Subseries 14. News Clippings
|
Scope and Content Notes: While Thornburgh served as Attorney General it was the practice of the Department of Justice to clip and distribute daily articles about the department and actions of the Attorney General. These were referred to as AMs and PMs, and were regularly provided twice daily. In these clippings researchers will find articles on virtually every topic of concern or relevance to the department during Thornburgh's tenure in office.
There are two sections of AMs and PMs, the first being "News Summaries" that include a one-sentence summarization of each article, including the name of the newspaper or publication source. The second section consists of the newspaper clippings themselves. These are in chronological order, August 1, 1988-August 16, 1991, generally excluding holidays and weekends. It should be noted that the "news summaries" have been digitized and are available here online to serve as an invaluable index. This enables researchers to search on topics of interest, when the relevant dates may not have been known, thus providing far greater access to this remarkable resource.
The next section here is "Burrelles." These again are bound news clippings, including TV transcripts, which were provided from outside the Department of Justice by this media organization. These clippings are filed in chronological order, though there are some overlapping dates.
Lastly there is a small section of Pennsylvania newspaper clippings. As former Pennsylvania Governor, Thornburgh's interest in his state persisted and clippings were accumulated by him, dating here 1989-1990.
