  • Eastland Clippings Inventory

    Eastland Clippings Inventory

    JAMES O. EASTLAND COLLECTION FILE SERIES 2: PUBLIC RELATIONS SUBSERIES 4: CLIPPINGS This subseries contains twenty-four boxes of clippings from newspapers and journals dating between 1910 and 1978, with the bulk of the material from between 1941 and 1978. Many of these clippings are news stories that either feature or at least mention Senator Eastland. Other clippings are on subjects of interest to Eastland and his staff. In addition, this subseries includes clippings forwarded to the senator by constituents and other interested parties; however, most examples of this latter group reside in Issue Correspondence. Aside from direct coverage of Eastland, frequent topics are agriculture, civil rights, communism, the Internal Security Subcommittee, the Judiciary Committee, and politics. Researchers interested in Eastland speeches should be aware that press coverage often pre-dates and post-dates the month in which the event transpired. Files are organized chronologically by month/year and then alphabetically by subject. Undated material appears at the end in Box 23. The very last item is a folder of printouts of Eastland news stories between 1969 and 1978 from the New York Times Information Bank. Oversized material resides in Box 24. The quantity of clippings in Subseries 2 is not consistent across Eastland’s congressional tenure, and some years are quite simply sparse – in particular, 1950-1954, 1958-61, and 1963. The volume increased dramatically after 1968, and 1978 boasts the largest amount. Further clippings are available in the Scrapbooks subseries. The Audio Recordings subseries also contains several recordings of Mississippi staff reading local papers aloud over the telephone to Washington, DC personnel.

    JAMES O. EASTLAND COLLECTION FILE SERIES 2: PUBLIC RELATIONS SUBSERIES 2: AUDIO RECORDINGS Audio recordings in the Eastland Collection include campaign jingles and advertisements, speeches, news interviews, oral histories, committee hearings, and unsolicited recordings sent to the senator by constituents and citizens across the nation. The James O. Eastland Collection possesses a total of thirty-four reel-to-reels, forty-three cassette tapes, and five 78 rpm discs. In January 2007, the Modern Political Archives received a $1,000 grant from the University of Mississippi Provost’s Associates and Partners Grants Program to restore and create digital copies of eight audio reel-to-reels in the Eastland Collection. The audio laboratories at Cutting Corporation completed the work one month later. In 2010, the Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded a $450,000 grant to the University of Mississippi to preserve and digitize all recordings in the Modern Political Archives. This grant permitted the archive to complete the digitization of all audio recordings in the collection by May 2011. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed here do not necessarily represent those of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. For preservation reasons, the original recordings are stored in a climate-controlled facility, and access is restricted. However, digital counterparts are available as part of the James O. Eastland Digital Collection. Although descriptions of the recordings are available to anyone on the internet, not all of the recordings are accessible on the web due to copyright. Researchers may only review restricted recordings via onsite computer terminals in the J.D.
