Maureen and Mike Mansfield Family Photographs and Papers
1907-1987
55 images0.2 linear feet
This collection features photographs and papers from Mike Mansfield, Montana politician and statesman, his wife Maureen and their daughter Anne. The collection highlights the Mansfields' private life and is more personal in nature than Mike Mansfield's political papers, although much of the contents do reflect on his career. Photographs of the Mansfields' childhoods and extended family, as well as some limited correspondence related to Marueen's early career in social work are noteworthy, as is Mike Mansfield's hand-written diary from a study trip to Latin America in 1948 (photocopied).

Biographical Note
Mike Mansfield was a prominent politician and statesman from Montana who served in the U.S. House of Representatives (1943-1952), the U.S. Senate (1953-1977), and as Ambassador to Japan (1977-1988). He married Maureen Hayes in 1932 and they had one daughter, Anne Fairclough Mansfield, who later became a researcher and scholar based in London.
This collection consists of 55 photographs of Mike Mansfield, Maureen Mansfield and daughter Anne Mansfield, including images of Mike Mansfield as a child and in military uniform. The collection also includes photographs of Mike Mansfield during his tenure as Congressman and Senator from Montana and as U. S. Ambassador to Japan. Other family members, including both Maureen and Mike’s siblings and Maureen’s parents, are also represented in the collection. Most of the images were captured in Western Montana and the Washington D.C. area and were selected by Anne Mansfield Marris for donation to the Archives. Photocopies of some of Maureen Mansfield's letters and Mike Mansfield's 1948 diary from a trip to Latin America are also present.
This collection is divided into two series.
Series I: Photographs, 1907-1987, 55 images
Series II: Papers and Miscellaneous, circa 1930s-1948, 0.2 linear feet

Anne Mansfield Marris held photographs 944-0001 through 944-0051, as well as the photocopies in Series II, until she donated them to the University of Montana in 2002 and 2003. Custodial history for photographs 944-0052 through 944-0055 is unknown.
Anne Mansfield donated the photographs and papers to the University of Montana Archives in 2002 and 2003.
University of Montana’s Archives assigned photo numbers to the images in 2002 and initially planned to house them with the Mike Mansfield Papers (Mss 065). In 2021, the images were processed as a separate collection (Mss 944) and assigned updated photo numbers. Four additional photos (944-0052 through 944-0055) were accessioned in 2021 and added to the collection. In 2023, Series II was added to the collection.
The University of Montana's Archives and Special Collections holds the Mike Mansfield Papers, Mss 65, which includes thousands of photographs.
