COLLECTION DESCRIPTION

The Philleo Nash Files, part of the Staff Member and Office Files of the Harry S. Truman Papers, document some of his service as Special Assistant and Administrative Assistant to President Harry S. Truman. Nash left the material in these files at the conclusion of his government service and when the administration ended in 1953, his files were shipped to Kansas City as part of Mr. Truman's presidential papers, which Truman subsequently donated to the United States government. The collection consists of seven series: General Correspondence File, Committee on Government Contract Compliance File, Conscientious Objectors File, Fair Employment Practices Committee File, Indian File, President's Committee on Civil Rights File, and the President's Committee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity in the Armed Services File.
