Abstract

The significant portion of the Irvin Dugan papers consists of original drawings that Mr. Dugan made during his career as the staff artist for the Huntington Publishing Company. The subject matter of the cartoons includes topics of national as well as local and regional interest; some representative subjects are the war bond drive during World War II, election campaigns, Disabled American Veterans, United Fund, and various athletic events.

Also included is correspondence from many service organizations regarding the use of the cartoons for public service advertising; letters from individuals include those from Edward Stettinius, Jr., Rex Stout, and the office of John L. Lewis. There are also newspaper clippings of the cartoons as well as a small collection of other printed material.
