2 Introduction

The two banker boxes comprising this third deposit of the Geraldine A. Ferraro

Papers arrived at Marymount Manhattan College’s archives from Ms Ferraro’s former

law office at Blank Rome in in the winter of 2009. Processing of the

previous two deposits governed the creation of series for this one.

The Correspondence series documents Ferraro’s participation in ’s

campaign for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2008. The 58 folders

include letters from most of the fifty states, most sent either in March or August of that

year. One interesting feature is the number of letters from members of People United

Means Actions (PUMA). The correspondence reflects the wide range of opinions the

Obama campaign elicited.

The Speeches series covers the period 1979 to 2008. Ferraro’s initial donation contains most of the speeches she gave when running for office and her first addendum

contains speeches she gave as a member of the U.S. delegation the

Commission on ; this addendum is strongest in speeches given after 1997.

The collection reflects Ferraro’s work for a number of causes, especially her advocacy for patients with multiple myeloma, a disease she herself was diagnosed with in 1998. The speeches also document her relationship with particular groups, especially women’s groups and the Democratic Party.

The Subject series comprises 25 folders. They are arranged alphabetically. The deposit is kept in accordance with all current archival storage media available. It is kept in acid-free folders stored in acid-free boxes, with as little direct threat to the holdings as is possible.

3 Ferraro visited the Vorres Museum of Contemporary Greek Art in Athens, Greece, November 22, 1985, and received a copy of the museum guide autographed by a member of the Vorres family. She may have given the guide to Sister Judith Savard when she returned to the United States. On April 12, 2010, Circulation Manager Jason Herman, at that time a new employee, found it among the books on the shelf above his desk, where other books from the late Sister Judith were stored.
