This collection contains a limited, insider’s perspective of Senator Winters’ multiple terms in the legislature, as well as selected windows into her pre-legislative work and personal life. The bulk of the collection is made up of legislative records, which provide a glimpse of the inner workings of the legislative process. The correspondence, primarily from fellow legislators and constituents, as well as extensive press items, also provide contemporary context for Winters’ work and time in the state legislature. Additionally, the select materials regarding Winters’ pre-legislative work, especially the scrapbooks of photographs, correspondence, and press from the 1970s–1980s, emphasize the main areas of professional focus for Winters during that period. The limited pieces of personal documentation supplement these professional records to provide a more comprehensive picture of Winters, her professional efforts, and her personal interests.

The collection contains papers, photographs, mimeograph sheets, transparencies, inventory cards, guestbooks, notebooks, films, pamphlets, programs, equipment, and other ephemera relating to the founding and operation of Linfield Research Institute.

Amongst the memorabilia and ephemera of the Linfield Upward Bound Collection, there are significant numbers of candid photos and slides documenting the 42-year history of the grant-run program at the Linfield campus. Because this program was federally run and supported, there are numerous grant application materials and fact- books pertaining to intricacies of federal TRIO program policies. This collection also contains examples of student work, articles documenting Upward Bound successes and scrapbooks compiled during the Upward Bound program’s presence at the Linfield campus.
