The collection also includes postsenatorial papers associated with Fulbright's activities and interests from 1975-1990. Significant portions of the collection relate to United States foreign relations and include such important episodes in mid-twentieth century history as the Cuban missile crisis, the Bay of Pigs invasion, U.S. intervention in the Dominican Republic, and the Vietnam War. Other materials relate to the senator's major legislative interests and accomplishments and to his speechmaking in the Senate and elsewhere. The collection also provides information about the Democratic party and political activities and issues in Arkansas. The Fulbright papers are processed and open to researchers.
Restrictions limit access to some files.
To facilitate their work, researchers who wish to use the papers are advised to contact the Special Collections Division in advance. Betty Austin may also be contacted by e-mail.
