Gambling, 1972
Scope and Contents
The Arlyne Reichert papers are arranged in nine series: correspondence (1969-1988), organizational records (1971-1989), writings (1971-1973), news releases (1972), printed materials (1967-1989), speeches (1971-1982), subject files (1965-1990), news clippings (1971-1984), and miscellany (1990). Correspondence related to Reichert’s time as a Constitutional Convention delegate, state legislator, and member of the Constitutional Society—the organization created by the former Convention delegates to stay in touch and meet once a year—make up the bulk of the collection. Some of the correspondence relates to Reichert’s involvement in the Montana Constitutional Society, but most of it is constituent correspondence from Reichert’s term as a Convention delegate and a state legislator. Correspondence is arranged alphabetically by topic. The organizational records, printed materials, and writings pertain to the Constitutional Convention and Constitutional Society, and the speeches, news releases, and miscellany series each contain only a few items. Subject files and news clippings consist mostly of information related to the Constitutional Convention, separation of powers, and legislative organization, particularly the topic of a unicameral legislature.
