The M. H. Ross Papers contain information pertaining to labor, politics, social issues of the twentieth century, coal mining and its resulting lifestyle, as well as photographs and audio materials. The collection is made up of five different accessions; L2001-05, which is contained in boxes one through 104, L2002-09 in boxes 106 through 120, L2006-16 in boxes 105 and 120, L2001-01 in boxes 120-121, and L2012-20 in boxes 122-125. The campaign materials consist of items from the 1940 and 1948 political campaigns in which Ross participated. These items include campaign cards, posters, speech transcripts, news clippings, rally materials, letters to voters, and fliers. Organizing and arbitration materials covers labor organizing events from "Operation Dixie" in Georgia, the furniture workers in North Carolina, and the Mine-Mill workers in the Western United States. Organizing materials include fliers, correspondence, news articles, radio transcripts, and some related photos. Arbitration files consist of agreements, decisions, and agreement booklets. The social and political research files cover a wide time period (1930's to the late 1970's/early 1980's). The topics include mainly the Ku Klux Klan, racism, Communism, Red Scare, red baiting, United States history, and literature. These files consist mostly of news and journal articles. Ross interacted with coal miners while doing work for the United Mine Workers Association (UMWA) and while working at the Fairmont Clinic in West Virginia. Included in these related files are books, news articles, journals, UMWA reports, and coal miner oral histories conducted by Ross. Tying in to all of the activities Ross participated in during his life were his research and manuscript files. He wrote numerous newspaper and journal articles on history and labor. Later, as he worked for the UMWA and at the Fairmont Clinic, he wrote more in-depth articles about coal miners, their lifestyle, and medical problems they faced (while the Southern Labor Archives has many of Ross's coal mining and lifestyle articles, it does not have any of his medical articles). Along with these articles are the research files Ross collected to write them, which consist of notes, books, and newspaper and journal articles. In additional to his professional career, Ross was adamant about documenting his and his wife's family history in the oral history format. Of particular interest are the recordings of his interviews with his wife's family - they were workers, musicians, and singers of labor and folk songs. Finally, in this collection are a number of photographs and slides, which include images of organizing, coal mining (from the late 19th through 20th centuries), and Appalachia. Of note is a small photo album from the 1930s which contains images from the Summer School for Workers, and more labor organizing. A few audio items are available as well, such as Ross political speeches and an oral history in which Ross was interviewed by his daughter, Jane Ross Davis in 1986. All photographic and audio-visual materials are at the end of their respective series. ; Myron Howard "Mike" Ross was born November 9, 1919 in New York City. He dropped out of school when he was seventeen and moved to Texas, where he worked on a farm. From 1936 until 1939, Ross worked in a bakery in North Carolina. In the summer of 1938, he attended the Southern School for Workers in Asheville, North Carolina. During the fall of 1938, Ross would attend the first Southern Conference on Human Welfare in Birmingham, Alabama. He would attend this conference again in 1940 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. From 1939 to 1940, Ross worked for the United Mine Workers Non-Partisan League in North Carolina, working under John L. Lewis. He was hired as a union organizer by the United Mine Workers of America, and sent to Saltville, Virginia and Rockwood, Tennessee. In 1940, Ross ran for a seat on city council on the People's Platform in Charlotte, North Carolina. During this time, he also married Anne "Buddie" West of Kennesaw, Georgia. From 1941 until 1945, Ross served as an infantryman for the United States Army. He sustained injuries near the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944. From 1945 until 1949, Ross worked for the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, then part of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), as a union organizer. He was sent to Macon, Georgia, Savannah, Georgia and to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he worked with the United Furniture Workers Union. He began handling arbitration for the unions. In 1948, Ross ran for United States Congress on the Progressive Party ticket in North Carolina. He also served as the secretary for the North Carolina Progressive Party. Ross attended the University of North Carolina law school from 1949 to 1952. He graduated with honors but was denied the bar on the grounds of "character." From 1952 until 1955, he worked for the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers as a union organizer, first in New Mexico (potash mines) and then in Arizona (copper mines). From 1955 to 1957, Ross attended the Columbia University School of Public Health. He worked for the United Mine Workers of America Welfare and Retirement Fund from 1957 to 1958, where he represented the union in expenditure of health care for mining workers. By 1958, Ross began plans for what would become the Fairmont Clinic, a prepaid group practice in Fairmont, West Virginia, which had the mission of providing high quality medical care for miners and their families. From 1958 until 1978, Ross served as administrator of the Fairmont Clinic. As a result of this work, Ross began researching coal mining, especially coal mining lifestyle, heritage and history of coal mining and disasters. He would interview over one hundred miners (coal miners). Eventually, Ross began writing a manuscript about the history of coal mining. Working for the Rural Practice Program of the University of North Carolina from 1980 until 1987, Ross taught in the medical school. M. H. Ross died on January 31, 1987 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. ; Digitization of the M. H. Ross Papers was funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.

The League of Women Voters of Texas is a non-partisan organization that works to promote political responsibility through active informed participation of all citizens in their government. In 1919, the Texas Equal Suffrage Association evolved into the Texas League of Women Voters, and today is recognized as the League of Women Voters of Texas. Their hallmark activity is the circulation of Voters' Guides through newspapers prior to elections; locally, regionally, statewide, and nationally. The League's intent is dissemination of information on political candidates, and the objective promotion of "political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government." The organization's efforts, however, are by no means limited to politics, but also address issues on water, health care, hazardous wastes, education, energy, and such international concerns as the United Nations. ; The records of the League of Women Voters of Texas also reflect socio-economic changes in the United States with the active organizational membership drives of the mid to late 1970s in response to American society's evolution into a two income family. Collectively, the materials provide researchers with invaluable insight into politics and political concerns on an international, national, statewide, and local basis. ; The collection consists of materials from national, state, and local files, financial materials, photographs, and publications of the National, Texas, and local leagues, as well as other state leagues. Also included are a study of the national league, scrapbooks, memorabilia, vice-presidential program files, and printed materials. The focus of the collection is on state committees and local units. ; Highlights from the donation include the original 1919 minutes from the Texas Equal Suffrage Association authorizing the organizational conversion to the Texas League of Women Voters, films produced by the group on legislative processes, the 104th Congressional recognition given and signed by Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison on the 75th anniversary of the League of Women Voters of Texas, and the flag that flew over the Texas capitol on that day.

The invitation was a reception and luncheon in honor of Governor Benjamin Odell held at the Twentieth Century Club of Buffalo clubhouse, May 7, 1941. Governor Odell was in office during the Pan American Exposition, held in Buffalo in 1901.

Jevrejsko kulturno društvo "La Benevolencia" želi da se ovom Spomenicom priključi onim mnogobrojnim manifestacijama kojima je širom cijelog svijeta, gdjegod žive Jevreji, obilježena osamstogodišnjica od rođenja Moše ben Majmona (Rambama). Veliki mislilac, i još veći zakonodavac, Majmonides je najznačajnija duhovna figura među Jevrejima, jer se bez njega ne može ni zamisliti posebni duhovni život jevrejskih zajednica, niti razvoj pojedinih vjerskih disciplina uopšte, od vremena njegovog djelovanja do danas. Majmonides je, međutim, i jedno vrlo krupno ime u istoriji onog filozofskog i naučnog razdoblja na Pirinejskom poluostrvu koje je dalo novu sadržinu i jak zamah misaonom radu cijele Evrope onoga vremena. Zbog toga on spada u krug onih srednjevjekovnih mislilaca koji su svojim djelom položili prve osnove racionalističkoj filozofiji u doba Preporoda. Ovakva ocjena njegove filozofske pojave dala je povoda ogromnom broju napisa i knjiga u kojima su mislioci svih evropskih naroda prikazali Majmonidesov rad. Španija, domovina Majmonidesova, odala je na poseban način poštu svom velikom sinu time što je proslavi osamstogodišnjice njegova rođenja dala zvaničan karakter. Svečanosti održane tim povodom u istorijskoj Kordovi, rodnom gradu Majmonidesovom, bile su i bogate svojom sadržinom i dostojanstvene svojom formom; međutim, za nas Jevreje one imaju i jedan duboki istorijski smisao, baš zato što su se one održale u jednoj zemlji u kojoj se odigrao jedan koliko dug toliko i sudbonosan period naše istorije. ; The Jewish Cultural Society "La Benevolencia" wants to join this memorial with the numerous events that mark the eight-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Moshe ben Maimon (Rambam) around the world, wherever Jews live. The great thinker, and even greater legislator, Maimonides is the most important spiritual figure among Jews, because without him one cannot imagine the special spiritual life of Jewish communities, nor the development of certain religious disciplines in general, from the time of his activity until today. However, Maimonides is also a very huge name in the history of that philosophical and scientific period on the Iberian Peninsula, which gave new content and a strong elan to the thought work of the whole of Europe at that time. Therefore, he belongs to the circle of those medieval thinkers who laid the first foundations of rationalist philosophy in the Renaissance. This assessment of his philosophical appearance gave rise to a huge number of articles and books in which thinkers of all European nations presented the work of Maimonides. Spain, the homeland of Maimonides, paid tribute to its famous son in a special way by giving the celebration of the eight-hundredth anniversary of his birth an official character. The festivities held on that occasion in the historic Cordoba, the hometown of Maimonides, were both rich in content and dignified in form; however, for us Jews, they also have a deep historical meaning, precisely because they took place in a country where a period as long and as fateful as our history took place. ; Str. 109-135: Bibliographia Maimonidica.
