The Joseph J. Sirak, Jr. collection (1960-1988; undated) contains eighteen boxes of letters, photographs, clippings, articles,
autographs, and autographed books regarding politicians and authors. Often the materials include a summary of how Sirak met

Sometimes, the correspondence includes a discussion of the author's writings. A majority of the genres of the books in this
collection fall under mystery, science fiction, and western. This collection also includes clippings and articles about the
politicans and authors; short stories, articles, and books written by the included authors; and photographs taken when Sirak
met with the author or politican. Authors include Louis L'Amour, Ursula LeGuin, Earle Stanley Gardner, Daphne du Maurier,
and Pearl S. Buck. Other books include mystery anthologies such as various Alfred Hitchcock series, Ellery Queen's Masters
of Mystery, and Best Detective Stories of the Year; and articles and clippings are often from "Fangoria" and "TV Guide". Politicians
include several governors, congressmen, senators, and others including Richard Nixon, George Schultz, Margaret Chase Smith,
