United States--Politics and government--1969-1974

The papers of Foster McGaw (the founder and guiding force behind the American Hospital Supply Corporation) document his life between 1908 and 1986 and fill 95 boxes. They are divided into three subseries: Personal Files, Philanthropic Records, and Financial Records. The papers illuminate both McGaw's personal concerns and, to a lesser extent, his business affairs, although these areas sometimes overlap.

The papers of journalist and author James S. Rosen fill 131 boxes and span the years 1918 to 2014. These papers document Rosen’s life and journalism career, as well as his extensive research relating to his biography of former Attorney General John N. Mitchell (The Strong Man: John Mitchell and the Secrets of Watergate). Materials include, but are not limited to, documents, photographs, recorded interviews, and clippings.

This collection includes 300 audio recordings of notable WNUR broadcasts. The topics of the recordings range from general aspects of Northwestern University life, student activities and performances, to various social and political speeches and meetings.
