Thomas P. Gore Collection

The materials in the Gore Collection are mainly from the 1930s and 1940s and generally cover his post-Senate years. Many of the items document those things that were of interest to Gore throughout his life. Topics include national and Oklahoma politics, Indian affairs, economics, and World War II. Because of his reputation as a nationally renowned orator, Gore kept detailed speech files. These files cover Gore's entire public career with the earliest one dated in 1888. While the Gore Collection is only 15 linear feet, it contains a wide variety of materials related to topics important to Gore and Oklahoma. Many of the materials, especially the correspondence, come from Gore’s post-Senate years, but the Subject Correspondence and Papers are related to his time in the Senate and include documents related to Indian affairs, economics, national and Oklahoma politics, and both World War I and World War II. Because of his reputation as a nationally renowned orator, Gore kept detailed speech files that provide excellent insight into his views and the state of the nation. The Personal and Family Records are an interesting addition to the Gore Collection as they contain correspondence between Gore and a variety of relatives seeking to trace their genealogy and establish a family history for the Gore family.
