This series comprises artifacts both belonging to Senator Fong and those given to him during the course of his Senate career, and mementos from his campaigns and pre-Congressional life.

The Campaigns subseries contains non-documentary campaign memorabilia such as flyers, posters, buttons, bunting, and several large placards used in campaign rallies; books inscribed by various presidents (many boxes of office reference books were donated to the UH Library during acquisition and initial appraisal of the papers); and miscellaneous plaques given at honorary events and as awards, notably the Horatio Alger award bestowed upon Fong in 1970. Of interest are the handwritten Harvard Law School notebooks (Fong graduated in 1935), and Fong’s 1931 UH college yearbook, Ka Palapala, in the Pre-Congressional subseries. Finally, personalized desk sets, office name plates, pens, ashtrays, license plates, and other miscellany may be found in the Senator’s Desk subseries.
