His travels took him all over the country and to several foreign countries gathering materials and conducting interviews.

He arranged his materials into dozens of oversize notebooks which were divided into topics and subtopics.

Robert Bradley Cutler was born on November 8, 1913 in Charles River, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard University and the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific theater in World War II. He practiced architecture in New York City, Boston and Manchester, Massachusetts. He researched extensively the assassinations of both John and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., published several books on his theories and established The Conspiracy Museum in Dallas, Texas to disprove the lone assassin conclusion of the Warren Commission's investigation of President Kennedy's assassination.

William Penn Jones, Jr. (1914-1998) was a journalist and World War II veteran best known for his research into the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Jones wrote a series of books entitled Forgive My Grief and was editor-in-chief of The Continuing Inquiry, a newsletter focused on assassination theories. This collection contains a nearly complete run of The Continuing Inquiry and is full text-searchable.

In 1963, Penn Jones became involved in investigating the assassination of John F. Kennedy. A fellow researcher, Gary Mack, later explained, "Penn was one of the first generation of researchers who felt the government was behind the assassination - probably a conspiracy involving military intelligence... He always thought LBJ was behind it somehow." Jones was also the author of several books on the assassination: Forgive My Grief I-IV (1966-1976).

The materials in this collection include slides and photographs from White's personal collection. The slide carousels contain images - and, in some cases, scripts - of presentations White gave to various audiences on his work analyzing photographs of the assassination and its major players. Additional slides that contain sensitive material (such as photographs taken during postmortems for both President Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald as well as stills from the Zapruder Film) have been omitted from this digital archive.

William Robert "Bob" Poage served as U.S. Representative from Texas' 11th Congressional District from January 3, 1937 until his resignation on December 31, 1978 (75th-95th Congresses).

Following his 1978 retirement, Poage donated his papers from nearly fifty years of public service to Baylor University, forming the keystone of the present Poage Legislative Library.
