32 manuscript boxes
Senator Craig's papers consist mostly of correspondence. The bulk of material spans the period 1965-1970. Arranged alphabetically by subject and chronologically thereunder.
The collection was accessioned and processed in two different sections: Boxes 1-13 first (Series I, dated 1965-1966; Series 2, dated 1966-1967), and Boxes 14-32 later. For this reason, alphabetical subjects begin again in Box 14, and the dates sometimes overlap those in previous boxes. Because of this, the Series designation was subsequently dropped.
