Scope and Content
This collection contains materials primarily related to Terry Sanford's political career. From his campaign for president of the Young Democrats Clubs of North Carolina in 1949 through his unsuccessful 1992 senatorial campaign, Sanford spent much of his time either in office or campaigning for office.
The first five series detail discrete parts of Sanford's political activities. Series 1 concerns many of Sanford's political activities prior to his 1959-1960 gubernatorial campaign. Especially well-documented are his efforts to gather support for his bid to become president of the Young Democratic Clubs of North Carolina in 1950. Also included is a small amount of information about W. Kerr Scott's successful 1948 gubernatorial campaign, and a scrapbook concerning Frank Porter Graham's senatorial campaign of 1950.
Series 2 offers detailed information on Sanford's 1959-1960 gubernatorial campaign. Included are day-to-day accounts from local Sanford supporters, Sanford correspondence with key advisors, clippings from dozens of state and regional newspapers, telegrams and letters reacting to Sanford's support of John F. Kennedy at the Democratic National Convention, and other items. Also included are film (Series 6) and audio recordings (Series 7) of Sanford gubernatorial campaign advertisements.
Series 3 documents Sanford's political activities as governor of North Carolina, 1961-1965. Most of Sanford's official records as governor are housed at the North Carolina State Archives in Raleigh, N.C. The materials in this collection include hundreds of applications for political appointments and items concerning the North Carolina Democratic Party. Also included are several films in Series 6 and dozens of audiotapes in Series 7, recorded while Sanford was governor.
Series 4 covers the years after Sanford left the governor's office until he was elected United States senator in 1986. During much of this time, Sanford was president of Duke University; and most of his papers from this period are housed at Duke. Materials in this collection include items related to Sanford's proposed 1968 senatorial campaign against Sam Ervin and to both runs at the United States presidency made by Sanford in 1972 and 1976. Series 4 also contains detailed information on the 1968 Citizens for Humphrey-Muskie Committee that supported Hubert Humphrey and Edmund Muskie. Sanford was the Committee's co-chair. Note that there are no materials relating to Sanford's 1986 senatorial campaign.
Series 5 contains items related primarily to Sanford's unsuccessful 1992 senatorial campaign. Included are North Carolina voters' responses to a Sanford questionnaire and detailed reports on Sanford's opponent, Lauch Faircloth. Also included are several video (Series 6) and audio (Series 7) recordings relating to the campaign.
Series 8 contains photographs primarily related to the 1992 United States Senate campaign.
The Addition of 2011 primarily consists of notes, short letters, and greeting cards, 1960-1985, from friends and acquaintances addressed to Margaret Rose Sanford. Topics addressed include Terry Sanford's gubernatorial campaign in 1960, congratulations on Sanford's victory, declarations of support for Sanford's 1961 tax plan, and the conclusion of Terry Sanford's term as governor in 1964. There are also a few letters that disagree with Sanford's policies. There are notes and letters from Virgina Davis, secretary to the governor of Missouri John M. Dalton. One of Davis' letters, dated 12 December 1963, mentions Kennedy's assassination; another letter dated 11 June 1964 touches on the topic of working women. There are also notes from the Capitol Receptionist-Secretary and Margaret Rose Sanford's secretary. There are also meeting minutes, receiving line lists, and other items relating to Margaret Rose Sanford's role as First Lady. The Additon also includes a small amount of letters, primarily thank-yous, addressed to Terry Sanford as well as letters to Terry Sanford's mother, Elizabeth Martin Sanford, discussing Terry Sanford's acheivements.
