The Ivy Baker Priest papers (1889-1975) document the career of this U. S. Treasurer and California State Treasurer and are concerned primarily with national and California political issues. A Utah native, Priest (1905-1975) was active in Republican party activities, was an unsuccessful Utah congressional candidate in 1934 and 1950, and served on Utah's Women's Legislative Council.

The Jean M. Westwood papers (1934-1995) contain much that is applicable to national, Utah, and Arizona politics, as well as the women's movement. Included are correspondence, speeches and articles, and a variety of documents resulting from her affiliation with various political and civic organizations, as well as her leadership in the Democratic party at both the state (Utah and Arizona) and national levels.
