Scope and Content Note
The papers of Stewart Hensley (1913-1976) span the years 1936-1975 with the bulk of the material dated after 1942. The papers are organized into the following series: General Correspondence, Notebooks, Subject File, News Releases, and Miscellany.
Although some of Hensley's correspondence in the General Correspondence series is exchanged with prominent contemporaries such as Zbigniew Brzezinski, Dean Rusk, and Ronald L. Ziegler, the remainder and largest part is of a routine nature concerning speaking engagements and personal affairs.
The Notebooks series includes spiral-bound notebooks containing Hansley's notes of interviews and conversations with State Department and other government officials, some of which were used for publication.
The Subject File and News Releases series contain reference and research files composed of newspaper articles and clippings, press kits and releases, reports, printed matter, and other items of a similar nature. The Miscellany series includes certificates, invitations, and printed matter.
