations, press releases, and speeches all mounted in scrapbooks. The volumes and microfilm in this series cover the period 1821-1972, with the bulk of the material documenting the career of James F. Byrnes from 1932-1954. The Stuttgart, Southern Governors’ Conference, and The State Magazine volumes were not filmed. The volumes and microfilm are in chronological order. The scrapbooks contain material—mainly newspaper clippings—that trace Byrnes’ life and career. They also contain information about his wife, Maude Busch Byrnes. Topics covered in the scrapbooks include civil rights, the Depression, the 1936, 1944, and 1952 Presidential elections (especially Byrnes’ prospects as a potential vice-presidential nominee in 1944), the 1950 South Carolina gubernatorial election, World War II and Byrnes’ role as an economic “czar,” the peace conferences and post-war international relations, and national and state politics in general. There are also some single subject or media scrapbooks. One contains copies of The State Magazine from January 2-June 5, 1949 and January 14, 1951. The May 22, 1949 issue in the scrapbook has an article on the Byrnes’ at home entitled “James F. Byrnes, R.F.D.” by John A. Montgomery and the January 14, 1951 issue has short column on Byrnes entitled “The New Governor.” Another scrapbook covers the 20th Annual Southern Governors’ Conference of November 1954 which was held in Boca Raton, Florida. It has four pages of photographs of clippings taken from Florida newspaper articles during the Conference. Other photographs in the scrapbook document activities during the Conference such as meetings, dinners, and a press conference. There is a scrapbook that purports to contain photographs of Byrnes’ visit to Stuttgart in September 1946. However, only one photograph may have been taken in Stuttgart; the others were taken in Berchtesgaden (specifically, Hitler’s Eagles Nest), Murnau, and Munich in Bavaria. The scrapbook also includes copy of The Bavarian, Volume 2, Number 37 (September 13, 1946), a newspaper published in Munich for the U.S. Military Government in Bavaria. Individuals shown in the photographs include Byrnes, Maude Byrnes, Senators Thomas Connally and Arthur Vandenberg, Hazel Vandenberg , and Byrnes’ administrative assistant Cassie Connor. Also in this series is a set of seven scrapbooks compiled between 1936 and 1948 for Byrnes by Ruth Earle Jones and Ernest E. Jones of Salley, SC. The volumes document the period 1936-1946 through articles and clippings and while mainly about Byrnes they also include national and international events happening during period. Among the clippings are copies of newspaper columns (“Salley” and “Small Town”) done by Ruth Jones. Each volume has commentary written in it, most of it by Ruth Jones but a little by

Earle Jones; much of it is in verse but that in the 1944 volume takes the form of faux letters to “Mom.” There are also clippings and photographs concerning Jones family, especially in the 1944 volume. Finally there is a scrapbook created in May 1972 by the staff of Special Collections, Clemson University Libraries; one copy was sent to State Archives and another was to be buried in a time capsule/vault near the Byrnes statue on the South Carolina State House grounds. It contains photocopies of booklets, correspondence, newspaper clippings, invitations, press releases, and speeches and copies of articles, photos, and programs taken from the Byrnes Papers which document his life from 1892-1972.
