State Chair, Democratic State Central Committee files

The largest series in the Democratic Party record group are the files of the individual chairs of the State Central Committee. The names of these chairs are Zolton Ferency (1963-1968), Sander Levin (1968-1969), James McNeely (1969-1973), Morley Winograd (1973-1979), Richard Wiener (1983-1989), F. Thomas Lewand (1989-1991), and Gary Corbin (1991-1996). The records of Olivia Maynard when she served as state chair (1979-1983) will be found throughout the Headquarters and Topical Files. There is also a separately cataloged collection of Olivia Maynard personal papers. Although there are variations in the quantity and content of the records of each chair, there is usually documentation of the administration of the State Central Committee office, the management of the state conventions, the oversight of the various state elections, and the Party's activities at the national convention and during presidential campaigns. Another value of these files is for their documentation of the issues of the day.
