Elected officials often support issues related to social movements, such as feminism, civil rights, and LGBT issues, and these movements are often documented in the papers of elected officials. In addition, elected individuals frequently devote themselves to a movement that is personally relevant to their own lives. Are these collections "personal papers" or "political papers" — or are the lines blurred? Presenters examine the value and importance of elected officials papers in developing rich and diverse collections related to social movements.
