Papers, books, photographs, memorabilia, correspondence, speeches and scrapbooks. This collection consists mainly of papers connected with Fuller Warren's public life: his campaigns of 1948 and 1956, and particularly the four years he was Governor, from January 4, 1949, to January 6, 1953. One of the best documented areas in the collection deals with Warren's controversy with Senator Estes Kefauver over crime in Florida.

These papers include two boxes of World War II correspondence, largely between Albert H. Garretson and Agnes P. Garretson while Albert was involved with the Foreign Economic Division and the G-2 division of SHAEF. Garretson shares his views on the bureacratic side of the war and his insights from working on the economic board and SHAEF. He also served on an "Anglo-American Brain Trust" meant to foster good relations between Americans and the British. Agnes also shares her views on the war and American politics.
