Abstract:

Papers of F. Ryan Duffy, a Democratic U.S. senator (1932-1938) and federal judge for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (1939-1949) and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (1949-1978), consisting of biographical material, correspondence, campaign material, legislative and judicial files, and speeches. General correspondence (1933-1973) deals with such subjects as his law firm, honors, politics, personal matters, reunions, and trips. Campaign material covers Duffy's election bids for the U.S. Senate, as well as general Wisconsin politics during the period. On Duffy's Senate career there is correspondence about various events and issues and files on patronage and legislation written or supported by Duffy. His work on copyright legislation is especially well represented.
