Abstract: The Thomas J. Dodd Papers illuminate the diverse public life of a self-styled crusader. The collection consists primarily of material from Dodd's Senate years (1959-1971) and the Nuremberg war crimes trial before the International Military Tribunal from 1945-1946.

Series VI: Campaign Files (1949-1970) cover a wide range of topics concerning Dodd's efforts to win elective office from 1952-1970. The bulk of the material, however, spans the period between 1955 and 1970. The series is arranged alphabetically by subject and chronologically within subjects where appropriate. Correspondence, press releases, delegate lists, and press clippings constitute the main portions of this material. The series offers a perspective into the day-to-day operations of congressional campaigns through mailing lists, drafts of promotional material, correspondence with campaign workers and constituents, and political commentaries on Dodd and the major issues of his day. Detailed summaries of his life and legislative triumphs reveal how Dodd hoped to present himself to voters. Much of the material deals with the composition and procedures of the Democratic Party in Connecticut.
