The collection reflects Bradshaw’s work in journalism and his interest in local history. There are texts for columns he wrote for The Morning Star and the Daily Advertiser, and editorials for the Daily World. The subject files contain material he has gathered or that was sent to him regarding local history. Brochures were generally removed and sent to the Louisiana Room for the Vertical File. Photocopies of publications held in the Special Collections Department were also removed.

Jim Bradshaw donated this collection.
