The John J. Raskob Papers at Hagley Museum and Library

The papers of John J. Raskob contain about 400,000 items, arranged alphabetically by subject or correspondent in slightly more than 2,500 numbered files. The materials are dated between 1900 and 1950, although a very few items date from the late 1890s and small parts of some files date beyond the year of Raskob's death.

The papers are a deposit from the Raskob Foundation for Catholic Activities, and some restrictions apply to their use. Files containing personal information and correspondence of John J. Raskob's living children may be accessed with permission of the Raskob Foundation.
