| Abstract: | The Karan English Papers make up an extensive collection of
documents covering the business and issues of Northern Arizona's Coconino County, of the
state of Arizona, and of the U.S. federal government from 1981 to 1994. These papers
include correspondence, reports, articles, newsletters, fact sheets, speeches,
appointment books, daily schedules, position papers, press releases, meeting agendas and
minutes, campaign materials, elections data, voting records, budget records, office
memoranda, and numerous legislative issues files. This manuscript collection is arranged
in five series which run chronologically and follow English's political progression from
Coconino County Supervisor, to Representative in the Arizona House, to member of the
Arizona Senate, and finally to Congresswoman in the United States House of
Representatives. The fifth series is a collection of news clippings covering numerous
topics of local and national significance during her years in the U.S. House. | |
