William F. and Catherine D. Norrell

The collection contains letters, funeral memorials, scrapbooks, maps, and photographs. Twenty scrapbooks cover Mr. Norrell's career as a congressman, dating from 1938 to 1961. Four other scrapbooks contain materials dating from Mrs. Norrell's term in Congress as well as her involvement with the Congressional Club and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The collection includes over four hundred photographs. Many images portray either Mr. Norrell's work with the Subcommittee on Military Appropriations or Mrs. Norrell's work with the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Noteworthy are autographed pictures, letters bearing the signatures of notables and a pen used by President Eisenhower to sign the act making Arkansas Post a national memorial, and a wax impression of the seal of the President of the United States.
