Scope and Contents of the Materials

The J. F. T. O'Connor Papers date from 1906-1954, and consist of biographical materials, correspondence, speeches, legal and financial materials, and fifteen scrapbooks of newspaper clippings. The scrapbooks document events in both O'Connor's professional career and personal life. Researchers should note that the dates of the clippings within each scrapbook do not always follow strict chronological lines.

Also included is a framed photograph of O'Connor, measuring 171/2 inches by 215/8 inches. The photograph was inscribed by O'Connor to UND President John C. West. The inscription reads: "To my friend Pres. John C. West, with high esteem. J. F. T. O'Connor, Comptroller of Currency, Wash. D.C. Feb. 25-1938".
