The collection is arranged in the following series: Biographical Information; Addresses; Correspondence; Interviews; Printed Materials; Photographs; and Recordings. The biographical information includes information about Mr. Rusk and about his family. The addresses are copies of speeches given at Davidson College and at other functions. The correspondence dates from 1939-1994, most of which is between Davidson College and Dean Rusk. The correspondence, 1931-1942 with Professor G.R. Vowles follows Rusk as a Rhodes Scholar and his work at Mills College. There are published interviews, as well as transcriptions of televised interviews. The majority of the collection is printed material, which includes information about Dean Rusk's activities with Davidson College and other places, awards and honors, articles from periodicals, information from his political life, press releases, and information about the Rockefeller Foundation. There are photographs from 1930-1984 and undated, including an autographed portrait. There are reel recordings of his speeches from the 1962 Reynolds lecture series. There is also an oversized scrapbook from the 1994 World Citizen Award Dinner honoring Dean Rusk, which includes letters from Henry Kissinger, James Baker, and Warren Christopher.
