Scope and Content Note
The papers of Charles Samuel Joelson (1916-1999) span the years 1944-1969, with the bulk of the material concentrated in the period 1961-1969 during Joelson's service in the House of Representatives from New Jersey's eighth district. The collection consists mainly of constituent correspondence, files relating to bills introduced by Joelson, special projects, including some from his naval career, and speeches and press releases for his Washington, D.C., years.
The collection is organized into four series: Congressional Correspondence and Legislative Mail; Legislative Files; Special Projects; and Speeches, Writings, and Press Material.
