Scope and Content NoteThe papers of Harold LeClair Ickes (1874-1952) span the years 1815-1969, with the bulk of the material concentrated in theperiod 1933-1951. Almost all aspects of Ickes's career are illuminated in the papers through letters to friends and critics,official correspondence while he was secretary of the interior, his diary, unpublished and published memoirs andautobiographical sketches, and speeches and statements. Ickes's diary includes observations on affairs of state andprominent public figures. Although the collection includes little family correspondence , Ickes's memoirs in the Speechesand Writings File contain information regarding his family life and early years.

The General Correspondence series is organized in two chronological sections: 1903-1933 and 1946-1952. Ickes's personalcorrespondence for the period in which he was secretary of the interior is in the Secretary of the Interior File , much of itunder the heading "Friends." Ickes assisted in the 1905 mayoral campaign of John Maynard Harlan. Material onProgressivism and Theodore Roosevelt's relationship to the movement is found in files on Hiram Johnson, DonaldRichberg, and Raymond Robins. Other political subjects discussed in the correspondence include the 1920 presidentialcampaign of James M. Cox. Charles Evans Hughes and the presidential campaign of 1916 are noted in files on Will H.Hays and James R. Garfield. The appointment of Progressives to political office in Chicago and in Illinois and the attemptby Hiram Johnson to take the 1924 Republican presidential nomination from Calvin Coolidge are discussed as well.

Ickes wrote regularly for the Progressive State Central Committee of Illinois, advocating such measures as product safetyand the banning of literacy tests for immigrants as a requisite for voting. He was also involved during the 1920s in thePeople's Traction League, an association organized to combat the attempt by Samuel Insull to control rail service inChicago during the period 1925-1930, and the People's Protective League, 1922-1923, through which Ickes and otherProgressives blocked the passage of a revised Illinois constitution which they believed was not compatible with the needsof the people. These activities are documented in the first section of the General Correspondence file, as are such diverseinterests as Ickes's stock market investments and his hobbies of growing dahlias and collecting stamps.

The second part of the General Correspondence series, 1946-1952, includes material on conservation issues, Ickes's interestin bringing the offshore oil issue before the Supreme Court for final settlement, planning for the hydrogen bomb, andcorruption in government. An occasional file relates to his interests in legal matters. File names in both parts of the GeneralCorrepondence series refer to names of correspondents and to subjects of interest.

While Ickes was secretary of the interior, his personal correspondence and other material was filed separately from theInterior Department's official records and constitutes the largest single segment of the Ickes collection. Ickes was interestedin Native American concerns and the treatment of the Japanese Americans during World War II. Other subjects include thegovernance of American territories such as Puerto Rico, oil and its effect upon society and business and as a dwindlingnatural resource, the early development of a Middle East pipeline and the formation of the Arabian-American OilCompany, the offshore oil dispute, presidential politics and Ickes's role in presidential campaigns, Franklin D. Roosevelt'scabinet and Ickes's disagreements with fellow cabinet officers Henry Morgenthau (1891-1967) and Henry Agard Wallace,and public works. Card indexes to the correspondence and speeches in this file are available in the Manuscript DivisionReading Room.

The Secretary of the Interior File also includes drafts and final copies of articles, books, pamphlets, and speeches withrelated correspondence for the 1933-1946 period. The file indicates that although not all of Ickes's writings were from hisown hand, he frequently reviewed and edited works written for him.

The Speeches and Writings File contains material from the period before and after Ickes's tenure as secretary of the interior,including reading copies, a printed set of speeches he delivered as secretary, and his memoirs, which he began to writeshortly after entering Roosevelt's cabinet. The memoirs concern his education, family relationships, legal career, politicalinterests, World War I experiences, and life in Chicago after the war. Comments on Ickes's political activities as a campaignmanager include sketches of local Chicago political figures such as Fred Busse, John Maynard Harlan, and CharlesMerriam. Another version of his memoirs was written for serialization in the Saturday Evening Post and possible laterpublication.

The Subject File supplements the General Correspondence . The Legal File includes material dated before 1933, a periodnot well documented in most other parts of the collection. Ickes represented clients in divorce suits, property settlements,and estate planning. He also represented trade associations and corporate interests and was occasionally involved incriminal cases. After he left public service, he represented a few clients in an advisory capacity.


Scrapbooks and miscellaneous material complete the collection. The Miscellany series includes printed matter, invitations,reports, memorabilia, financial journals, and a scheduling file of engagements and activities for the last six years of Ickes'slife. The scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings compiled by Department of the Interior staff reflecting Ickes'sachievements as secretary as well as compilations of personal memorabilia.

The Addition contains material obtained by the Library from other sources and added to the Ickes Papers. The bulk of thismaterial consists of correspondence between Karl D. Vittum and Ickes, 1914-1917, regarding the Progressive Party ofIllinois.

Ickes's diary and memoirs are also available on microfilm. The typewritten copy of his diary, 1933-1951, was subsequentlywithdrawn to prepare a published version and returned with approximately three hundred pages missing. The missing pagesare thus included only in the microfilm copy. A list of the missing typescript pages appears in an appendix to this register.A third copy of the diary, consisting of a typescript for the years 1943-1951 with emendations by an editor, does not appearon the microfilm.

The index was filmed from photocopies which are available in the Manuscript Division Reading Room. Also available areindex cards for the diary for 1946, an alphabetical card index to outgoing correspondence in the Secretary of the InteriorFile , and a card index, arranged by subject and location, to the speeches Ickes delivered as secretary of the interior.
