After his death, his widow and friends donated the balance of his papers, including his voluminous correspondence, speeches, writings, notes, and reference materials until, by 1941, the Hoover Institution had custody of almost all of Jordan's papers aside from official university files. In 1945 the papers were divided between the Stanford University Library (these were subsequently included in the Stanford University Archives) and the Hoover Institution, which retained all of the papers dealing with war and peace, most of the papers dealing with international relations, and many Register of the David Starr Jordan XX240 2 papers papers dealing with U.S. social and political affairs (in areas such as civil liberties, problems of minorities, alien land laws, and higher education).
