Personal papers, 1930 to 2001

The personal papers series (1930-2001) contains Robert Woodruff’s personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, awards, certificates, newsletters, and documents concerning his community activities throughout Las Vegas, Nevada and Sedona, Arizona. Materials include a collection of Las Vegas newsletters published in 1939, including Woodruff’s own newsletter, the Town Crier. The material documenting his community activities focus primarily on the Chamber of Commerce and Board of City Commissioners in Las Vegas, but there is also a small amount from the 1938 Las Vegas Helldorado Days event. The series also contains the notes and articles Woodruff wrote while working for Riddle Scenic Tours, providing a glimpse into 1930s Las Vegas tourism.
