Content Description

The LaVarr G. Webb papers (1788-1986) contain pamphlets, articles, speeches, correspondence, political platforms, and other documents relavent to Utah and National politics. The first group of boxes deal with Utah issues, beginning with Utah Legislative actions and moving on to Utah political parties.

Of special note is the section on National Special Interest Groups following the political parties section. The collection ends with several articles on United States Presidents and an assortment of different documents.
