			The Herbert H. Lehman Papers are completely catalogued. The card index catalogue which includes cross references to subjects and correspondents is available for the use of researchers.

The correspondence with two of Herbert Lehman's biographers, Allan Nevins and William V.

There is also excellent material concerning UNRRA in this file, particularly a series of letters from Herbert Lehman to Mrs. Lehman written while he was on overseas missions, and a brief history of UNRRA by Commander Sir Robert Jackson, Deputy Director-Ge neral, which gives a fine outline of the work of the organization. The special file now also includes correspondence with the most important people who were connected with Herbert Lehman's career. It contains the correspondence with Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman which was not mounted in albums (listing of mounted material). It also contains the complete correspondence with Presidents Herbert C. Hoover, Dwight D.
