Scope and Contents

From the Collection: Essentially a political collection, the Reva Beck Bosone papers (1927-1977) contain very little personal material. However, the first part of the collection includes her autobiography and a number of biographical sketches, as well as personal memorabilia such as greeting cards, invitations, award certificates, and programs.

The bulk of the correspondence is contained in four boxes, filed by date. These letters are from congressional colleagues, constituents, and personal friends. Other correspondence related to specific subjects is interfiled throughout the collection where it is supportive or items on the same topic. In addition to the four boxes of speeches or statements filed by date, there are others filed under related subject headings where necessary to clarify the topic.

Comprising the central part of the collection are items directly related to Reva Beck Bosone's political life. Materials from her years as judge in the Salt Lake Traffic Court are in this portion. Campaign materials, voting records, and legislation are also included in this section, as well as materials related to her committee and subcommittee assignments, including two boxes on Utah water projects. Materials on issues in which she had a special interest, such as alcoholism, foreign affairs, and business, are filed alphabetically in four boxes.

General items on women and women's clubs (both Utah and national) and Utah are included together in one box. Two boxes on the Democratic and Republican parties contain miscellaneous political material. Following this is a volume containing the decisions made by Judge Bosone as a judicial officer for the United States Post Office Department.

The Subject Files are arranged alphabetically and contain such items as club rosters and pending military discharge cases in which Bosone had an interest. The six scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings, photographs, and other memorabilia. Addenda to the collection includes correspondence, tributes, essays, and miscellaneous materials.
