Although Carl Flom spent most of his life in Madison, Wisconsin, as an alderman, practicing attorney, and judge, most of the material in this collection deals with his military career in Georgia and Japan from 1940 to 1947. The papers include correspondence and army memos, army memorabilia and photographs, and research notes for speeches on various military and political topics.
The Correspondence is mainly military in nature and includes no material from his years of law practice. The Speeches and Research Notes date mainly from the 1960s except for some official military photographs and one or two newspaper articles. The Scrapbooks detail his years at Camp Wheeler, 1940-1946, and include photographs and newspaper clippings of various camp events. Other photographs from both Georgia and Japan, some identified and some not, are in the part of this collection with call number PH 3873.
