| Original Document Sources | Determining Original Image Location |
| The documents in this web
page were photographed from originals found in the private papers of the
Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, located as follows:
Justice Blackmun:
Justice Brennan:
Justice Marshall:
Justice Powell:
The unfailing courtesy and outstanding assistance of the Manuscript Reference Librarians at the Library of Congress, particularly Bruce Kirby, and of John Jacobs at the Lewis F. Powell, Jr. Archives are gratefully acknowledged. Stephanie Outlaw and George Ngengwe provided outstanding research assistance in connection with this site. LaDonna McCullough worked tirelessly to convert files into more readable form. Finally, Sharon Kennedy took a week from her active law practice to help her alma mater and old professor in his research at the Library of Congress. My sincere thanks to all of them. Without their help, this website could not have been created. |
The document files you view
on this website are pdf versions of digital photographic copies of the
original documents found in the sources described to the left.
The image storage system automatically assigned an
image code to each image that indicated the collection, box, file
and page at which it was found.
For example, a memo given the original image number WJB437F60073 was found in the William J. Brennan Collection, in Box 437 File 6 and was the 73rd page in that file. (Note that the last four digits indicate the page number. As a result, a number like LFP189F100002, indicates the second page of Box 189 File 10, not File 1.) In the pdf document, the image number of the first page appears as part of the pdf file name. (See red underlining below.) If the document has more than one page, the image numbers of each page appear as bookmark names. (See red arrow below.)
