The Civil Rights History Project: Survey of Collections and RepositoriesLewis F. Powell Jr. papersRepository: Washington and Lee University School of Law. Lewis F. Powell, Jr. Archives Collection Description (CRHP): The collection includes many interviews with Powell on his career as a Supreme Court Justice conducted by historians and journalists. Collection Description (Extant): The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers record the life of this Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years 1921-1998 (some few items of family history pre-date this period) and document his legal career; military service in World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and professional organizations; and friendships and family relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is limited, as client files remain with his former law firm, Hunton & Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet, Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of the collection.
