Plaque Commemorating a Groundbreaking, July 9, 1976 (plastic facing mounted on bronze plate)

This series consists primarily of memorabilia relating to the periods he served as head of the Small Business Administration and the Secretary of the Interior, although some items pertaining to his two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives are also included. Various plaques, certificates, and trophies make up a large portion of the contents but photographs also figure prominently. In order to conserve space, many of the plaques were removed from their wooden backing, so that only the metal facing is preserved. In a few instances, photocopies have been kept in lieu of the original plaque.
