Speeches (18 linear feet; 1969-1973) is the largest series in the Post-Gubernatorial subgroup of the Romney papers. Arranged chronologically, each file usually contains Romney's reading copy of the speech, a published or mimeographed version of the speech, background material used by the speechwriters in the preparation of the address, and clippings and correspondence about Romney's appearance. This series originally consisted of two separate chronologies: one a file of speeches as maintained by Peg Little, Romney's secretary, and two, the files of Romney's principal speechwriters, Albert A. Applegate and Kent S. Larsen. These sequences have been folded together for ease of access.
