Guide to the Preservation of Federal Judges' Papers

A Guide to the Preservation of Federal Judges’ Papers, Second Edition, Federal Judicial History Office, Federal Judicial Center 2009

  • “The preservation of a judge’s chambers papers and other personal records establishes a foundation for historical studies that document the role of the federal judiciary in American life. The personal papers of a judge offer a perspective and a level of detail not available in the official records of the courts. Research collections based on judges’ papers are often the most valuable source for illuminating the judicial process. Yet all too often this critical portion of the historical record of the federal courts has been lost, and with it a full appreciation for the contributions of individual judges.”
