The documents connect federal pension policy to state electoral geography through August G. Mueller's Indiana congressional apportionment map and to campaign messaging through tabulated votes on the AAA TVA Gold Bill Silver Bill Securities Exchange Act Norris-HOLC Amendment Navy Construction Act Housing Bill and Labor Disputes Bill.<br /> <br /> Five documents stapled at top left corner. 1935 chiefly Indiana with federal legislative and campaign material extending to Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Oklahoma Oregon and Pennsylvania. 16 pages in total.

Gus. Indiana Congressional Apportionment Map. Indiana ca. 1935. One page. Large printed map headed "August G. Gus Mueller / Secretary of State" showing Indiana's twelve congressional districts with county boundaries and population figures. Lower text notes the "Apportionment of 1931 based on the census of 1930" applicable to elections beginning in 1932 and specifically identifies the portion of Marion County in the 11th District tying the archive's pension and campaign material to the district structure within which Indiana candidates were contesting office.<br /> <br /> 2 United States House of Representatives. H.R. 6995. In the House of Representatives March 25 1935. One sheet two pages. Official printed bill for the 74th Congress 1st Session titled "A Bill Granting pensions to veterans of the Spanish-American War including the Boxer Rebellion and the Philippine Insurrection their widows and dependents and for other purposes." The bill states that laws in effect on March 19 1933 granting such pensions were to be reenacted making the document a direct record of New Deal era restoration and enlargement of benefits for aging veterans of the 1898 war and subsequent U.S. campaigns in China and the Philippines.<br /> <br /> 3 Newspaper clipping. Indiana candidates by congressional district ca. 1935. Narrow printed clipping listing Indiana candidates district by district including names such as Andrew J. Hickey in the Third District David Hogg in the Fourth Gerald W. Landis in the Seventh Charles F. Werner in the Eighth Chester A. Davis in the Ninth Clarence M. Brown in the Tenth Don Roberts in the Eleventh and Homer Elliott in the Twelfth.

Report No. 974 To Accompany H.R. 6995. Washington D.C. May 22 1935. Four pages on one sheet bifolded. House report submitted by Mr. Smith of Washington from the Committee on Pensions recommending passage of the bill and giving the most detailed policy language in the archive. Its "General Statement" specifies that the bill would extend benefits to those who served between April 21 1898 and July 4 1902 gives the average monthly payment then being received as $32.17 proposes an average monthly pension award of $42.85 states the average age of such veterans as "61 years and 8 months" and includes a May 9 1935 letter from Frank T.

Eight page ballot-style political leaflet tabulating senators' and representatives' votes across several states with photographed sections for Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Oklahoma Oregon and Pennsylvania. The tables reduce congressional politics to a usable campaign matrix marking "Y" "N" "NR" and "PF" across measures including the Emergency Banking Act National Economy Act 1933 Independent Offices Bill Beer AAA TVA 1933 Gold Bill CWA continuance 1934 Revenue Bill Veterans' Compensation Bill Bill to Reduce Tariff Securities Exchange Act Norris HOLC Amendment Navy Construction Act Housing Bill and Labor Disputes Bill; accompanying text summarizes selected measures such as the Civil Works Administration continuance Cotton Control Bill Silver Purchase Act and Tariff Act of 1934.<br /> <br /> The two federal pension papers form the archive's documentary center because they preserve the precise legislative language by which Congress revisited the status of veterans of the Spanish-American War the Boxer Rebellion and the Philippine Insurrection in 1935 decades after those campaigns had extended U.S. power into the Caribbean and Pacific. The supporting Indiana documents show how that policy landscape was translated into district-based electoral work while the voting leaflet widens the view to a national New Deal contest over social provision public spending agriculture currency housing labor and veterans' compensation. Folded and stapled as assembled with pronounced creasing moderate toning and scattered staining to edges; complete and legible. Overall good condition. A snapshot of U.S. policy in the Midwest in 1935 preserving legislation on veteran's pensions New Deal vote-tracking and Indiana electoral geography. unknown
1950201161950. Homelessness press photography archive 1951 to 1990s documents displaced people in American cities through images of soup kitchens public sleeping spaces roadside survival emergency shelters and encampments. The archive provides primary visual evidence for the study of urban poverty public welfare veteran reintegration housing insecurity and the changing visibility of homelessness in the second half of the twentieth century. Its strongest historical value lies in the range of settings recorded: postwar charitable food assistance men sleeping in parks and public spaces Vietnam veterans gathered beneath highway infrastructure shelter-based aid and women living in vehicles with personal belongings and pets.<br /> The archive consists of eight black-and-white silver gelatin press photographs from the United States dated from 1951 to the 1990s most measuring approximately 7.25 x 9 inches with several retaining original press captions or newspaper clippings mounted on the verso. The earliest image shows a 1951 soup kitchen scene assisting homeless residents. Later photographs show Vietnam veterans beneath an underpass using mattresses and boxes for seating; a Queens New York veterans' shelter where an African American veteran shops for clothing with a staff supervisor; and Gabrielle Mendosa resting on a mattress near the Miami River beside the encampment identified as "Tent City under the Xway." Additional images show men sleeping on park benches or lawns including a scene associated with the Boston Freedom Trail Walk for the Homeless two men attempting to sell recovered household appliances by the roadside and a woman identified as Lynn living in her car with her belongings and dog while seeking assistance.<br /> The photographs are significant because they record homelessness not as a single condition but as a set of lived circumstances shaped by food insecurity military afterlives public space shelter access informal economies and the absence of stable housing. The retained press captions and clippings connect the images to their original journalistic use showing how homelessness was presented to newspaper audiences across several decades. Minor edge wear light handling marks and typical press-photo surface wear; verso caption material and clippings present on several photographs; images remain clear and usable; overall very good. Concentrated documentary archive showing American homelessness from institutional relief to street encampment with particular strength in veteran homelessness and urban public visibility. unknown
