STATE HISTORIAN’S OFFICE RECORDS 1955-1970

RECORD GROUP 29

Date Completed: April 1974/January 1982

MICROFILMED SCOPE AND CONTENT

The papers of the State Historian, 1955-1970, document the activities of Dr. Robert H. White. Primary records are correspondence, copies of newspaper relating to the Governors, speeches and subject files. th Created in 1955 by an act of the 79 General Assembly (Chapter 130), the duties entail the study, evaluation and publication of authentic data relating to Tennessee history. Although a need was officially recognized by a legislative Select Committee in 1851, the impetus for the Creation of the office did not materialize until the Tennessee Historical Commission succeeded in obtaining an appropriation to prepare the first publication on Tennessee history with State funds, Volumes I and II of the Messages of the Governors of Tennessee. Prior to his appointment as State Historian by Governor Clement on April 1, 1955, Dr. White made substantial contributions to the dissemination of knowledge of Tennessee history. Through his chairmanship of the Publications Committee of the Historical Commission, an accurate record of the problems associated with the publications can be found. Of particular interest to the researcher is the wealth of knowledge about the history of the State which Dr. White assimilated. Questions of historical, political and social import such as trial by jury, impeachment procedures and constitutional conventions were relegated by Dr. White. The papers include some original source materials, such as pamphlets and correspondence. Dates in the register reflect these original sources. The index identifies prominent individual with whom Dr. White corresponded and who cannot be located by using the subject file. Topics of consequence are indexed. Research material relating to the administration of Governor Malcolm R. Patterson is to be incorporated in Volume IX, Messages of the Governors. Of particular interest is information about the Supreme Court involving itself in politics, the assassination of Senator Edward Ward Carmack and Colonel Duncan Brown Cooper’s trial and subsequent pardon by Governor Patterson. Two lectures, “Character” by Senator Carmack and Patterson’s “True Reforms and False Reformers” are significant.
